2019 has been a tough year for semiconductor companies from a revenue standpoint, especially for memory companies. On the other hand, the EDA industry has seen another robust growth year.

While the promised flexibility of open source could have advantages and possibilities for processors and SoCs, where does the industry stand on verification approaches and methodologies from here? Single-source ISAs of the past relied on general industry verification technologies and methodologies, but open-source ISA-based processor users and adopters will need to review the verification flows of the processor and SoC.

Raik on OneSpin's four formal technologies the others don't have
Cooley: Raik. You're getting slaughtered by Cadence's Jasper. You went up against Jasper couple of years ago. You were on this panel.
(See ESNUG 563 #5 and ESNUG 563 #9)
In 2016, you were going to make it ... Jasper's #1 in #1 "Best of 2016", from killer capacity & debug OneSpin's #2 in #1 "Best of 2016", the "we try harder" company And how JasperGold compares to OneSpin in the Formal Apps biz ... but in every later survey I've ever seen, you OneSpin guys are just trounced.
Raik: You think so? Your surveys may be wrong. Cooley: No, I seriously. I mean, it's across the board. For generalized formal, you're just not in the game. Not that I'm seeing. I'm seeing an Anirudh take it with Jasper. (See DAC'18 #7)

I’m fascinated with cars, and there is a very famous car maker museum that I visited recently where they gave a thorough rundown of the history of each of their cars from how they are designed, to the materials they used, to the evolution of energy efficiency. It wasn’t until the last exhibit where they talked about the future of automobiles and how AI, including machine learning, is the driving force behind the next several generations of cars and transportation in general. The exhibit went on to explain how each phase of autonomous learning will be exponentially more difficult than the one before. Each phase requires more significant “horse‐power” in terms of data processing, how that data gets connected to everything else, and the customizations “under the hood” to the processors and SoCs.

While many companies do have verification plans, demands on those plans are changing faster than most companies can evolve.
