Real Intent and Assertion-Based Verification
Real Intent actively participates and supports the work of Accellera’s Assertion technical committee, and is among the technology donators to Accellera’s SystemVerilog language standard.

Verix™ is Real Intent's pioneering assertion-based formal verification system that verifies that a design is free from a large class of errors early in the design cycle, prior to simulation and synthesis. Verix features a number of formal verification innovations including: clock intent verification, automatic checks, scalable hierarchical verification, in-line assertions and automatic generation of simulation checker from formal assertions. Verix speeds the design of high-end semiconductors and systems-on-chip by formally verifying the design as the RTL is created.
