Jasper is the premier electronic design automation (EDA) supplier of high-level formal functional verification software. All the big 3 already have their own formal technology but the technology the leading companies seem to depend on most heavily is Jasper’s JasperGold technology, which is perceived as having the most advanced technology. Cadence put the Jasper technology together with their existing Incisive technology. In fact, they put it together will all their verification technology: Verilog simulation, Palladium emulation, virtual platforms and more. The theme in verification these days is to take all the various approaches and unify them so that they use the same debuggers, same user interfaces, take the same inputs, assertions and then put some sort of metric-driven methodology together so that the most appropriate technology is used without overlap (so you don’t waste time using simulation to test something that has already been formally proven, for
