Data Sheet Design Services (PDF)

"Veritable's design services consultants played a critical  role in developing our verification strategy and environment for a complex 500MHz seven stage pipe-lined CPU. Veritable's design verification consultants demonstrated the high level of expertise and commitment required to successfully deliver a full featured biased random instruction stream generation software system and verification environment, based on a jointly developed specification, to an extremely aggressive schedule. In fact, within a few days of deployment, the verification system Veritable developed detected two previously undetected bugs in a design that had already taped out ."
