Barefoot Networks Turns to Oski Technology for Formal Verification Expertise
Formal Verification Experts From Both Companies Worked to Verify World's Fastest and Fully Programmable Ethernet Switch Chip Design
(firmenpresse) - MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/22/16 -- , the world''s only dedicated formal verification service provider, today announced that its formal verification experts enabled , a pioneer in building user-programmable and high-performance forwarding planes, with verification of the design for the company''s Tofino™ switch chip. Barefoot''s Tofino chip processes packets at 6.5 terabits per second and is also fully programmable.
Barefoot Networks turned to Oski Technology for assistance with verifying the design of the Tofino chip, knowing that Oski had experience making formal verification scale to designs as complex as that of Tofino, which includes breakthrough programmable packet processing technology. The team of formal verification experts from Barefoot Networks and Oski Technology used a broad variety of advanced formal verification techniques to verify the switch''s complex interconnect.
"Oski Technology''s formidable formal verification team played an important role in helping us verify critical portions of our Tofino chip, which is the fastest switch ever built," says Dan Lenoski, Barefoot Networks'' Co-Founder and Vice President of Engineering. "Everyone assigned to our project was highly knowledgeable and dependable, which was absolutely critical to the credibility of a startup, especially against an aggressive schedule."
Amit Joshi, Oski Technology''s Vice President of Engineering, adds: "The Barefoot Tofino switch chip''s fully programmable architecture, even at industry leading bandwidth, created challenges for formal verification that Oski Technology was able to help address and solve.
