STAGE 04 OF 05
Pre-Silicon Validation
FPGA-proven, before silicon. Catch what simulation alone can't — also available as a standalone solution.
WHAT IT DOES
Three things this stage produces
FPGA Validation
The chosen architecture runs on real programmable hardware — not just a model of it.
Real Workload Testing
Validated against your actual inference traces, not synthetic benchmark suites.
Go / No-Go Gate
A clear pass before you commit to an expensive, hard-to-reverse fabrication run.
INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
What this stage needs, and what it hands on
WHAT GOES IN
Selected architecture and its RTL
Your real inference workloads
Pass criteria agreed up front: accuracy, latency, power
WHAT COMES OUT
FPGA prototype running your workload
Validation report against the pass criteria
A go/no-go decision for tapeout
CLEAN FUTURE CF-1
Pre-Silicon Validation on CF-1
CF-1 is being proven on FPGA hardware against its target workloads before tapeout, so the design that goes to silicon is one we have already seen run.
The last checkpoint before your design becomes physical.
Tell us about your workload and we'll tell you what it needs from silicon.
