AI INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SILICON

The reasoning layer
for chip verification.

Vatica turns days of manual debugging into minutes of automated analysis. We reason across logs, waveforms, and RTL to deliver root cause — not more data.

THE PROBLEM

Chip verification debugging is slow, manual, and unpredictable.

Verification dominates 50–70% of silicon engineering effort. When tests fail, engineers still sift through logs, waveforms, and specs by hand to find root cause. The schedule slips. Tapeouts slip with it.

01
Manual
Engineers sift gigabytes of simulation output by hand. Tribal knowledge dominates outcomes.
02
Time-consuming
Hours to days per failure. Debug cycles stretch unpredictably across regressions.
03
Brittle
Hard-coded heuristics break across designs. Tools generate data, not answers.
HOW IT WORKS

Three artifacts. One reasoning engine.

Vatica fuses every artifact your verification flow already produces — waveforms, logs, and RTL — and reasons across them to pinpoint root cause automatically.

VCD

Waveforms

Detect signal anomalies and glitches. Flag X/Z states and metastability. Check timing and protocol windows.

UVM

Simulation Logs

Stream and parse GB-scale logs. Cluster errors. Correlate events across thousands of tests.

01[UVM_ERROR] @1240ns: scoreboard mismatch
02[UVM_INFO] expected = 0xDEAD_BEEF
03[UVM_INFO] actual = 0xDEAD_B00F
04[UVM_ERROR] @1480ns: timeout on req
RTL

SystemVerilog

Parse module hierarchy and signal drivers. Extract FSM states, clock domains, assertions.

02 input logic clk, rst_n,
03 input logic wr_en, rd_en,
04 output logic full, empty

DIAGNOSTIC ENGINE

Six agents. One diagnosis.

Specialized agents collaborate across artifacts. Triage routes the failure; analysts inspect logs, waveforms, and RTL in parallel; synthesis assembles the answer.

01
Triage Agent
Classifies failure type and routes analysis to relevant signals, logs, and modules.
02
Log Analyst
Streams and clusters error patterns across regression output.
03
Waveform Agent
Detects anomalies, X/Z states, and protocol violations in signal traces.
04
RTL Trace Agent
Traces signal drivers and FSM states back through module hierarchy.
05
Knowledge Agent
Retrieves prior debug patterns from a growing repository of resolutions.
06
Synthesis Agent
Assembles root cause, confidence score, and recommended fixes.
DIAGNOSIS PACKAGE
Root cause
FSM in fifo_ctrl.wait_state never exits — missing timeout branch.
Confidence
94%
Recommended fix
Add timeout + recovery branch; assert req |-> ##[1:8] ack.
SPEC STANDARDIZATION

Natural language in. SystemVerilog out.

Engineers describe intent. Vatica generates the assertion. Spec, design, and tests stay aligned — without the brittle handoff.
