Verified RTL/PPA optimization

Push your RTL further.

Turn a trusted RTL baseline into a leaner, faster implementation, with correctness preserved at every step.

One owned block. Your flow. Evidence before adoption.

Three correctness-gated RTL transformations, evaluated under pinned academic VTR/PTM 45 nm contracts.

Evaluation system

Define the win. Prove every step.

Every candidate advances through the same frozen functional, formal, implementation, and evidence checks before it can become a result.

  1. 01

    Lock the target

    Set one block, its interface, objective, target flow, validity limits, and evidence requirements.

  2. 02

    Establish the baseline

    Reproduce the starting RTL, its checks, and its implementation measurement.

  3. 03

    Transform the implementation

    Explore structural changes while holding the evaluation contract constant.

  4. 04

    Prove the candidate

    Run functional, formal, synthesis, route, and evidence-integrity gates.

  5. 05

    Deliver the decision

    Return accepted RTL and its exact evidence package, or a bounded no-improvement finding.

Choose the opportunity

Start with a block that has leverage.

Select an implementation important enough to matter, bounded enough to measure, and owned by engineers who can evaluate the change.

Ready for a pilot

  • Existing synthesizable RTL and clear ownership
  • Stable interface and expected behavior
  • Reproducible functional checks and an agreed formal-equivalence scope
  • Defined FPGA or ASIC implementation flow
  • Clear area, timing, power, or composite objective
  • Engineering owner able to review the final change

Prepare first

  • Architecture or public interface still moving
  • No reproducible baseline or correctness contract
  • Unclear RTL ownership or licensing
  • No authoritative target flow or constraints
  • Requirement for guaranteed improvement
  • Expectation that Göther replaces signoff authority

From baseline to candidate

Watch the implementation evolve.

Preserve the external behavior, reorganize the internal structure, remove unnecessary cost, and prove the result before it advances.

Conceptual visualization: the module interface remains fixed while internal structures are analyzed, removed, merged, rerouted, and verified.

Claim boundary

These are academic VTR/PTM 45 nm post-route estimates on a homogeneous LUT6 target. They are not ASIC signoff, commercial-FPGA characterization, physical-board measurements, measured energy, or manufactured-silicon evidence. Percentages apply only to each case's frozen contract and are not a cross-circuit performance ranking. The ML-KEM CBD case is not side-channel analysis or certification of a complete cryptographic implementation.

Bring your real constraints

Run the pilot in your implementation flow.

The public portfolio qualifies the method under a pinned academic proxy. A customer pilot replaces that proxy with customer-owned RTL, assumptions, libraries, constraints, activity, tools, and acceptance policy.

Design team provides

  • Authorized RTL and dependencies
  • Interface and correctness contract
  • Target technology or device
  • EDA flow, versions, and constraints
  • Activity model when power is in scope
  • Primary metric and validity limits

Göther returns

  • Reproduced baseline record
  • Accepted RTL candidate, if one qualifies
  • Exact before/after patch
  • Functional and formal results
  • Paired implementation evidence
  • Limitations and adoption recommendation

A result means only what the agreed evaluation contract supports.

Start the evaluation

Choose the block. Set the target.

The first conversation should establish the function, target, current flow, correctness stack, primary objective, confidentiality boundary, and evaluation window.

Evaluate one RTL block

Do not attach confidential RTL to the first message.
