Today, many formal analysis tools are not only used to provide certainty but are also used to debug software systems – a role that has traditional been reserved for testing tool...
Ever-growing complexity is forcing design to move above RTL. For example, golden functional models are being written as clearly as possible in software and not optimized or intend...
— With the success of formal verification techniques like equivalence checking and model checking for hardware designs, there has been growing interest in applying such techniqu...
