Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...
—Functional simulation is still the primary workhorse for verifying the functional correctness of hardware designs. Functional verification is necessarily incomplete because it i...
Schneider's work on rank functions [14] provides a formal approach to verification of certain properties of a security protocol. However, he illustrates the approach only wit...
Due to their high volume, general-purpose processors, and now chip multiprocessors (CMPs), are much more cost effective than ASICs, but lag significantly in terms of performance a...
Packet classification is an important function in a router’s line-card. Although many excellent solutions have been proposed in the past, implementing high speed packet classifi...
