—Checking the equivalence of a system-level model against an RTL design is a major challenge. The reason is that usually the system-level model is written by a system architect, ...
A method for inferring latches from combinational loops in a netlist using boolean equations is proposed in this paper. The method takes advantage of the solutions structure of th...
We describe techniques for diagnosing errors in formal equivalence checking of RTL and transistor level models of high performance microprocessors at Freescale Semiconductor Inc. ...
—Designers often apply manual or semi-automatic loop and data transformations on array and loop intensive programs to improve performance. For the class of static affine program...

In this paper we develop a theory of equivalence checking (EC) and logic synthesis of circuits with a common specification (CS). We show that two combinational circuits N1, N2 have...
