Aggressive voltage scaling to 1V and below through technology, circuit, and architecture optimization has been proven to be the key to ultra low-power design. The key technology t...
We reduce the state explosion problem in automatic verification of finite-state systems by automatically collapsing subgraphs of the aph into abstract states. The key idea of the ...
Burch and Dill [3] described an automatic method for verifying a pipelined processor against its instruction setarchitecture(ISA). We describethree techniquesfor improving this me...
Abstract-- It is impractical to verify multiplier or divider circuits entirely at the bit-level using ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), because the BDD representations for t...
This paper provides a case study that shows how a demanding application stresses the capabilities of today's CAD tools, especially in the integration of products from multipl...
