Verification of system designs continues to be a major challenge today. Simulation remains the primary tool for making sure that implementations perform as they should. We present...

Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) often fail to exploit sharing between Boolean functions that differ only in their support variables. In a memory circuit, for example, the function...
Power consumption, particularly runtime leakage, in long on-chip buses has grown to an unacceptable portion of the total power budget due to heavy buffer insertion to combat RC de...

As across-chip interconnect delays can exceed a clock cycle, wire pipelining becomes essential in high performance designs. Although it allows higher clock frequencies, it may cha...
Design and verification of systems at the Register-Transfer (RT) or behavioral level require the ability to reason at higher levels of abstraction. Difference logic consists of an...
