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...
When designers create RTL models from a system-level specification, arrays in the system-level model are often implemented as memories in the RTL. Knowing the correspondence betwe...

Software development and maintenance are costly endeavors. The cost can be reduced if more software defects are detected earlier in the development cycle. This paper introduces th...
The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
