Abstract. This paper presents a scalable method for parallel symbolic on-the-fly model checking in a distributed memory environment. Our method combines a scheme for on-the-fly mod...
With increased logic density due to the shift towards Deep Submicron technologies (DSM), FPGAs have become a viable option for implementing large designs. However, most commercial...
