OCCOM: Efficient Computation of Observability-Based Code Coverage Metrics for Functional Verification
—Functional simulation is still the primary workhorse for verifying the functional correctness of hardware designs. Functional verification is necessarily incomplete because it i...

A Functional Validation Technique: Biased-Random Simulation Guided by Observability-Based Coverage
We present a simulation-based semi-formal verification method for sequential circuits described at the registertransfer level. The method consists of an iterative loop where cove...

An observability-based code coverage metric for functional simulation
Functional simulation is the most widely used method for design verification. At various levels of abstraction, e.g., behavioral, register-transfer level and gate level, the design...

Functional Test Generation using Constraint Logic Programming
— Semi-formal verification based on symbolic simulation offers a good compromise between formal model checking and numerical simulation. The generation of functional test vector...

Improving validation coverage metrics to account for limited observability
—In both pre-silicon and post-silicon validation, the detection of design errors requires both stimulus capable of activating the errors and checkers capable of detecting the beh...
