Functional verification is widely acknowledged as a major bottleneck in microprocessor design. While early work on specification driven functional test program generation has prop...
Abstract State Machines (ASMs) provide a sound mathematical basis for the specification and verification of systems. An application of the ASM methodology to the verification of a ...
This paper makes the idea of memory shadowing [5] applicable to symbolic ternary simulation. Memory shadowing, an extension of Burch and Dill's pipeline verification method [...
We propose instruction-driven slicing, a new technique for annotating microprocessor descriptions at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) in order to achieve lower power dissipation....
