In this paper we describe a methodology for the formal verification of a DSP chip using the HOL theorem prover. We used an iterative method to specify both the behavioral and stru...
Few formal verification techniques are currently available for asynchronous designs. In this paper, we describe a new approach for the formal verification of asynchronous architec...
Contemporary microprocessors implement many iterative algorithms. For example, the front-end of a microprocessor repeatedly fetches and decodes instructions while updating interna...

Architectural decisions for DSP modules are often analyzed using high level C models. Such high-level explorations allow early examination of the algorithms and the architectural ...
— The concept of applying partial fencing to logic built-in self test (LBIST) hardware structures for the purpose of using partially good chips is well known in the chip design i...
