A novel method to solve the state encoding problem in Signal Transition Graphs is presented. It is based on the structural theory of Petri nets and can be applied to large specifi...
Abstract: Exploration at the earliest stages of the design process is an integral component of effective low-power design. Nevertheless, superficial high-level analyses with insuff...
Datapath width optimization is very effective for reducing the area of a custom-made embedded system. The trivial way of optimization is to iteratively customize, evaluate, and r...
Symbolic image computation is the most fundamental computation in BDD-based sequential system optimization and formal verification. In this paper, we explore the use of over-appr...
This paper presents novel uses of functional interface specifications for verifying RTL designs. We demonstrate how a simulation environment, a correctness checker, and a function...
