Energy (or, more specifically, energy consumption) is at the forefront in everyone's mind these days. Whether we are sensitive to the cost of fuel, to the electricity bill or to a dead cell phone ...

Systems on chip (SoC) and processor design teams are challenged to meet aggressive power, performance and area requirements. As chip complexity grows, teams must verify thousands of lines of code to ...

Checking functional equivalency between system-level models expressed in SystemC or C/C++ and their corresponding RTL representations is an important step toward making the high-level models useful in ...

In this paper, we examine the need for formal sequential equivalence checking across pairs of RTL models. We present scenarios that call for modifying the sequential behavior of RTL models while ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Different design approaches, techniques, and architectures are widely used for synchronous sequential machines. In ...

In this paper, we examine the need for formal sequential equivalence checkingacross pairs of RTL models. We present scenarios that call for modifying thesequential behavior of RTL models while ...
