Promising directions in hardware design verification
Shaz Qadeer, Serdar Taşiran · 2003
Ensuring the functional correctness of hardware early in the design cycle is crucial for both economic and methodological reasons. However, current verification techniques are inadequate for industrial designs. Formal verification techniques are exhaustive but do not scale; partial verification techniques based on simulation scale well but are not exhaustive. This paper discusses promising approaches for improving the scalability of formal verification and comprehensiveness of partial verification.
