WEDNESDAY, June 15, 2005, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM | Room: 210AB
TOPIC AREA:  SYSTEM-LEVEL DESIGN AND VERIFICATION (tools)

   SESSION 28
  Effective Formal Verification Using Word-level Reasoning, Bit-level Generality, and Parallelism
  Chair: Howard Wong-Toi - Jasper Design Automation, Mountain View, CA
  Organizers: Adnan Aziz, Pei-Hsin Ho

  The papers in this session address the challenges of formally verifying real-world designs. The first two papers exploit designer intent inferred from the RT-level description. The third paper uses bit-level arithmetic to reduce the complexity of SAT-based BMC. The fourth paper presents a new low-cost approach to sequential redundancy removal. The final paper leverages parallelism to speed-up BDD-based reachability analysis.
