SESSION 14
|
| | Advances in Formal Solvers
 |
| | Chair: Jeremy Levitt - Mentor Graphics Corp., San Jose, CA
|
| | Organizers: Alan Hu, Anmol Mathur
|
| | The session focuses on advances in Boolean and word-level solvers at the heart of formal verification tools. The first paper describes a distributed approach to dynamic variable ordering for BDDs. The next paper describes the use of SAT for redundancy removal using output don't-cares for simplifying circuit descriptions for simplifying Boolean reasoning. The third paper presents word-level techniques for efficient solution of difference logic. The final paper in this session proposes a novel framework for extracting illegal states of a sequential circuit and using them during SAT-based induction.
