An Effective SMT Engine for Formal Verification
Formal methods are becoming increasingly important for debugging and verifying hardware and software systems, whose current complexity makes the traditional approaches based on testing increasingly-less adequate. One of the most promising research directions in formal verification is based on the exploitation of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers. In this thesis, we present MathSAT, a...
متن کاملHardware-Accelerated Formal Verification
A semi-formal verification technique, which performs a brute-force compiled simulation with a sophisticated search space pruning, has been proposed and shown to be competitive with the state-of-the-art SAT-based verification techniques [3]. This paper presents a novel approach for accelerating the semi-formal verification by utilizing hardware/software co-execution. To maximize the gain from ha...
متن کاملFormal Hardware Verification with BDDs: An Introduction
Thispaper is a brief introduction to the main paradigms for using BDDs in formal hardware verification. The paperaddresses two audiences: for people doing theoretical BDD research, the paper gives a glimpse of the problems in the main application area, and for people building hardware, the paper gives a peek under the hood of the formal verification technologies that are rapidly gaining industr...
متن کاملFormal Verification of Hardware Synthesis
We report on the implementation of a certified compiler for a high-level hardware description language (HDL) called Fe-Si (FEatherweight SynthesIs). Fe-Si is a simplified version of Bluespec, an HDL based on a notion of guarded atomic actions. Fe-Si is defined as a dependently typed deep embedding in Coq. The target language of the compiler corresponds to a synthesisable subset of Verilog or VH...
متن کاملFormal Specification in VHDL for Formal Hardware Verification
In this paper, we enrich VHDL with new specification constructs intended for hardware verification. Using our extensions, total correctness properties may now be stated whereas only partial correctness can be expressed using the standard VHDL assert statement. All relevant properties can now be specified in such a way that the designer does not need to use formalisms like temporal logics. As th...
