This is the second of our books designed to help the professional verifier manage complexity. This time, we have responded to a growing interest not only in object-oriented programming but also in SystemVerilog. The writing of this second handbook has been just another step in an ongoing masochistic endeavor to make your professional lives as painfree as possible. The authors are not special people. We have worked in several companies, large and small, made mistakes, and generally muddled through our work. There are many people in the industry who are smarter than we are, and many coworkers who are more experienced. However, we have a strong desire to help. We have been in the lab when we bring up the chips fresh from the fab, with customers and sales breathing down our necks. We’ve been through software 1 bring-up and worked on drivers that had to work around bugs in production chips. What we feel makes us unique is our combined broad experience from both the software and hardware worlds. Mike has over 20 years of experience from the software world that he applies in this book to hardware verification. Robert has over 12 years of experience with hardware verification, with a focus on environments and methodology.

The task of verification is always larger than the task of the design effort. Why? Because the verification system has to encompass the entire functionality of the device under verification. It has to mimic the real world environment that the device will actual operate in. It needs to catch functional errors. It needs to give feedback information to guide further verification. The design effort proceeds from a design specification. Verification systems need to proceed from a verification plan. A comprehensive document that describes the verification system and all its components. A plan that details how the verification system will be built. With the advent of hardware verification languages, today's verifications systems have grown in complexity making verification plans even more paramount. This book is a practical guide on how to get a verification team jumpstarted into verification success by the joint creation of a verification plan. The book includes: -A detailed five day approach that gives day by day, step by step instructions on how to design and document your verification system. -An introduction to hardware verification languages, their pseudo-random mindset, their enabling methodologies (generation, checking and coverage), and how these effect the development of a verification plan. -Practical guidance in common people issues, formatting decisions and information extraction methods to enhance your verification plan brainstorming sessions. -An appendix full of verification plan examples and support documents.

Methods for detecting logical errors in computer hardware designs using symbolic manipulation instead of digital simulation are discussed. A non-procedural register transfer language is proposed that is suitable for describing how a digital circuit should perform. This language can also be used to describe each of the components used in the design. Transformations are presented which should enable the designer to either prove or disprove that the set of interconnected components correctly satisfy the specifications for the overall system. The problem of detecting timing anomalies such as races, hazards, and oscillations is addressed. Also explored are some interesting relationships between the problems of hardware verification and program verification. Finally, the results of using an existing proof checking program on some digital circuits are presented. Although the theorem proving approach is not very efficient for simple circuits, it becomes increasingly attractive as circuits become more complex. This is because the theorem proving approach can use complicated component specifications without reducing them to the gate level. (Author).

Hardware verification is a hot topic in circuit and system design due to rising circuit complexity. This advanced textbook presents an almost complete overview of techniques for hardware verification. It covers all approaches used in existing tools, such as binary and word-level decision diagrams, symbolic methods for equivalence checking, and temporal logic model checking, and introduces the use of higher-order logic theorem proving for verifying circuit correctness. It enables the reader to understand the advantages and limitations of each technique. Each chapter contains an introduction and a summary as well as a section for the advanced reader. Thus a broad audience is addressed, from beginners in system design to experts.

This is the first book to focus on the problem of ensuring the correctness of floating-point hardware designs through mathematical methods. Formal Verification of Floating-Point Hardware Design advances a verification methodology based on a unified theory of register-transfer logic and floating-point arithmetic that has been developed and applied to the formal verification of commercial floating-point units over the course of more than two decades, during which the author was employed by several major microprocessor design companies. The book consists of five parts, the first two of which present a rigorous exposition of the general theory based on the first principles of arithmetic. Part I covers bit vectors and the bit manipulation primitives, integer and fixed-point encodings, and bit-wise logical operations. Part II addresses the properties of floating-point numbers, the formats in which they are encoded as bit vectors, and the various modes of floating-point rounding. In Part III, the theory is extended to the analysis of several algorithms and optimization techniques that are commonly used in commercial implementations of elementary arithmetic operations. As a basis for the formal verification of such implementations, Part IV contains high-level specifications of correctness of the basic arithmetic instructions of several major industry-standard floating-point architectures, including all details pertaining to the handling of exceptional conditions. Part V illustrates the methodology, applying the preceding theory to the comprehensive verification of a state-of-the-art commercial floating-point unit. All of these results have been formalized in the logic of the ACL2 theorem prover and mechanically checked to ensure their correctness. They are presented here, however, in simple conventional mathematical notation. The book presupposes no familiarity with ACL2, logic design, or any mathematics beyond basic high school algebra. It will be of interest to verification engineers as well as arithmetic circuit designers who appreciate the value of a rigorous approach to their art, and is suitable as a graduate text in computer arithmetic.

This state-of-the-art monograph presents a coherent survey of a variety of methods and systems for formal hardware verification. It emphasizes the presentation of approaches that have matured into tools and systems usable for the actual verification of nontrivial circuits. All in all, the book is a representative and well-structured survey on the success and future potential of formal methods in proving the correctness of circuits. The various chapters describe the respective approaches supplying theoretical foundations as well as taking into account the application viewpoint. By applying all methods and systems presented to the same set of IFIP WG10.5 hardware verification examples, a valuable and fair analysis of the strenghts and weaknesses of the various approaches is given.
