摘要: A method and apparatus are provided that facilitate analysis of the intended flow of logical signals between key points in a design. According to one aspect of the present invention, hardware design defects can be detected using a novel Intent-Driven Verification process. First, a representation of a hardware design and information regarding the intended flow of logical signals among variables in the representation are received. Then, the existence of potential errors in the hardware design may be inferred based upon the information regarding the intended flow of logical signals by (1) translating the information regarding the intended flow of logical signals into a comprehensive set of checks that must hold true in order for the hardware design to operate in accordance with the intended flow of logical signals, and (2) determining if any of the checks can be violated during operation of circuitry represented by the hardware design.

摘要: A method and apparatus are provided that facilitate analysis of the intended flow of logical signals between key points in a design. According to one aspect of the present invention, multiple design verification checks associated with a hardware design are linked by determining dependency reationships among the multiple design verification checks. Each of the design verification checks represent a condition that must hold true in order for the hardware design to operate in accordance with an intended flow of logical signals in the hardware design.

摘要: A method and apparatus for characterizing information about design attributes is described. The characterization process may begin with determining the dependency among the attributes within a hardware design. Once the dependency is determined, the most relevant information about the hardware design attribute may be highlighted. A user can then focus their attention on the highlighted aspects of the design attribute to draw conclusions about the hardware design as a whole.
