Formally Verifying WARP-V, an Open-Source TL-Verilog RISC-V Core Generator
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
Our primary verification vehicle for WARP-V was a formal verification framework for RISC-V, called riscv-formal. ...
The timing-abstract and transaction-level logic modeling techniques of TL-Verilog greatly simplified the task of creating a harness connecting the WARP-V model to the verification interface of riscv-formal ...
This paper presents the first real-world use of TL-Verilog for verification modeling and shows how the flexibility benefits of TL-Verilog modeling extend into verification. ...

On embedding a hardware description language in Isabelle/HOL
2019
Design automation for embedded systems
In order to define executable hardware description language while at the same time be fit for formal proofs of properties, a hardware description language VeriFormal, embedded in Isabelle/HOL, was created ...
Among the main features of VeriFormal include formal semantics of the language, support for mechanical reasoning about designs and compiler and type checking of modules using Isabelle/HOL as well as VeriFormal ...
Circuit Verification in VeriFormal The main motivation for creating VeriFormal was to support formal verification of hardware descriptions described in HDL Verilog. ...

Impact of Description Language, Abstraction Layer, and Value Representation on Simulation Performance
2007
2007 Design, Automation & Test in Europe Conference & Exhibition
We found that Verilog is on average 2x faster than VHDL for RTL models. ...
For the presented analysis, we considered five designs that have been modeled in VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, and SystemC, using different value representations and coding styles, covering the abstraction ...
The main reason is that simulation is still the workhorse for verification despite the upcoming of formal methods, emulation, and FPGA prototyping. ...

Use of Formal Verification at Centaur Technology
[chapter]
2010
Design and Verification of Microprocessor Systems for High-Assurance Applications
Overview of Verification Methodology In our verification process, we first translate the Verilog RTL source code of Centaur's design into EMOD, a formally defined HDL. ...
We verify Verilog designs by first translating them into a formally defined hardware description language, and then using a variety of automated verification algorithms controlled by theorem-proving scripts ...
We would also like to thank Bob Boyer for development of much of the technology behind EMOD and the ACL2 BDD package, Terry Parks for developing a very detailed floating-point addition specification, and ...

In assertion based functional verification, creation of verification plan, for MBIST controller RTL model and the implementation & simulation of the verification plan using System-Verilog and Synopsys-VCS ...
Assertions are used to check the errors in RTL model of MBIST controller and to provide the functionality coverage. Functional coverage metrics are used to track the level or quality of verification. ...
Formal Verification alone cannot be the complete solution for design verification with the existing limitations in design style as it is shown in Figure 1 .3 that formal verification has less number of ...

Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We present a tool for the formal verification of ANSI-C programs using Bounded Model Checking (BMC). ...
This is essential for presenting long counterexample traces: the tool allows stepping through the trace in the same way a debugger allows stepping through a program. ...
We hope to make formal verification tools accessible to non-expert users this way. Hardware Verification using ANSI-C as a Reference. ...

A pointcut-based assertion for high-level hardware design
2008
Proceedings of the 2008 AOSD workshop on Aspects, components, and patterns for infrastructure software - ACP4IS '08
We show that the model is useful for making pointcut-based assertion more robust. ...
Since conventional assertion languages are for conventional HDLs, they only allow specification of change of variables or low-level events raised along with signals. ...
The model in SpecC is more abstract than the one in Verilog HDL (e.g., clock does not show up at all in SpecC model). ...
