In this context, bounded model checking (BMC) has become popular for falsifying erroneous designs. Additionally, the analysis of partial designs, i.e., circuits that are not fully specified, has recently gained attraction. In this work we analyze how BMC can be applied to such partial designs. Our experiments show that even with the most simple modelling scheme, namely 01X-simulation, a relevant number of errors can be detected.

The number of transistors in memories forms a majority of the transistors in a typical high performance microprocessor. Therefore, modeling embedded memories is an important challenge in high performance microprocessor design. A typical design process involves a multiplicity of interacting methodologies - simulation, formal verification, design for test, emulation etc. Memory models are needed for each of these methodologies. This complicates the process of modeling memories. The authors present a tool called MemGen that automates memory model generation for all methodologies. It has been used in-house in Motorola Inc. and then later in Freescale Semiconductor Inc. in all high performance design projects.

Designers frequently utilize low-level optimization techniques and develop many iterations of the same block in order to close a timing gap. Simulation with random stimulus is the traditional method for verifying that these changes do not introduce a change in the functional behavior of the block. For the development of a new high-performance core at Freescale Semiconductor the authors decided to instead research the possibility of using formal techniques, in the form of sequential equivalence checking, for this form of verification. Various equivalence checking tools were evaluated for this task. Initial results looked promising and the authors decided to integrate this capability into our design flow.

An Investigation of Excitation Balance and Additional Mandatory Conditions for the Diagnosis of Fortuitously Detected Defects 偶然检测缺陷诊断的激励平衡和附加强制条件研究

{"title":"An Investigation of Excitation Balance and Additional Mandatory Conditions for the Diagnosis of Fortuitously Detected Defects","authors":"Jennifer Dworak","doi":"10.1109/MTV.2005.6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/MTV.2005.6","url":null,"abstract":"As circuits scale to ever smaller feature sizes, the types of defects that occur become increasingly complex and difficult to model. They generally do not behave like the faults considered during test pattern generation and therefore must be fortuitously detected by the pattern set. This mismatch of faults and defects also poses significant problems for diagnosis. This presentation describes a preliminary investigation into the use of mandatory conditions for the detection of both faults and defects with applications to defect diagnosis. It will show that multiple site observations and good excitation balance are essential not only for adequate fortuitous defect detection-they are also necessary for the determination of the mandatory conditions and implications that accompany those detections, and thus enable the diagnosis of these fortuitously detected and unmodeled defects as well","PeriodicalId":179953,"journal":{"name":"2005 Sixth International Workshop on Microprocessor Test and Verification","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133902859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
