Method, apparatus, and product for performing incremental formal verification. A computer-implemented method performed by a computerized device. The method comprises: obtaining invariants with respect to a first model; determining a portion of the invariants that are invariants with respect to a second model, and utilizing the portion of the invariants to check that the second model holds a property.
摘要:
Computer-implemented techniques are disclosed for defining an environment for formal verification of a design-under-test. Initially there is extraction of design inputs by a design analysis module, and presentation of the inputs on a graphical user interface. Behavior options for the design inputs are offered on the graphical user interface for selection by an operator. Environment code that is descriptive of the design inputs and selected behavior options is emitted, typically in a hardware description language, for submission to a formal verification tool. A meta-code file containing the assigned behavior options is generated to aid subsequent sessions.
摘要:
A model may comprise finite paths in respect to a constraint. The model and the constraint may be modified such that a portion of the limitations induces by the constraint is injected to the model. Adding the limitation directly to the model may be expressed by a reduction of a measurement of nondeterminism in the model. The model may be modified based on the constraint, and the constraint may be modified based on the model. The constraint may be strengthened to provide for an early finite path detection.
摘要:
A method for verification of a system design represented by a model that includes a plurality of variables. The method includes arranging the variables in an Ordered Binary Decision Diagram (OBDD) according to an initial order of the variables, the OBDD including a number of nodes arranged in rows corresponding respectively to the plurality of the variables. Each processor, among a group of two or more computer processors, is assigned a respective variable among the plurality of the variables. Using each processor, the rows of the OBDD are reordered by varying a position in the OBDD of the row corresponding to the respective variable that is assigned to the processor until at least one of the processors identifies a new order for the OBDD. The new order of the OBDD may be used to verify a characteristic of the model against a specification.

摘要:
A computerized system comprising: a processor; a first interface configured to obtain a constraint; a second interface configured to obtain a first model, wherein the first model is configured to be utilized in model checking, and the first model, when constrained by the constraint, comprises at least one finite path; and a finite path removal module implemented in the processor and configured to generate a second model equivalent to the first model obtained by said second interface, wherein the second model excludes a portion of the at least one finite path, and the second model is configured to be utilized in model checking.
摘要:
Phase abstraction may be utilized to increase efficiency of model checking techniques. A liveness property may be checked in respect to a phase abstracted model by modifying the liveness property in accordance with the phase abstracted model. A fairness property may be modified to ensure that the fairness property is held by the model checker. A counter-example produced by a model checker is modified to be in accordance to an original model. The counter-example comprises a repetitive behavior. The counter-example may be modified to shorten the repetitive behavior or to apply the repetitive behavior in an earlier cycle of the counter-example.
摘要:
Formal verification of models using concurrent model-reduction and model-checking. For example, a system for formal verification of models includes: one or more model reducers to reduce a model; one or more model checkers to check the model, wherein at least one of the model reducers is to run concurrently with at least one of the model checkers; and a model synchronizer to synchronize information between at least one of the model reducers and at least one of the model checkers.
