Abstract: Hardware description language (HDL) code for an integrated circuit (IC) design may be parsed to obtain an IC design parse tree. A transformation pattern may include a first pattern and a second pattern. The transformation pattern may be parsed to obtain a transformation pattern parse tree. The IC design parse tree and the transformation pattern parse tree may be used to identify a portion of the HDL code that matches the first pattern. The identified portion of the HDL code may be transformed based on the second pattern to obtain a transformed portion of the HDL code. The portion of the HDL code may be replaced by the transformed portion of the HDL code.

Abstract: A method for reconstructing at least one output signal associated to a sequential logic circuitry block of a circuit is disclosed. At least one input signal is associated to the sequential logic circuitry block. The method comprises determining a value of the at least one output signal depending on the at least one input signal and determining a transfer function for computing the value of the output signal directly after a timestamp depending on the input signal and/or on the value of the output signal directly before the timestamp. The method further comprises computing the value of the at least one output signal directly after the timestamp as a function value of the transfer function, if a reconstruction condition is fulfilled.
