Abstract: The computer processor identifies a first shared set of input ports that are common to a first hardware model and a second hardware model and a second shared set of input ports that are common to a first reference model and a second reference model. The computer processor selects logic of the first hardware model and logic of the second hardware model that are each traceable to the first shared set of input ports and selects logic of the first reference model and logic of the second reference model that are each traceable to the second shared set of input ports. The computer processor determines that the logic of the second hardware model and the logic of the second reference model have verified logic by determining that the logic of the first hardware model is equivalent to the logic of the second hardware model and the logic of the first reference model is equivalent to the logic of the second reference model.

Abstract: A symmetrical multi-processing (SMP) node, a distributed SMP (DSMP) system comprising a plurality of SMP nodes, and a method implemented in the SMP node are disclosed. The SMP node comprises: a plurality of processors, a memory coupled to the plurality of processors, and a memory coherent proxy coupled to the plurality of processors through a coherent accelerator interface. The memory coherent proxy is configured to manage statuses of cache lines in the memory.

Abstract: An apparatus for verification includes a processing module, a data collection module, an engine selection module and an engine execution module. The processing module processes a netlist using a plurality of engines. The netlist includes components and nodes of an integrated circuit design. Each engine includes an algorithm for verification of the integrated circuit design. The data collection module stores, for each engine, execution results for the engine for a plurality of netlists, the results stored in a history buffer. The engine selection module, for a current netlist, calculates using execution results in the history buffer which engine of the plurality of engines has a highest predicted performance and selects the engine with the highest predicted performance. The engine execution module executes the current netlist using the selected engine to produce execution results, reports the execution results and stores the execution results in the history buffer.

Abstract: Efficient codeword synchronization methods and systems for fiber channel protocol are disclosed. The method includes identifying a codeword boundary by detecting 100-bit known patterns in a bit codeword in a transmission.

Abstract: An apparatus for model splitting includes an extraction module that extracts netlist parameters from a static netlist. The netlist parameters include node parameters of each node of the static netlist. The node parameters include node connection information and execution cycle information. The nodes of the static netlist include nodes of an integrated circuit design from an input to an output. A split node module analyzes, using the netlist parameters, each node in a cycle and determines if each node is a potential split node, which is a node with a projected sub-proof execution time less than a time limit. A split chain module determines if a split chain exists. The split chain includes a connection between potential split nodes from the input to the output at each execution cycle. A reporting module reports nodes of a split chain in response to determining that a split chain exists.
