Abstract: Disclosed herein are representative embodiments of methods, apparatus, and systems for performing formal verification of circuit descriptions. In certain example embodiments, the disclosed technology involves the formal verification of a register-transfer-level (“RTL”) circuit description produced from a high level synthesis tool (e.g., a C++ or SystemC synthesis tool) relative to the original high level code from which the RTL description was synthesized (e.g., the original C++ or SystemC description) using sub-functional-call-level transactions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for verifying a concurrent logical design and a corresponding non-sequential algorithmic description are provided. In some implementations, verification of a non-sequential algorithmic description for a device design is facilitated by monitoring a simulation of the non-sequential algorithmic description and synchronizing the timing of selected events with timing from an already completed simulation of a corresponding logical design. With various implementations, the hierarchical blocks in the logical design are monitored during the prior simulation to record selected event information. Subsequently, the recorded event information may be used to synchronize the simulation of the non-sequential algorithmic description.
