  • Patent number: 11941335
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing concise data for analyzing checker completeness, in the context of formal verification analysis of circuit designs. The methods and systems concisely report information useful to a human user (e.g., circuit designer or verification engineer) for efficiently determining what manual action should be taken next to resolve holes in verification coverage. The reported information can include lists of signals on which checkers can be written, which lists can be ranked, can be limited to a subset of interest signals, and can include corresponding cover items for each reported interest signal. The present systems and methods thereby improve on reporting provided to the user, permitting the user to more quickly advance a formal verification process toward full coverage of the relevant portions of a circuit design.

  • Patent number: 11928410
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for optimizing compilation efforts for design debug based on formal analyses. The method includes accessing a circuit design, automatically determining a segment as being a design region of interest, identifying a behavior within the segment for performing at least one verification test, compiling the segment without compiling a remainder of the circuit design, and providing performance indicators corresponding to the behavior within the segment based on the segment as compiled.

  • Patent number: 10956640
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for electronic design verification. Embodiments may include receiving, using a processor, an electronic design and providing at least a portion of the electronic design to a machine learning engine. Embodiments may further include automatically determining, based upon, at least in part, an output of the machine learning engine whether or not the at least a portion of the electronic design is amenable to formal verification.
