Improve design efficiency and reduce costs with this practical guide to formal and
simulation-based functional verification. Giving you a theoretical and practical
understanding of the key issues involved, expert authors explain both formal
techniques (model checking and equivalence checking) and simulation-based
techniques (coverage metrics and test generation). You get insights into practical
issues including hardware verification languages (HVLs) and system-level debugging.
The foundations of formal and simulation-based techniques are covered too, as are
more recent research advances including transaction-level modeling and assertionbased
verification, plus the theoretical underpinnings of verification, including the use
of decision diagrams and Boolean satisfiability (SAT).
