A state-transition system is extracted from a high-level description of a design. Assumptions regarding states of the design are determined for an initial clock cycle. Linear arithmetic relations are introduced to these assumptions. Guarantees are determine that provide properties of the design that hold after a fixed number of clock cycles. Symbolic simulation is performed for a limited number of clock cycles on the state transition system of the design. If the guarantees hold once simulation is performed, the design is verified. Otherwise, counter-examples are generated. |
