Abstract:
ion Mechanisms for Hardware Verification Thomas F. Melham University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory New Museums Site, Pembroke Street Cambridge, CB2 3QG, England Abstract: It is argued that techniques for proving the correctness of hardware designs must use abstraction mechanisms for relating formal descriptions at different levels of detail. Four such abstraction mechanisms and their formalization in higher order logic are discussed. Introduction Recent advances in microelectronics have given designers of digital hardware the potential to build electronic devices of unprecedented size and complexity. With increasing size and complexity, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to ensure that such systems will not malfunction because of design errors. This problem has prompted some researchers to look for a firm theoretical basis for correct design of hardware systems. Mathematical methods have been developed to model the functional behaviour of electronic devices and to verify,...
