摘要:The illustrative embodiments provide a mechanism for abstraction for arrays inintegrated circuit designs. The mechanism constructs abstract models directly from ananalysis of the system. The abstract models are both sound and complete for safety
properties: a safety property holds in the abstract model if and only if the propertyholds in the original model. The mechanism of the illustrative embodiments eliminatesthe need for iterative abstraction refinement. The mechanism of the illustrativeembodiments can find small models that verify a system in some cases where otherapproaches are unable to find a small model. The approach constructs an abstract designfrom the original design. The abstracted design may have smaller arrays than the originaldesign. The mechanism checks the correctness of the abstracted design by modelchecking.
