Abstract:
A system and method use reactive initialization to facilitate formal verification of an electronic logic design. The system verifies that a part of the logic design correctly transitions through a sequence of states by automatically assigning an initial state value. The system interacts with a correction-unit to provide meaningful feedback of verification failures, making it possible for the correction-unit to correct the failures or add new constraints that allow the verification to complete. Assigning an initial state simplifies the verification of the validity of the remaining states in the sequence, thus making it more likely to reach a conclusive result and consuming less computing resources.
