8 | Please read the documentation for the command comb_verify before |
---|
9 | reading on. The concepts of roots and leaves in this command are the |
---|
10 | same as for comb_verify, except for an added constraint: the set of |
---|
11 | leaves has to be the set of all primary inputs. This obviously |
---|
12 | produces the constraint that both networks have the same number of |
---|
13 | primary inputs. Moreover, no pseudo inputs should be present in the |
---|
14 | two networks being compared. The set of roots can be an arbitrary |
---|
15 | subset of nodes. |
---|
16 | |
---|
17 | The command verifies whether any state, where the values of two |
---|
18 | corresponding roots differ, can be reached from the set of initial |
---|
19 | states of the product machine. If this happens, a debug trace is |
---|
20 | provided. |
---|
21 | |
---|
22 | The sequential verification is done by building the product finite |
---|
23 | state machine. |
---|
24 | |
---|
25 | The command has two execution modes, just as for comb_verify. In the |
---|
26 | first mode, two BLIF-MV files are given as arguments to the command: |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | vis> seq_verify foo.mv bar.mv |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | |
---|
31 | In the second mode, a single BLIF-MV file is taken. This is network2. |
---|
32 | It is assumed that network1 is from a hierarchy that has already been |
---|
33 | read in. If a network is present at the current node (i.e. |
---|
34 | flatten_hierarchy has been executed), it is used for verification; |
---|
35 | otherwise the command does nothing. |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | vis> read_blifmv foo.mv |
---|
38 | vis> flatten_hierarchy |
---|
39 | vis> seq_verify bar.mv |
---|
40 | |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | Command options: |
---|
43 | |
---|
44 | -b |
---|
45 | Specifies that the input files are BLIF files. |
---|
46 | |
---|
47 | -f <filename> |
---|
48 | Provides the correspondence between the leaves and roots of |
---|
49 | network1 and network2. leaves has to be the set of primary |
---|
50 | inputs of the networks. roots can be any subset of nodes. If |
---|
51 | this option is not used, it is assumed that the correspondence |
---|
52 | is by name, and that the roots are the combinational outputs. |
---|
53 | |
---|
54 | -h |
---|
55 | Print the command usage. |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | -p <partition method> |
---|
58 | Specifies the partitioning method for the product machine. |
---|
59 | Supported methods are "total", "partial", and "inout" (see the |
---|
60 | command build_partition_mdds for more information). If this |
---|
61 | option is not specified, then the default method "inout" is |
---|
62 | used. |
---|
63 | |
---|
64 | -t <timeOut> |
---|
65 | Time in seconds allowed to perform equivalence checking. The |
---|
66 | default is infinity. |
---|
67 | |
---|
68 | -B |
---|
69 | Use backward image computation to traverse the state space of |
---|
70 | the product machine. By default, forward image computaion is |
---|
71 | used. |
---|
72 | |
---|
73 | -i |
---|
74 | Print BDD statistics. This is the only way to see BDD stastics |
---|
75 | during this command. print_bdd_stats after this command doesn't |
---|
76 | show information related to this command. |
---|
77 | |
---|
78 | -r |
---|
79 | Enable DBB reordering during the equivalence check. Note that |
---|
80 | dynamic_var_ordering has no effect on whether reordering is |
---|
81 | enabled during the execution of seq_verify. |
