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