Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The typical problems which arise in the formal verification of practical circuits are that the verification often needs long CPU times and huge amount of memory. In particular, for the verifiers of real-time systems the limitation on memory sizes tends to be the bottleneck, because those verifiers usually use the explicit state representations. In this work, we focus on reducing the memory use in the verification method of bounded asynchronous circuits, and propose techniques for sharing, compressing, and thinning out the visited state information. The experimental results with STARI circuits show that combining those techniques is effective, and reduces the memory use to 1/5.
