Abstract(in English) In designing system LSI or System-om-a-Chip (SoC), it is essential to find and correct design errors as early design stages as possible. In this paper, we refine the system dependence graph of SpecC, which is a C-based system-level description language, by introducing two kinds of dependence edges related to concurrency. Then, we propose a design checker which can statically detect deadlocks and race conditions as design errors by analyzing dependences on the extended system dependence graph. The preliminary experimental results show that our method can detect design errors that cannot be detected by the previous method.
