Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) There are several verifiers available that check the equivalence of high-level designs. In those tools, the equivalence to be checked is specified with the latency and throughput of the given designs. However, specifying them is not easy since it requires the users to have the detailed knowledge of the design and the equivalence specification method. In this work, we propose a method to infer the latency and throughput of a given high-level design. In the proposed method, using the results of random simulation, possbile latencies and throughputs are provided. In addition, to reduce the number of possible latencies and throughputs, we introduce a tag-simulation method where all possible latencies in the given design are statically derived. Through the experiments on example designs, we show that the proposed method is able to show correct latencies and throughputs.
