Abstract

With the expanding number of components provided on a single digital chip, verification of digital designs is becoming a major problem. The more circuits one places on a single chip, the greater the number of input/ouput combinations which need to be checked. A paper by Barrow in 1984 discusses a Prolog-based hierarchical formal verification system which he calls VERIFY. Barrow provides information on what VERIFY can and cannot do, and on projected enhancements. He does not, however, mention how VERIFY actually performs the task of formal verification. This thesis will provide a description of one possible implementation of the formal verification methodology described in VERIFY.
