Abstract
A method, computer program, and apparatus are described for finding the logical equivalence between register transfer level (RTL) wires and post synthesis nets in a netlist. In some example embodiments, the method includes minimizing nets in a netlist and matching each RTL wire to a netlist net. In some example embodiments, the method also includes determining if an RTL wire is logically equivalent to a netlist net. In some example embodiments, the method also includes determining a new candidate for a net if the RTL wire and associated netlist net are not logically equivalent.
