Abstract
A computer-based method and program for improving a design of a circuit through analysis of a computer stored model of the circuit. Individual synchronization points are identified in the circuit at each of which a signal may be blocked or allowed to pass in response to appearance of a second signal at the synchronization point. The timing of the circuit is verified based on the individual synchronization points.
