Abstract
A method of checking correctness of scheduling of a circuit where a schedule for the circuit is obtained from a behavioral description. The method comprising extracting loop invariants to determine a sufficient set of acyclic threads when loops are present, performing symbolic simulation to extract the above loop invariants, and proving equivalence of the acyclic threads. Systems, computer systems and computer program products that incorporate the techniques of verification and correctness checking according to the present invention have also been disclosed.
