Abstract
An improved approach is provided to implement equivalency checking. A check is performed as to whether two designs are equivalent without needing to analyze their outputs on a cycle-by-cycle basis. Instead, the two designs are checked to see if they are equivalent on the transaction-level. This approach abstracts the timing delays between the two designs, which allows verification of data transportation and transformation between the designs.
