“SystemC has some significant advantages in terms of staying closer to the higher level of concepts than RTL,” says Knoth. “You need to stay close to the people who are doing the algorithm design, so they have the freedom and flexibility to experiment and to explore their ideas. That’...
When that is done, logic synthesis is applied to transform the RTL to gates, and the resulting system model is verified using either simulation or formal equivalence methods. It is important to note that a gate level simulation uses the same test bench as the RTL simulation. In a system ...
(3) The equivalence between C and synthesized RTL models was difficult to prove “formally”. RTL synthesis adoption accelerated in tandem with the use of (combinational) logic cone equivalency checking (LEC) tools, using the correspondence mapping between RTL and gate-level state points – there ...

A concolic approach, called slec-cf, to find counterexamples (CEXs) to sequential equivalence between a high-level (e.g., SystemC) hardware description and an RTL (e.g., Verilog) is presented. slec-cf works by searching for CEXs over the possible values of a set of “control signals”...
If we want to compare logic levels without taking account of drive strength, we should use the matching operators “?=” and “?/=”. These operators perform logical equivalence and unequivalence comparisons, respectively. If both operands are ‘0’, ‘1’, ‘L’, or ‘H’, the ...
The C nodes must contain the configurations required to recreate the D-node and Q-node equivalence in the reconfigurable structure. This process is straightforward, because the D node contains the necessary information about execution type that can be mapped to one or more coarse-grained elements,...

FSMDs are widely used in high-level synthesis: in the equivalence test method based on value propagation [11], for checking the correctness of translation of C/C++ descriptions into a register transfers level (RTL) [12], to solve the problem of global elimination of common subexpressions [13...
