ABSTRACT:
A system for verifying design of a digital system. A digital system, which receives input vectors and produces output vectors, is simulated. The invention generates a sequence of synthesized input vectors, and applies them to the simulated system. These input vectors cause changes in internal variables, and the output vectors. The invention also independently computes the values which internal variables and output vectors are expected to assume. The invention then compares the simulated internal and output variables with the computed values. If they agree, the simulation is assumed to function properly.
