ABSTRACT:
The present invention uses the strength of modern hierarchical integrated circuit design to speed up the comparison of two netlists. Instead of working from bottom-up it can proceed with arbitrary hierarchical order to do the comparison. This has the advantage that the subcircuits that are most interesting can be verified first and avoids the long wait to go through the hierarchy.
