textThe growing complexity of VLSI and System-on-a-chip(SoC) designs has made their verification extremely expensive, time-consuming and resource intensive. Formal verification of system behavior is critical to the design cycle due to its ability to isolate subtle flaws and provide high quality assurance. However, its computational intractability limits applicability in practice, rendering the state-of-the-art insufficient to meet the needs of the industry. In this dissertation, a suite of techniques that are a significant departure from traditional Boolean level approaches to formal verification are presented. The algorithms are based on a top-down, domain-aware perspective of the system by reasoning at the system level and register...
