Infineon: HLS Formal Verification Flow Using Siemens Formal Verification
High-Level Synthesis (HLS) is design flow in which design intent is described at a higher level of abstraction such as SystemC/C++/Matlab/etc. HLS tools are expected to synthesize this code to RTL which can be input to the traditional RTL downstream flow (RTL / GDS) RTL lint / formal check tools cannot be run on HLS RTL (as the errors cannot be correlated to HLS source code) Onespin systemC/C++ extension DV help to overcome this challenge. This session will be presented by Siemens on behalf of Infineon Technologies AG.
