Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method of invariant-guided abstraction includes a processor of a computing device generating one or more invariants corresponding to a design under verification by executing a proof algorithm with an input comprising at least a portion of the design and a specified resource limit. The method further includes deterministically assigning priority information to the one or more invariants generated and to components of the design referenced by said invariants. Finally, the method includes performing invariant-guided localization abstraction on the design model to generate an abstracted design model utilizing the assigned priority information as a localization hint that results in abstractions that are at least one of (a) smaller abstractions and (b) easier to verify abstractions.
