Abstract

This paper presents a formal synthesis system which delegates the design space exploration to non-formal, and perhaps incorrect, high level synthesis tools. With a quadratic complexity, our system obtains either a truly correct-by-construction design, since the formal design process constitutes itself the verification process, or demonstrates that the solution found by the conventional tool was incorrect.
