Abstract

In this research a refined interface between high-level design languages and hardware verification platforms is developed. Our interface methodology is demonstrated through the integration of a communication system design, written in C and SystemC, with a multi-FPGA logic emulator from Ikos Systems. We show that as designs are refined from a high-level to a gate-level representation, our methodology improves verification performance while maintaining verification fidelity across a range of abstraction levels.
