Reachability Analysis Kuang-Jung Chang Advisor : Chun-Yao Wang Date: 2008.07.29
Outline • Introduction • BDD partitioning
Reachability Analysis • Given: • A sequential circuit • An initial state set • Objective: • The reachable state set from the initial state set Finite State Machine Finite State Machine Finite State Machine R0 R1 R2 R3 Fixed point
Sequential Circuit • A set of primary inputs (PI): w0~wm • A set of outputs (PO): O0~Ol • A set of flip-flops: ff0~ffn • Pseudo primary input (PPI): x0~xn • Pseudo primary output (PPO): y0~yn • Output function: • A completely specified function with domain (X W) and range O • Transition relation: • A completely specified function with domain (X W) and range Y Combinational part of a circuit W O X Y Flip-flops
Sequential Equivalence Checking • The product machine (sequential miter) of circuit A and circuit B Combinational part of circuit A W ZA W XA YA Flip-flops A Combinational part of circuit B ZB XB YB Flip-flops B
Why Reachability Analysis • State minimization • Logic optimization • Sequential ATPG • Property checking State space Unused state Don’t care Undetected error Fake bug
Difficulties of Reachability Analysis • Huge state space • The large number of flip-flops in a sequential circuit • Complicated Finite State Machine • 2|flip-flop| 2|PI|
Symbolic Image Computation • The characteristic function of PPO yi and latch transition relation TRi • The transition relation TR is the conjunction of the latch transition relations • Fi(X, W) → { 0, 1 } • TRi (yi, X, W) • = yi Xnor Fi(X, W) • TR(Y, X, W) • = TRi(yi, X, W) yi Fi’ Fi TR( Y, X, W) Fi(X, W) 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
Symbolic Image Computation • Representation of state set S • Flip-flop BDD variables: l0~ln • The characteristic representation • S(L) = 1 iff L state set S l0 l1 l1 l2 l2 l2 l2 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0
Symbolic Image Computation • Basic symbolic image computation • Nex(Y) = X, WTR(Y, X, W) Pre(X) Quantification X, W BDD AND TR( Y, X, W) Pre(X) Nex(Y) 0 1 0 1 0 1
Binary Decision Diagram • Free BDD (FBDD) : variables can appear only once in a given path from the source to the terminal • Ordered BDD : an FBDD with the additional restriction that variables follow a common ordering in all paths • Reduced OBDD : no two nodes in an OBDD represent the same function
Size of BDD • The size of an ROBDD is strongly dependent on its ordering of variables • 1. Reordering • 2. ROBDD => FBDD • 3. Change the function decomposition associated with the nodes • Functional Decision Diagrams (FDDs)
Synchronous circuit • v0’ = ﹁ v0 • v1’ = v0 ⊕ v1 • v2’ = (v0 Λ v1) ⊕ v2 • TR0 = (v0’ ﹁ v0) • TR1 = (v1’ v0 ⊕ v1) • TR2 = (v2’ (v0 Λ v1)⊕ v2) • TR = TR0 Λ TR1 Λ TR2
Asynchronous circuit • Synchronous : TR = TR0 Λ TR1 Λ TR2 • Conjunctive partition • Asynchronous : TR = TR0 ν TR1 ν TR2 • Disjunctive partition
Partition transition relation • Nex(Y) = X, WTR(Y, X, W) Pre(X) • Conjunctive : TR = TR0 Λ TR1 Λ TR2 • Nex = TR0 Λ TR1 Λ TR2 Λ Pre • Disjunctive : TR = TR0 ν TR1 ν TR2 • Nex = (TR0 ν TR1 ν TR2) Λ Pre = (TR0 Λ Pre)ν (TR1 Λ Pre)ν (TR2 Λ Pre) = Nex0 + Nex1 +Nex2
Why disjunctive partition • The monolithic TR is difficult or even impossible to obtain • TR0 ^ TR1 ^ TR2 : existential quantification and logical conjunction cannot distribute
