The Formal Verification
Research Group at the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute
of Technology Kharagpur has more than ten years of experience in the development of formal
and semi-formal validation technology. The group engages in fundamental research
to solve emerging challenges in design validation and provides solutions to industrially
relevant validation problems.

Recent Achievements:
Incorporating
formal methods to enhance the speed of logic evaluation in Verilog Cycle
Simulators
Development
of tools and technology for formal property verification in modules under
specified
environment models. We have implemented model checkers that check both untimed as well as
real time properties on open systems (modules).
Development
of temporal logics for efficient verification of timing properties. We
have shown that
reasoning about extremal (best case/ worst case) timing properties is
tractable in practice, where as,
it is known that model checking timed logics are PSPACE complete or harder
in general.
Development
of a validation platform for high level SOC designs specified in SDL augmented
with System C.
Development
of Open Vera Assertion (OVA) checkers for standard BUS protocols
Reasoning
about the coverage of architectural level correctness properties by RTL
correctness properties.
