Extending the applicability of Teachability analysis t o large and real circuits is a k e y issue. In f a c t they are still limited for the following reasons: peak B D D size during image computation, B D D explosion for representing state sets a n d very high sequential depth. Following the promising trend o f partitioning and problem d ecomposition, we present a new approach based on a disjunctive partitioned transition relation and on a n improved iterative squaring. In this approach a Finite State Machine is decomposed and traversed one 'ifunctioning-mode" at a tame b y means of the "disjunc-live" partitioned approach. The overall algorithm aims at lowering the intermediate peak BDD size pushing further Teachability analysis. Experiments on a few industrial circuits containing counters and on s o m e large benchmarks show the feasibility of the approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
