Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A verification item extraction apparatus is disclosed that performs a priority determination process. Connection relationships pertinent to input/output are derived for each of logics in a verification subject circuit based on connection information acquired from description data in a storage part. A first priority for verifying the logics is determined based on the connection relationships being derived. Related I/Fs, which are related to inputs to the logics and are interfaces to an outside of the verification subject circuit, are extracted based on the connection information. Second priority for verifying the related I/Fs is determined based on the first priority.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A logical verification apparatus, comprising: a processor; and a storage part configured to store description data which describe an operation of a verification subject circuit, a display part configured to display a result from verifying the verification subject circuit by using a logical simulation by the processor, wherein the processor performs a logical verification process including: deriving connection relationships pertinent to an input/output…
