Subject: TPCD94 - HW Verification Benchmarks
Message-Id: <"iraun1.ira.462:26.07.93.09.07.46"@ira.uka.de>

As I mentioned already at the HOL workshop in Vancouver
we are still looking for interesting hardware verification examples
usable as benchmark circuits for TPCD94 (Conf. on Theorem Provers
in Circuit Design).

The collection of the benchmark examples is done in loose cooperation
with IFIP WG 10.2 and parts of these circuits are to be defined as 
"the official IFIP verification benchmarks" for future use.

To get a high degree of diversity and to be able to include 
challenges from real world (e.g. verification problems from industry,
which are not well or even not yet verifiable with state-of-the-art approaches)
we are strongly dependent on your suggestions.
 
To keep the examples in a reasonable size, we are especially looking
for small but tricky (instead of large and dumb) circuits.

It would be great if you could support us by contributing one of
the circuits, which you found hard or even impossible to verify :-)

Naturally, everyone is given credit for his/her example submission in
the final benchmark documentation.

Thanks for any suggestions/circuits sent to me!
