ConclusionsIntroducing RTL Scalability• Combined implementation and verification strategy needed• Learning curve• Robust design• Tool, training, and methodology advancements needed• Appropriate timing of formal analysis application isnecessary• Proceed with cautionScalable RTL in Design and Verification 9/17/2007 Page 23
