| Abstract | The use of formal methods in hardware design improves the quality of designs in many ways: it promotes better understanding of the design; it permits systematic design refinement through the discovery of invariants; and it allows design verification (informal or formal). In this paper we illustrate the use of formal methods in the design of a custom hardware system called the “Rollback Chip” (RBC), conducted using a simple hardware design description language called “HOP”. An informal specification of the requirements of the RBC is first given, followed by a behavioral description of the RBC stating its desired behavior. The behavioral description is refined into progressively more efficient designs, terminating in a structural description. Key refinement steps are based on system invariants that are discovered during the design, and proved correct during design verification. The first step in design verification is to apply a program called PARCOMP to $\textit{derive}$ a behavioral description from the structural description of the RBC. The derived behavior is then compared against the desired behavior using equational verification techniques. This work demonstrates that formal methods can be fruitfully applied to a nontrivial hardware design. It also illustrates the particular advantages of our approach based on HOP and PARCOMP. Last, but not the least, it formally verifies the RBC mechanism itself. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
