| Abstract | Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. In this paper, we present a new technique for mining temporal specifications from simulation or execution traces of a digital hardware design. Given an execution trace, we mine recurring temporal behaviors in the trace that match a set of pattern templates. Subsequently, we synthesize them into complex patterns by merging events in time and chaining the patterns using inference rules. We specifically designed our algorithm to make it highly efficient and meaningful for digital circuits. In addition, we propose a pattern-mining diagnosis framework where specifications mined from correct and erroneous traces are used to automatically localize an error. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on industrial-size examples by mining specifications from traces of over a million cycles in a few minutes and use them to successfully localize errors of different types to within module boundaries. |

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.
