Original Kurzfassung:
The currently most effective approach for verifying gate-level multipliers uses Computer Algebra. It reduces a wordlevel multiplier speci?cation by a Gr¨obner basis derived from a gate-level implementation. This reduction produces zero if and only if the circuit is a multiplier. We improve this approach by extracting full- and half-adder constraints to reduce the Gr¨obner basis, which speeds up computation substantially. Refactoring the speci?cation in terms of partial products instead of inputs yields further improvements. As a third contribution we extend these algebraic techniques to verify the equivalence of bit-level multipliers without using a word-level speci?cation.
