Original Kurzfassung:
In the design phase, HDL simulation is the heart for functional and extra-functional verification. The HDL simulator produces a waveform for a simulation run. In case of a deviation from the expected behavior, the waveform has to be analyzed and understood. For this task, waveform viewers are utilized. However, they only allow for viewing signal relations visually which is a highly manual and tedious process. While advanced verification techniques have introduced automation and led to the generation of ?better? waveforms (e.g. by employing formal methods, reducing the length of waveforms, or minimizing the signals involved in a failing trace), there has been almost no progress for automating the analysis of waveforms.
