OneSpin HLS and formal verification

Linking high-level synthesis with formal verification

High-level synthesis provides a way to explore hardware architectures to come up with the most efficient implementation for a given situation. But it has taken time for verification techniques to catch up with the idea and ensure design and architecture match.
