We present GOLDMINE, a methodology for generating assertions automatically. Our method
involves a combination of data mining and static analysis of the Register Transfer Level
(RTL) design. We present results of using GoldMine for assertion generation of the RTL of a
1000-core processor design that is still in an evolving stage. Our results show that GoldMine
can generate complex, high coverage assertions in RTL, thereby minimizing human effort in
this process.
