Abstract : In many verification techniques fast functional evaluation of a Boolean network is needed. We investigate the idea of using Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) for functional simulation. The area-time trade-off that results from different minimization techniques of the BDD is discussed. We propose new minimization methods based on dynamic reordering that allow smaller representations with (nearly) no runtime penalty. 1,
