Abstract
A computer system for estimating timing convergence using assertion comparisons. The computer system receives predefined golden assertions associated with a macro to be tested. The computer system executes the macro to obtain current feedback assertion values. The computer system calculates one or more metrics based on a comparison between the current feedback assertion values and values of one or more different sets of assertions. The computer system estimates a time to convergence based on the one or more calculated metrics. The computer system generates a schedule based on the estimated time to convergence.
