Subject: Is 37 days the world's longest Formality production run?

Hi John,

Do you have the data for longest run time for Formality run and what was its
final result?

Formality on my current design has been running for 9 days, out of that
last 8 days, Formality is trying to verify the remaining 1%.  Below log file
shows how many compare points are in the design:

Matching Results

   272213 Compare points matched previously

   0 Compare points matched by name

   0 Compare points matched by signature analysis

   0 Compare points matched by topology

   16086 Matched primary inputs, black-box outputs

   4(32424) Unmatched reference(implementation) compare points

   0(0) Unmatched reference(implementation) primary inputs,
        black-box outputs

   21850(100) Unmatched reference(implementation) unread points

Unmatched Objects     REF      IMPL

   Registers          4       32424
   DFF                4           0
   Clock-gate LAT     0       27902
   Constant 0         0          40
   Constant 1         0        4482

So far no aborts or failures.  I would like to see the data for the world's
longest run time for Formality from other users.

Hi again, John,

Some more updates on my Formality run.

Still running for 27 days!!

  0F/185A/271549P/479U (99%) 10/5/09 11:22 30627MB/2352925.63sec

Synopsys AE has filed a STAR for this case but I am still interested in more
data from other users.

Hi, Sanjay,

This is too funny!  I'll run it in the next ESNUG.  Keep me informed of any
changes, OK?

It had 366 aborts and 0 failures.  Does anyone else have a longer Formality
production run?
