trace file uses → 100% 4e

refdif uses trace files from both simulators to compare execution results.

The paper introduces refdif as an architectural comparator tool.

trace file ← compares with 97% 2e

refdif compares architectural and RTL traces to identify design flaws.

RTL model ← compares with 95% 2e

refdif compares RTL and architectural traces to detect implementation flaws.

Profiler ← compares with 80% 1e

Profiler is used in conjunction with refdif; analysis occurs when RTL and architectural traces match under refdif.
