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.
