This paper presents a simulation-based methodology for extracting a simplified view of design functionality from a given module. Such a simplified design view can be used to facilitate test pattern justification from the outputs of the module to the inputs of the module. In this work, we formulate this type of design simplification as a learning problem. By developing a scheme for learning word-level functions, we point out that the core of the problem is to develop an efficient Boolean learner. We discuss the implementation of such a Boolean learner and compare its performance with the one of best-known learning algorithms, the Fourier analysis based method. Experimental results are presented to illustrate the implementation of the simulation-based methodology and its usage for extracting a simplified view of Open RISC 1200 datapath.
