FMCAD paper reports SMT-based formal verification of SystemVerilog RNM

TU Wien's repository made available Augusto Mafra and Haniel Barbosa's FMCAD paper on formal verification of SystemVerilog RNM by extending Yosys and Pono. The study uses 31 benchmarks: 17 public GPL-3.0 benchmarks and 14 built from proprietary Cadence models/testbenches. It compares real-arithmetic and IEEE floating-point SMT interpretations, whose semantics can produce different verification results. The v2.0.5 public implementation provides benchmarks, results and fixed revisions of Yosys, Pono and smt-switch. This is a research flow, not a claimed Jasper product feature; September 2 dates the paper's repository availability.
