Concurrent, object-oriented programs often use thread-safe library classes. Existing techniques for testing a thread-safe class either rely on tests using the class, on formal spe...
This paper argues for an implicitly parallel programming model for many-core microprocessors, and provides initial technical approaches towards this goal. In an implicitly paralle...

The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
Microprocessor technology is increasingly used for many applications; the large market volumes call for cost containment in the production phase. Process yield for processor produ...
Interrupt behaviors, especially the external ones, are difficult to verify in a microprocessor design project in that they involve both interacting hardware and software. This pap...
