Formal Verification of Out-of-Order Execution Using Incremental Flushing
We present a two-part approach for verifying out-of-order execution. First, the complexity of out-of-order issue and scheduling is handled by creating der abstraction of the out-of...

An ACL2 Proof of Write Invalidate Cache Coherence
As a pedagogical exercise in ACL2, we formalize and prove the correctness of a write invalidate cache scheme. In our formalization, an arbitrary number of processors, each with its...

Verification of an Implementation of Tomasulo's Algorithm by Compositional Model Checking
An implementation of an out-of-order processing unit based on Tomasulo's algorithm is formally verified using compositional model checking techniques. This demonstrates that f...

Decomposing the Proof of Correctness of pipelined Microprocessors
We present a systematic approach to decompose and incrementally build the proof of correctness of pipelined microprocessors. The central idea is to construct the abstraction funct...
