Model Checking Verilog Descriptions of Cell Libraries
We present a formal semantics for a subset of Verilog, commonly used to describe cell libraries, in terms of transition systems. Such transition systems can serve as input to symb...

An executable formal semantics of C with applications
This paper describes an executable formal semantics of C. Being executable, the semantics has been thoroughly tested against the GCC torture test suite and successfully passes 99....

So Many States, So Little Time: Verifying Memory Coherence in the Cray X1
This paper investigates a complexity-effective technique for verifying a highly distributed directory-based cache coherence protocol. We develop a novel approach called “witnes...

Design with race-free hardware semantics
Most hardware description languages do not enforce determinacy, meaning that they may yield races. Race conditions pose a problem for the implementation, verification, and validat...

A program differencing algorithm for verilog HDL
During code review tasks, comparing two versions of a hardware design description using existing program differencing tools such as diff is inherently limited because existing p...
