On the Generation of Functional Test Programs for the Cache Replacement Logic
Caches are crucial components in modern processors (both stand-alone or integrated into SoCs) and their test is a challenging task, especially when addressing complex and high-fre...

The semantics of x86-CC multiprocessor machine code
Multiprocessors are now dominant, but real multiprocessors do not provide the sequentially consistent memory that is assumed by most work on semantics and verification. Instead, t...

Constraint-Based Local Search for the Automatic Generation of Architectural Tests
Abstract. This paper considers the automatic generation of architectural tests (ATGP), a fundamental problem in processor validation. ATGPs are complex conditional constraint satis...

Analyzing the Intel Itanium Memory Ordering Rules Using Logic Programming and SAT
We present a non-operational approach to specifying and analyzing shared memory consistency models. The method uses higher order logic to capture a complete set of ordering constra...

A Framework for Incorporating Class Priors into Discriminative Classification
Abstract. Discriminative and generative methods provide two distinct approaches to machine learning classification. One advantage of generative approaches is that they naturally mo...
