Formal Verification of the AAMP 5 Microprocessor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the experiences of Collins Commercial Avionics and SRI International in formally specifying and verifying the microcode for the AAMP5 microprocessor with the PVS verification system. This project was conducted to determine if an industrial microprocessor designed for use in real–time embedded systems could be formally specified at the instruction set and register transfer levels and if formal proofs could be used to prove the microcode correct. The paper provides a brief technical overview, but its emphasis is on the lessons learned in using PVS for an example of this size and the implications for using formal methods in an industrial setting.

Formal Verification of a PowerPC Microprocessor
This paper presents the use of formal methods in the design of a PowerPC microprocessor. The chosen methodology employs two independently developed design views, a register-transfer level specification for efficient system simulation and a transistorlevel implementation geared toward maximal processor performance. A BDD-based verification tool is used to functionally compare the two views which...
متن کاملWeb Service Choreography Verification Using Z Formal Specification
Web Service Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) describes and orchestrates the services interactions among multiple participants. WS-CDL verification is essential since the interactions would lead to mismatches. Existing works verify the messages ordering, the flow of messages, and the expected results from collaborations. In this paper, we present a Z specification of WS-CDL. Besides ve...
متن کاملA short introduction to two approaches in formal verification of security protocols: model checking and theorem proving
In this paper, we shortly review two formal approaches in verification of security protocols; model checking and theorem proving. Model checking is based on studying the behavior of protocols via generating all different behaviors of a protocol and checking whether the desired goals are satisfied in all instances or not. We investigate Scyther operational semantics as n example of this...
متن کاملFormal Verification of an Avionics Microprocessor
Formal specification combined with mechanical verification is a promising approach for achieving the extremely high levels of assurance required of safety-critical digital systems. However, many questions remain regarding their use in practice: Can these techniques scale up to industrial systems, where are they likely to be useful, and how should industry go about incorporating them into practi...
