Automatic formal verification of multithreaded pipelined microprocessors
ICCAD '11: Proceedings of the International Conference on Computer-Aided Design

We present highly automatic techniques for formal verification of pipelined microprocessors with hardware support for multithreading. The processors are modeled at a high level of abstraction, using a subset of Verilog, in a way that allows us to ...
Systematic verification of pipelined microprocessors
Formal Verification of Pipelined Microprocessors with Delayed Branches
ISQED '06: Proceedings of the 7th International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design

Presented is an approach for formal verification of pipelined microprocessors with delayed branches, i.e., branch instructions whose immediately following instruction is always executed regardless of whether the branch is taken. Delayed branches are ...
