Verifying VIA Nano microprocessor components
Warren A. Hunt · 2010
We verify parts of the VIA Nano X86-compatible microprocessor design using the ACL2 theorem-proving system. We translate Nano RTL Verilog into the EMOD hardware description language. We specify properties of the Nano in the ACL2 logic and use a combination of theorem-proving and automated techniques to verify the correctness of Nano design elements.
