Using correctness results to verify behavioral properties of microprocessors

An alternative method is given for verifying behavioral properties of computer systems using a correctness result. It is shown that the correctness result can be useful in establishing these properties by proving two important properties for a microprocessor called AVM-1. The author briefly describes the general techniques used in verifying a microprocessor. An informal description of architecture and organization of AVM-1 is presented next. He discusses parts of the formal specification and verification of AVM-1. It is shown how they can be used to prove two properties regarding the integrity of the supervisory mode in AVM-1.<<ETX>>
