Verification Of Integrated Subsystems

Abstract

based on an AMD chip. e An interrupt controller based on the Intel 8259A controller chip. Our main emphasis is on the verification of “real” systems. It is hoped that the outcome of this work will be a convincing demonstration of the feasibility of applying verification to a large class of practical systems. In addition, through the examples being verified, we are confronting problems in applying mechanical verification methods to large systems that are suggestive e A DMA controller, based on the Intel 8237A. e A floating point co-processor whose specification is the IEEE floating standard, based on Motorola MC68881. e A memory management unit based on a Motorola design.
