Title
Verification of All Circuits in a Floating-Point Unit Using Word-Level Model Checking
Abstract
This paper presents the formal verification of all sub-circuits in afloating-point arithmetic unit (FPU) from an Intel microprocessor using a wordlevelmodel checker. This work represents the first large-scale application ofword-level model checking techniques. The FPU can perform addition, subtraction,multiplication, square root, division, remainder, and rounding operations;verifying such a broad range of functionality required coupling the model checkerwith a number of other techniques,...
