We propose an object-oriented approach for the formal verification of processors. This approach has been validated on significant applications. It is based on a class hierarchy that provides the basic components to describe processors at any abstraction level, and to specify verifications to execute.The originality of our method is to combine an object-oriented model (to ensure genericity) and a computer algebra verification system (to ensure efficiency). Computer experiments with our framework clearly shown three main advantages: processor descriptions are very easy to write down, the core of the verification system is generic so it may be applied without any modification to different processors, and last, the proof times are very short compared with previous approaches.
