Abstract

This paper is a progress report on an experimental system, the state delta verification system (SDVS), for verifying microcode correctness. The goal of this project is to solve some of the problems, both theoretical and engineering, obstructing the realization of a usable and applicable program for checking proofs of microcode correctness. The ideal result would be a system that could be naturally incorporated into the specification-implementation cycle of, for example, microcoded machine instruction sets.
