Abstract: Scalable shared-memory multiprocessors provide a flexible programming model with good performance scaling. These features, however, come at the expense of additional hardware complexity to provide a consistent view of the memory hierarchy. Verifying this aspect of a multiprocessor system is nontrivial, often requiring far more time than the actual implementation. We investigate the various approaches for verifying coherent memory systems in large-scale multiprocessors. In the process, we define ... (Update)
