Experience with embedding hardware description languages in HOL

by Richard Boulton, Andrew Gordon, Mike Gordon, John Harrison, John Herbert, John Van Tassel - Theorem Provers in Circuit Design , 1992
"... Abstract The semantics of hardware description languages can be represented in higher order logic. This provides a formal definition that is suitable for machine processing. Experiments are in progress at Cambridge to see whether this method can be the basis of practical tools based on the HOL theor ..."

It enables a user to prepare, analyze, and debug diagram- matic, yet precise, descriptions of the system under development from

Protocol Verification as a Hardware Design Aid

by David L. Dill , Andreas J. Drexler, Alan J. Hu, C. Han Yang - IN IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER DESIGN: VLSI IN COMPUTERS AND PROCESSORS , 1992
"... The role of automatic formal protocol verification in hardware design is considered. Principles are identified that maximize the benefits of protocol verification while minimizing the labor and computation required. A new protocol description language and verifier (both called Mur') are descri ..."

On the Embedding of the MDG Specification Languages in HOL

by Rabeb Mizouni
"... In this paper, we propose an embedding of the MDG input languages in HOL. The MDG (Multiway Decision Graph) system is a tool for equivalence and model checking. It is based on multiway decision graphs that extend Reduced-Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams with abstract sorts and uninterpreted function ..."

functions, prime feature of the MDG. The HOL system is a higher-order logic theorem prover. It has an open user-extensible architecture, giving the possibility of adding expressiveness power to the theorem prover by embedding new theories. We have embedded in HOL the grammar of the MDG hardware description

An Embedded Language Framework for Hardware Compilation

by Koen Claessen, Gordon Pace - DESIGNING CORRECT CIRCUITS , 2002
"... Various languages have been proposed to describe synchronous hardware at an abstract, yet synthesisable level. We propose a uniform framework within which such languages can be developed, and combined together for simulation, synthesis, and verification. We do this by embedding the languages in Lava ..."
