A trustworthy monadic formalization of the armv7 instruction set architecture

by Anthony Fox, Magnus O. Myreen - In Proc. 23rd Int. Conf˙on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP’10), LNCS , 2010
"... Abstract. This paper presents a new HOL4 formalization of the current ARM instruction set architecture, ARMv7. This is a modern RISC architecture with many advanced features. The formalization is detailed and extensive. Considerable tool support has been developed, with the goal of making the model ..."

Trustworthy programming for multiple instruction sets

by Principal Investigator Mike Gordon
"... The proposed research builds upon previous work at Cambridge on the formal verification of ARM processor hardware and assembly level software. We will use formal models of the ARM4T instruction set architecture (ISA) resulting from the completed EPSRC project Formal Specification and Verification of ..."

Directions in ISA Specification

by Anthony Fox
"... Abstract. This rough diamond presents a new domain-specific language (DSL) for producing detailed models of Instruction Set Architectures, such as ARM and x86. The language’s design and methodology is discussed and we propose future plans for this work. Feedback is sought from the wider theorem prov ..."

proving community in helping establish future directions for this project. A parser and interpreter for the DSL has been developed in Standard ML, with an ARMv7 model used as a case study. This paper describes recent work on developing a domain-specific language (DSL) for Instruction Set Architecture (ISA

"... Effective support for custom proof automation is essential for large-scale interactive proof develop-ment. However, existing languages for automation via tactics either (a) provide no way to specify the behavior of tactics within the base logic of the accompanying theorem prover, or (b) rely on adva ..."

on advanced type-theoretic machinery that is not easily integrated into established theorem provers. We present Mtac, a lightweight but powerful extension to Coq that supports dependently typed tactic programming. Mtac tactics have access to all the features of ordinary Coq programming, as well as a new set
