Abstract
Several mechanical theorem provers and many mechanized decision procedures are in routine
use in the computing industry. The complexity of computer chip designs allow design flaws to slip past
unaided human reasoning of even the most
talented designers.
Bugs in fabricated
chips can cost hundreds of millions of
dollars to fix. So microprocessor companies use
mechanized theorem proving to prove that critical parts of designs implement the specified
functionality. In this talk I will explain how one theorem
prover is used in several companies,
including Intel, AMD , Centaur, ARM ,
Oracle, and Rockwell Collins.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
