  • Progressive Automated Formal Verification of Memory Consistency in Parallel Processors
    Progressive Automated Formal Verification of Memory Consistency in Parallel Processors Yatin Avdhut Manerkar A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Recommended for Acceptance by the Department of Computer Science Adviser: Professor Margaret Martonosi January 2021 © Copyright by Yatin Avdhut Manerkar, 2020. All rights reserved. Abstract In recent years, single-threaded hardware performance has stagnated due to transistor- level limitations stemming from the end of Moore's Law and Dennard scaling. Instead, today's designs improve performance through heterogeneous parallelism: the use of multiple distinct processing elements on a chip, many of which are specialised to run specific workloads. The processing elements in such architectures often communicate and synchronise with each other via loads and stores to shared memory. Memory consistency models (MCMs) specify the ordering rules for such loads and stores. MCM verification is thus critical to parallel system correctness, but is notoriously hard to conduct and requires examining a vast number of scenarios. Verification using formal methods can provide strong correctness guarantees based on mathematical proofs, and is an excellent fit for MCM verification. This dissertation makes several contributions to automated formal hardware MCM verification, bringing such techniques much closer to being able to handle real-world architectures. Firstly, my RTLCheck work enables the automatic linkage of formal models of design orderings to RTL processor implementations. This linkage helps push the correctness guarantees of design-time formal verification down to taped-out chips. The linkage doubles as a method for verifying microarchitectural model soundness against RTL. Secondly, my RealityCheck work enables scalable automated formal MCM verification of hardware designs by leveraging their structural modularity.
