The abstract ; algorithm uses an unlimited number of systolic comparator modules to ; sort a stream of data. In addition to proving that the algorithm ; produces an ordered permutation of its input, we prove two theorems ; that are important to verifying the microcode implementation. These ; theorems describe how positive and negative ``infinities'' can be ; streamed into the array of comparators to achieve certain effects. ; Interesting generalizations are necessary in order to prove these ; theorems inductively. The mechanical proofs were carried out with ; the ACL2 theorem prover. We find these proofs both mathematically ; interesting and illustrative of the kind of mathematics that must be ; done to verify software. ; This file is divided into six ``chapters'' by comments to that effect. ; See the above paper for a tour through this file. ; The basis for this work was done at Computational Logic, Inc. under ; a contract to model the Motorola CAP Digitial Signal Processor. The ; original version of this script was distributed as the ACL2 book ; v2-3/books/cli-misc/comparator-sort.lisp, which was copyrighted by ; Computational Logic, Inc., 1997. The present script was developed ; as a simplified version of that one.
