Another industrial application of ACL2 involved the formal modeling of the Motorola CAP digital signal processor. Using ACL2, Bishop Brock

  • produced a bit- and cycle-accurate model of the CAP that runs faster than a conventional SPW model,
  • proved the correctness of a predicate for recognizing pipeline hazards in microcode and
  • proved the correctness of several CAP microcode programs.
