This $593,412 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program supports the development of a formal verification framework, called QED, to verify the memory consistency behavior of modern, out-of-order processor designs with cache hierarchies. The project aims to address the challenge of comprehensively verifying memory consistency, a critical correctness requirement for high-performance, shared-memory multiprocessor systems. Key innovations include a divide-and-conquer approach, techniques to reduce the verification burden, and methods to automatically check specific implementation predicates. The research is expected to have significant impacts on the computer hardware industry by tackling an important grand challenge problem in memory consistency verification. The project period runs from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2027, with the award made to Purdue University, a research institution based in West Lafayette, Indiana. No subawards are planned under this grant.
