Bit-Blasting ACL2 Theorems

Interactive theorem proving requires a lot of human guidance. Proving a property involves (1) figuring out why it holds, then (2) coaxing the theorem prover into believing it. Both steps can take a long time. We explain how to use GL, a framework for proving finite ACL2 theorems with BDDor SAT-based reasoning. This approach makes it unnecessary to deeply understand why a property is true, and a...

Blasting Linux Code

Computer programs can only run reliably if the underlying operating system is free of errors. In this paper we evaluate, from a practitioner’s point of view, the utility of the popular software model checker Blast for revealing errors in Linux kernel code. The emphasis is on important errors related to memory safety in and locking behaviour of device drivers. Our conducted case studies show tha...

BLASTing proteomes, yielding phylogenies

We develop a procedure called RiPE (Retrieval-induced Phylogeny Environment) that automatically performs an evolutionary analysis of a protein (sub)family, (i) by retrieving the relevant sequences via a homology search, (ii) by using the search report to construct the alignment using only homologous subsequences (taking into account their neighborhood with a low chance of homology), (iii) by re...
