Specication of a Microprocessor
نویسنده
چکیده
The action system framework for modelling parallel programs is used to formally specify a microprocessor. First the microprocessor is specied as a sequential program. The sequential specication is then rened into a concurrent program using correctness-preserving program transformations. Previously a similar derivation was carried out informally within the CSP-framework at Caltech, where also a delay-insesitive, asynchronous circuit for the microprocessor was derived from the concurrent program. With this ongoing work we want to demonstrate the suitabil-ity of action systems and the stepwise renement paradigm for formal VLSI circuit design.

A Microprocessor-Based Hybrid Duplex Fault-Tolerant System
Reliability is one of the fundamental considerations in the design of industrial control equipment. The microprocessor-based Hybrid Duplex fault-tolerant System (HDS) proposed in this paper has high reliability to meet this demand although its hardware structure is simple. The hardware configuration of HDS and the fault tolerance of this system are described. The switching control strategies in...
متن کاملVerifying Consistency and Validity of Formal Specifications by Testing
Detecting faults in specications can help reduce the cost and risk of software development because incorrect implementation can be prevented early. This goal can be achieved by verifying the consistency and validity of specications. In this paper we put forward specication testing as a practical technique for verication and validation of formal specications. Our approach is to derive proof obli...

The paper proposes an algorithm to calculate the switching angles using harmonic elimination PWM (HEPWM) scheme for voltage source inverter. The algorithm is based on curve fittings of a certain polynomials functions. The resulting equations require only the addition and multiplication processes; therefore, it can be implemented efficiently on a microprocessor. An extensive angle error analysis...
متن کاملDening and Detecting Feature Interactions 1
We describe a relational method for specifying features and detecting feature interactions. The method allows for an independent specication of system features , and for a detection of interaction between features. The method is based on the lattice of relational specications: the system specication is given as the conjunction (lattice operator meet) of the features; a feature interaction is de...
