Abstract
In this chapter, the concepts introduced in Chapter 2 are applied to derive reference specifications for two Intel circuits: the out-of-order retirement pipeline from the Intel PentiumĀ® Pro processor, and an IA-32 instruction-length decoder from a different processor. Both circuits are verified using reference specifications derived with self consistency. Both examples describe the functionality of the circuits and bugs that were found with the derived pecifications. Before presenting the examples, we will discuss using self consistency in practice and introduce our symbolic simulation platform.
