Optimization Techniques for Verification of Out-of-Order Execution Machines

We develop two optimization techniques, flush-machine and collapsed flushing, to improve the efficiency of automatic refinement-abased verification of out-of-order (ooo) processor models. Refinement is a notion of equivalence that can be used to check that an ooo processor correctly implements all b...
