6.3 Verification and Simulation Support for Architecture

Date: Wednesday 20 March 2013
Time: 11:00 - 12:30
Location / Room: Stendahl

Chair:
Valeria Bertacco, University of Michigan, US

Co-Chair:
Elena Vatajelu, LIRMM, FR

With processor architectures becoming increasingly complex and concurrent, new verification ideas are needed to rescue them from being bug-ridden. This session addresses a number of key issues in this domain: simulation performance, correctness of concurrency, and of the models used to validate the software running on them. The session presents solutions to boost the performance of architectural simulators and cache simulation and to effectively verify memory transactions with respect to consistency.
