Observational models enable the analysis of information flow properties against side
channels. Relational testing has been used to validate the soundness of these models by …

Observational models make tractable the analysis of information flow properties by providing
an abstraction of side channels. We introduce a methodology and a tool, Scam-V, to validate …

Coverage feedback is one of the key mechanisms for improving the effectiveness of fuzzers
by measuring and comparing the executed code regions while processing input data. In …

Since the 1960s processors have, for efficiency, sometimes executed instructions out of
program order, provided that the (sequential) semantics is preserved. On uniprocessor …

The SPARC instruction set architecture (ISA) has been used in various processors in
workstations, embedded systems, and in mission-critical industries such as aviation and …

Model checking as a computer-assisted verification method is widely used in many fields to
verify whether a design model satisfies the requirements specifications of the target system …

The SPARCv8 instruction set architecture (ISA) has been widely used in various processors
for workstations, embedded systems, and space missions. In order to formally verify the …

Since the introduction of the CDC 6600 in 1965 and itsscoreboarding'technique processors
have not (necessarily) executed instructions in program order. Programmers of high-level …

To ease hardware design process, circuits are normally designed in description languages
such as Verilog and VHDL. The correctness of circuits is normally checked by exhaustive …

In the hardware design process, hardware components are usually described in a hardware
description language. Most of the hardware description languages, such as Verilog and …
