| Abstract | We have developed a formal technique called test model-checking for debugging claimed conformance to formal memory models by realistic memory systems and multiprocessor machines. Test model-checking is an embedding of a formal testing method called Archtest in the model-checking framework. In this paper, we describe our technique and illustrate it on the problem of checking sequential consistency of (a model of) the HP PA8000 symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) bus called Runway. Our experiments show that test model-checking is an eeective method for use in the typically iterative design cycle of complex memory systems to quickly detect ordering violations and pinpoint their cause. |
