  1. R-Verify: Deep Checking of Embedded Code James Ezick† Donald Nguyen† Richard Lethin† Rick Pancoast* (†) Reservoir Labs (*) Lockheed Martin The Eleventh Annual Workshop on High Performance Embedded Computing September 2007

  2. R-Verify Design Usable • Simplifies software development process • Find bugs earlier (debugging) • Static identification of bug patterns (regression testing) • Verify entire application with components (integration testing) • Integrates with existing workflows • Visual counter-example presentation • Extensible to any domain • Verification expertise not required • No new language to learn • Properties written in source language Powerful • SAT based model checking technology • Modeling and deep semantic checking of complex systems • Aggressively optimized search • Works with any programming style Scalable • Uses reasonable time and space • Applies abstraction and refinement R-Verify Supports: • Pre- and post-condition checking including documented VSIPL rules • Memory safety of embedded device drivers, interrupt handlers, and VSIPL “admitted” blocks • Numerical precision of arithmetic pipelines with an emphasis on VSIPL pipeline implementations HPEC 2007

  4. R-Stream 3.0 Can plug into existing development environments such as Eclipse Industry-standard C front end Parses source code and generates intermediate representation (IR) Robust toolkit of compiler algorithms Infer known loop bounds Unroll loops and inline entire function calls Supports classical optimizations Constraint propagation Dead code elimination Partial subexpression elimination Many more Integrated IR visualization and reflection tools to aid reporting Rich library of useful analyses and representations Points-to analysis Reachability analysis Program dependency graphs Augmented post-dominator tree Salt 1.5 Constraint intermediate language Easy to target Optimizes constraint representations Supports logical, pseudo-Boolean, fixed point arithmetic and set constraints Extensible to other constraint logics Alef SAT Solver Parallel satisfiability solver Targets large problem sizes Improved performance by exploiting data and cooperative search parallelism Built on Existing Reservoir Labs Technologies By basing R-Verify on mature, robust technologies we were able to: • Manage Risk • Reduce development time, cost • Focus on applications and usability rather than technology HPEC 2007
