The FM9001 Microprocessor:
Its Formal Specification and
Mechanical Correctness Proof

Summer 1995

We are releasing the mechanically checked proof scripts for the FM9001
microprocessor. The FM9001 is a general-purpose 32-bit microprocessor
which has been implemented as a CMOS ASIC. The proof being released
rigorously connects the expression of the FM9001 as a netlist with the
characterization of the FM9001 at the machine-code programmer's level.
(The FM9001 is the foundation of the `CLI Stack', which also includes
several verified compilers and applications all running on the FM9001.
Other parts of the `CLI Stack' are separately released.)
