AbstractWe describe a mechanically verified proof of correctness of the floating point multiplication, division, and square root instructions of the AMD-K7 microprocessor. The instructions are implemented in hardware and represented here by register-transfer level specifications, the primitives of which are logical operations on bit vectors. On the other hand, the statements of correctness, derived from IEEE Standard 754, are arithmetic in nature and considerably more abstract. Therefore, we begin by developing a theory of bit vectors and their role in floating point representations and rounding. We then present the hardware model and a rigorous proof of its correctness. All of our definitions, lemmas and theorems have been formally encoded in the ACL2 logic, and every step in the proof has been mechanically checked with the ACL2 prover.

Floating point multiplication is a critical part in high dynamic range and computational intensive digital signal processing applications which require high precision and low power. This paper presents the design of an IEEE 754 single precision floating point multiplier using asynchronous NULL convention logic paradigm. Rounding has not been implemented to suit high precision applications. The novelty of the research is that it is the first ever NULL convention logic multiplier, designed to perform floating point multiplication. The proposed multiplier offers substantial decrease in power consumption when compared with its synchronous version. Performance attributes of the NULL convention logic floating point multiplier, obtained from Xilinx simulation and Cadence, are compared with its equivalent synchronous implementation.
