This paper develops a new abstraction technique for processor microarchitecture validation. An abstract finite-state machine model is derived directly from the processor HDL description. This model, along with information about the instruction set, is used for validation coverage analysis. We also present automatic test generation algorithms for generating sequences for traversing state transition paths and covering snapshot and temporal events.
