veribetrfs: Verification as a Practical Engineering Tool

Jon Howell VMware Research, Bellevue, WA, USA

17 Jan 2020, 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Saarbrücken building E1 5, room 029
simultaneous videocast to Kaiserslautern building G26, room 111 / Meeting ID: VMR 6312

SWS Distinguished Lecture Series

Recent progress in systems verification have shown that verification techniques can scale to thousands of lines. It is time to ask whether verification can displace testing as an effective path to software correctness. The veribetrfs project is developing a verified high-performance storage system. A primary goal of the project is to reduce verification methodology to engineering practice. Veribetrfs is developed using the Iron★ methodology, a descendent of the Ironclad and IronFleet projects. So far, we have a key-value store with 100k iops performance and strong guarantees against data loss. …

This talk will give an overview of the methodology and describe how we have enhanced it in veribetrfs.

Computer-Aided Programming Across Software Stack

Işıl Dillig University of Texas at Austin

Program synthesis techniques aim to generate executable programs from some high-level of expression on user intent, such as logical specifications, examples, or naive reference implementation. This talk will survey different flavors of program synthesis and their applications across the entire software stack, ranging from computer end-users all the way to systems programmers. We will also illustrate how program synthesis is useful for addressing different concerns in software development, including functionality, correctness, performance, and security.
