Abstract

This paper focuses on the formal proof of parallel programs dedicated to distributed memory symmetric interconnection networks; communications are realized by message passing. We have developed a method to formally verify the computational correctness of this kind of application. Using the notion of Cayley graphs to model the networks in the Nqthm theorem prover, we have formally specified and mechanically proven correct a large set of collective communication primitives. Our compositional approach allows us to reuse these libraries of pre-proven procedures to validate complex application programs within Nqthm. This is illustrated by three examples.
