TLA+ has shown good promise in verifying cache-coherence protocols in multicore systems (a good alternative to CMurphi). An intern an Microsoft one helped uncover a bug in the Xbox 360, right before its 2004 launch - by formally verifying the protocol.

A few serious RISC-V startups use it today as well..

Thank you! Yes, the purpose of this blog was to motivate peer hardware designers to switch to a much more intuitive HLHDL like BSV, especially in academia. This was my "skin-in-the-game" approach to travel back in time to the hardest problem I solved back in college (the MDSA Hardware Accelerator) and show how better/efficient I was in designing the same.

A good time to popularize the impact on the "Wirth's law" on CPU Performance, aside from the "Moore's law" - shifting focus to Lean Software alongside faster xLP hacks.
