Automatic Synthesis of OS Code

This lecture explores the concept of automatically synthesizing OS code, focusing on the challenges faced by operating system developers in configuring translation hardware manually. The speaker, Reto Achermann from the University of British Columbia, discusses the tedious process of reading hardware manuals, the complexity of translation units, and the need for correctness verification. The lecture presents the Velosiraptor tool chain, which automatically constructs correct OS code from a specification, reducing the development effort and minimizing the risk of errors.
