Abstract Stobjs and Their Application to ISA Modeling

We introduce a new ACL2 feature, the abstract stobj, and show how to apply it to modeling the instruction set architecture of a microprocessor. Benefits of abstract stobjs over traditional ("concrete'') stobjs can include faster execution, support for symbolic simulation, more efficie...
