VIPER microprocessor

VIPER is a 32-bit microprocessor design created by Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in the 1980s, intended for use in safety-critical systems such as avionics.[1] It was the first commercial microprocessor design to be formally proven correct, although there was some controversy surrounding this claim and the definition of proof.
