Project

This repository contains code for verified storage systems. Most of the code is written in, and its correctness properties are verified with, Verus.

For the artifact associated with our OSDI 2025 paper, "PoWER Never Corrupts: Tool-Agnostic Verification of Crash Consistency and Corruption Detection", go to the directory osdi25 in the osdi25-artifact branch.

This project contains the following:

• pmemlog implements a persistent-memory append-only log. It handles crash consistency, ensuring that even if the process or machine crashes, it acts like an append-only log across the crashes. It also handles bit corruption, detecting if metadata read from persistent memory is corrupted.

• multilog is like pmemlog except it implements a collection of logs, each in its own region of persistent memory. Its transactional interface allows atomically committing appends across those logs.

• capybaraKV is a persistent-memory key-value store, handling crash consistency and bit corruption.

• capybaraNS is a persistent-memory notary service written in Dafny.

• unverified contains unverified mocks and tests.

• soundness_proofs contains formalized arguments of soundness for the PoWER specification approach used to prove crash consistency.
