ProCerDCL: Query-Efficient Black-Box Probabilistic Verification of Deep Learning Compiler Optimization
We present \tool, a query-efficient framework for black-box probabilistic verification. Given a fixed, sampleable input distribution and a binary property oracle, \tool assesses the property's violation probability $p$ against a threshold $θ$. Under independent sampling and stateless oracle behavior, acceptance asserts $p\leθ$, rejection asserts $p>θ+η$ for a user-specified separation margin, and an inconclusive verdict indicates insufficient evidence for either conclusion. The probability of each type of erroneous verdict is bounded by its specified error budget. To support this three-valued contract efficiently, \tool uses a single sequential test, eliminating the interval family required by the baseline. The test accounts for repeated sampling checks through either corrected exact binomial confidence intervals or an anytime-valid confidence sequence. We apply \tool to probabilistic local model semantic consistency, where the property oracle detects decision-level inconsistencies between reference and compiled executions under a specified perturbation distribution. Our evaluation covers 24 tasks across TorchInductor and TensorRT and examines sampling efficiency, conclusiveness,…
