One approach in verifying the correctness of a multiprocessor system is to show that its execution results comply with the memory consistency model it is meant to implement. It ha...
The Valued (VCSP) framework is a generic optimization framework with a wide range of applications. Soft arc consistency operations transform a VCSP into an equivalent problem by s...
Abstract--Software transactional memory (STM) algorithms often rely on centralized components to achieve atomicity, isolation and consistency. In a distributed setting, centralized...
