AtomTracker: A Comprehensive Approach to Atomic Region Inference and Violation Detection
A particularly insidious type of concurrency bug is atomicity violations. While there has been substantial work on automatic detection of atomicity violations, each existing techn...

Monitoring Atomicity in Concurrent Programs
We study the problem of monitoring concurrent program runs for atomicity violations. Unearthing fundamental results behind scheduling algorithms in database control, we build space...

ColorSafe: architectural support for debugging and dynamically avoiding multi-variable atomicity violations
In this paper, we propose ColorSafe, an architecture that detects and dynamically avoids single- and multi-variable atomicity violation bugs. The key idea is to group related data...

Automated type-based analysis of data races and atomicity
Concurrent programs are notorious for containing errors that are difficult to reproduce and diagnose at run-time. This motivated the development of type systems that statically en...

Optimized run-time race detection and atomicity checking using partial discovered types
Concurrent programs are notorious for containing errors that are difficult to reproduce and diagnose. Two common kinds of concurrency errors are data races and atomicity violation...

AVIO: detecting atomicity violations via access interleaving invariants
Concurrency bugs are among the most difficult to test and diagnose of all software bugs. The multicore technology trend worsens this problem. Most previous concurrency bug detect...

Atom-Aid: Detecting and Surviving Atomicity Violations
Writing shared-memory parallel programs is error-prone. Among the concurrency errors that programmers often face are atomicity violations, which are especially challenging. They h...

Trace-Based Symbolic Analysis for Atomicity Violations
Abstract. We propose a symbolic algorithm to accurately predict atomicity violations by analyzing a concrete execution trace of a concurrent program. We use both the execution trac...

Using data structure knowledge for efficient lock generation and strong atomicity
To achieve high-performance on multicore systems, sharedmemory parallel languages must efficiently implement atomic operations. The commonly used and studied paradigms for atomici...
