Preemption Sealing for Efficient Concurrency Testing
The choice of where a thread scheduling algorithm preempts one thread in order to execute another is essential to reveal concurrency errors such as atomicity violations, livelocks,...

Using Block-Local Atomicity to Detect Stale-Value Concurrency Errors
Data races do not cover all kinds of concurrency errors. This paper presents a data-ow-based technique to nd stale-value errors, which are not found by low-level and high-level d...

Partial Verification of Software Components: Heuristics for Environment Construction
Code model checking of software components suffers from the well-known problem of state explosion when applied to highly parallel components, despite the fact that a single compon...

Grace: safe multithreaded programming for C/C++
The shift from single to multiple core architectures means that programmers must write concurrent, multithreaded programs in order to increase application performance. Unfortunate...

An Integrated Framework for Checking Concurrency-Related Programming Errors
Developing concurrent programs is intrinsically difficult. They are subject to programming errors that are not present in traditional sequential programs. Our current work is to ...

Static ownership inference for reasoning against concurrency errors
We propose a new approach for reasoning about concurrency in object-oriented programs. Central to our approach is static ownership inference analysis — we conjecture that this a...

jPredictor: a predictive runtime analysis tool for java
JPREDICTOR is a tool for detecting concurrency errors in JAVA programs. The JAVA program is instrumented to emit property-relevant events at runtime and then executed. The resulti...
