Formal verification of concurrent programs with read-write locks
Abstract Read-write locking is an important mechanism to improve concurrent granularity, but it is difficult to reason about the safety of concurrent programs with read-write locks...

Concurrent Separation Logic for Pipelined Parallelization
Recent innovations in automatic parallelizing compilers are showing impressive speedups on multicore processors using shared memory with asynchronous channels. We have formulated a...

Variables as Resource for Shared-Memory Programs: Semantics and Soundness
Parkinson, Bornat, and Calcagno recently introduced a logic for partial correctness in which program variables are treated as resource, generalizing earlier work based on separati...

Separation Logic Semantics for Communicating Processes
This paper explores a unification of the ideas of Concurrent Separation Logic with those of Communicating Sequential Processes. It extends separation logic by an operator for sepa...

Reasoning about Optimistic Concurrency Using a Program Logic for History
Optimistic concurrency algorithms provide good performance for parallel programs but they are extremely hard to reason about. Program logics such as concurrent separation logic and...

Local Reasoning for Storable Locks and Threads
We present a resource oriented program logic that is able to reason about concurrent heap-manipulating programs with unbounded numbers of dynamically-allocated locks and threads. T...

Independence and Concurrent Separation Logic
A compositional Petri net based semantics is given to a simple pointer-manipulating language. The model is then applied to give a notion of validity to the judgements made by conc...
