A trace simplification technique for effective debugging of concurrent programs
Concurrent programs are notoriously difficult to debug. We see two main reasons for this: 1) concurrency bugs are often difficult to reproduce, 2) traces of buggy concurrent execu...

Tolerating Concurrency Bugs Using Transactions as Lifeguards
Abstract--Parallel programming is hard, because it is impractical to test all possible thread interleavings. One promising approach to improve a multi-threaded program's relia...

STORM: static unit checking of concurrent programs
Concurrency is inherent in today’s software. Unexpected interactions between concurrently executing threads often cause subtle bugs in concurrent programs. Such bugs are hard to...

Scaling model checking of dataraces using dynamic information
Dataraces in multithreaded programs often indicate severe bugs and can cause unexpected behaviors when different thread interleavings are executed. Because dataraces are a cause f...

A case for an interleaving constrained shared-memory multi-processor
Shared-memory multi-threaded programming is inherently more difficult than single-threaded programming. The main source of complexity is that, the threads of an application can in...
