Compilers should be correct. To improve the quality of C compilers, we created Csmith, a randomized test-case generation tool, and spent three years using it to find compiler bug...
Fixing concurrency bugs (or crugs) is critical in modern software systems. Static analyses to find crugs such as data races and atomicity violations scale poorly, while dynamic a...

We present a statistical debugging algorithm that isolates bugs in programs containing multiple undiagnosed bugs. Earlier statistical algorithms that focus solely on identifying p...
