Generating Litmus Tests for Contrasting Memory Consistency Models
Well-defined memory consistency models are necessary for writing correct parallel software. Developing and understanding formal specifications of hardware memory models is a chal...

Litmus tests for comparing memory consistency models: how long do they need to be?
Memory consistency litmus tests are small parallel programs that are designed to illustrate subtle differences between memory consistency models by exhibiting different outcomes...

Fences in Weak Memory Models
We present a class of relaxed memory models, defined in Coq, parameterised by the chosen permitted local reorderings of reads and writes, and the visibility of inter- and intra-pr...

Completely verifying memory consistency of test program executions
An important means of validating the design of commercial-grade shared memory multiprocessors is to run a large number of pseudo-random test programs on them. However, when intent...

Precise pointer reasoning for dynamic test generation
Dynamic test generation consists of executing a program while gathering symbolic constraints on inputs from predicates encountered in branch statements, and of using a constraint ...
