Synchronization in distributed systems is expensive because, in general, threads must stall to obtain a lock or to operate on volatile data. Transactional memory, on the other hand...
We present the design and evaluation of an on-thefly data-race-detection technique that handles applications written for the lazy release consistent (LRC) shared memory model. We ...
Architectural descriptions can provide support for a formal representation of the structure and the overall behavior of software systems, which is suitable for an early assessment ...
The high degree of complexity and autonomy of future robotic space missions, such as Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), poses serious challenges in assuring their reliability and efï¬...
Concurrency-related bugs may happen when multiple threads access shared data and interleave in ways that do not correspond to any sequential execution. Their absence is not guaran...
