SPINning Parallel Systems Software
We describe our experiences in using Spin to verify parts of the Multi Purpose Daemon (MPD) parallel process management system. MPD is a distributed collection of processes connect...

Scalable Spin Locks for Multiprogrammed Systems
Synchronization primitives for large shared-memory multiprocessors need to minimize latency and contention. Software queue-based locks address these goals, but suffer if a process...

Multi-Core Model Checking with SPIN
—We present the first experimental results on the implementation of a multi-core model checking algorithm for the SPIN model checker. These algorithms specifically target shared-...

Hardware support for spin management in overcommitted virtual machines
Multiprocessor operating systems (OSs) pose several unique and conflicting challenges to System Virtual Machines (System VMs). For example, most existing system VMs resort to gan...

Guiding Spin Simulation
Abstract. In this paper we present a technique for the Spin tool, inspired by practical experiences with Spin and a FireWire protocol. We show how to guide simulations with Spin, b...
