Debugging concurrent programs is difficult. This is primarily because the inherent non-determinism that arises because of scheduler interleavings makes it hard to easily reproduc...

We present a general scheme for virtualizing main memory errorcorrection mechanisms, which map redundant information needed to correct errors into the memory namespace itself. We ...

The behavior of a multithreaded program does not depend only on its inputs. Scheduling, memory reordering, timing, and low-level hardware effects all introduce nondeterminism in t...
