Tolerating Concurrency Bugs Using Transactions as Lifeguards
Abstract--Parallel programming is hard, because it is impractical to test all possible thread interleavings. One promising approach to improve a multi-threaded program's relia...

Learning from mistakes: a comprehensive study on real world concurrency bug characteristics
The reality of multi-core hardware has made concurrent programs pervasive. Unfortunately, writing correct concurrent programs is difficult. Addressing this challenge requires adva...

A case for an interleaving constrained shared-memory multi-processor
Shared-memory multi-threaded programming is inherently more difficult than single-threaded programming. The main source of complexity is that, the threads of an application can in...

A randomized scheduler with probabilistic guarantees of finding bugs
This paper presents a randomized scheduler for finding concurrency bugs. Like current stress-testing methods, it repeatedly runs a given test program with supplied inputs. Howeve...

MUVI: automatically inferring multi-variable access correlations and detecting related semantic and concurrency bugs
Software defects significantly reduce system dependability. Among various types of software bugs, semantic and concurrency bugs are two of the most difficult to detect. This pape...
