We formalise the data race free (DRF) guarantee provided by Java, as captured by the semi-formal Java Memory Model (JMM) [1] and published in the Java Language Specification [2]. ...
Concurrent programming languages are becoming mandatory with the advent of multi-core processors. Two major concerns in any concurrent program are data races and deadlocks. Each a...
Abstract—Widespread emergence of multicore processors will spur development of parallel applications, exposing programmers to degrees of hardware concurrency hitherto unavailable...
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...
Data races occur when multiple threads are about to access the same piece of memory, and at least one of those accesses is a write. Such races can lead to hard-to-reproduce bugs t...
