Abstract. This paper describes a mechanism for “fusing” concurrent invocations of exclusive methods. The target of our work is object-oriented languages with concurrent extensi...
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
The instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors are designed to offer good performance across a wide range of programs. The size and complexity of the instruction sets, how...
Model checking based on the causal partial order semantics of Petri nets is an approach widely applied to cope with the state space explosion problem. One of the ways to exploit su...
