A distributed architecture to check global properties for post-silicon debug
Post-silicon validation and debug, or ensuring that software executes correctly on the silicon of a multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSOC) is complicated, as it involves checking g...

Testing concurrent programs using value schedules
Concurrent programs are difficult to debug and verify because of the nondeterministic nature of concurrent executions. A particular concurrency-related bug may only show up under ...

Contessa: Concurrency Testing Augmented with Symbolic Analysis
Testing of multi-threaded programs poses enormous challenges. To improve the coverage of testing, we present a framework named CONTESSA that augments conventional testing (concrete...

Analyzing multicore dumps to facilitate concurrency bug reproduction
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...

Using Model Checking to Debug Device Firmware
Device firmware is a piece of concurrent software that achieves high performance at the cost of software complexity. They contain subtle race conditions that make them difficult t...
