Abstract:Concurrent programs are difficult to debug because concurrency faults usually occur under specific inputs and thread interleavings. Fault localization techniques for sequential programs are often ineffective because the root causes of concurrency faults involve memory accesses across multiple threads rather than single statements. Previous research has proposed techniques to analyse passing and failing executions obtained from running a set of test cases for identifying faulty memory access patterns. However, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
