Using Block-Local Atomicity to Detect Stale-Value Concurrency Errors
Data races do not cover all kinds of concurrency errors. This paper presents a data-ow-based technique to nd stale-value errors, which are not found by low-level and high-level d...

Toward a Grainless Semantics for Shared-Variable Concurrency
Abstract. Conventional semantics for shared-variable concurrency suffers from the “grain of time” problem, i.e., the necessity of specifying a default level of atomicity. We pr...
