Currently multi-threaded C or C++ programs combine a single-threaded programming
language with a separate threads library. This is not entirely sound [7]. We describe an effort …

In this article, we consider the semantic design and verified compilation of a C-like
programming language for concurrent shared-memory computation on x86 multiprocessors …

Modern architectures rely on memory fences to prevent undesired weakenings of memory
consistency. As the fences' semantics may be subtle, the automation of their placement is …

Sequential consistency (SC) is arguably the most intuitive behavior for a shared-memory
multithreaded program. It is widely accepted that language-level SC could significantly …

While parallelism remains the main source of performance, architectural implementations
and programming models change with each new hardware generation, often leading to …

The most intuitive memory model for shared-memory multithreaded programming is
sequential consistency (SC), but it disallows the use of many compiler and hardware …

The most intuitive memory consistency model for shared-memory multi-threaded
programming is sequential consistency (SC). However, current concurrent programming …

A memory model for a concurrent imperative programming language specifies which writes
to shared variables may be seen by reads performed by other threads. We present a simple …

Dynamic program analysis can predict data races knowable from an observed execution,
but existing predictive analyses either miss races or cannot analyze full program executions …

Concurrent programs running on weak memory models exhibit relaxed behaviours, making
them hard to understand and to debug. To use standard verification techniques on such …
