Commodity hypervisors are widely deployed to support virtual machines (VMs) on
multiprocessor hardware. Their growing complexity poses a security risk. To enable formal …

Cloud services have revolutionized modern computing. The benefits of outsourcing data and
computation come with security and privacy concerns. This monograph explores the …

GenMC is an LLVM-based state-of-the-art stateless model checker for concurrent C/C++
programs. Its modular infrastructure allows it to support complex memory models, such as …

Formal methods encompass a wide choice of techniques and tools for the specification,
development, analysis, and verification of software and hardware systems. Formal methods …

Concurrent systems software is widely-used, complex, and error-prone, posing a significant
security risk. We introduce VRM, a new framework that makes it possible for the first time to …

This monograph grows out of nearly 40 years of experience in synchronization and
concurrent data structures. Though written primarily from the perspective of systems …

While current bug detection techniques for concurrent software focus on unearthing low-
level issues such as data races or deadlocks, they often fall short of discovering more …

The emergence of new architectures create a recurring challenge to ensure that existing
programs still work on them. Manually porting legacy code is often impractical. Static binary …

We propose a family of logical theories for capturing an abstract notion of consistency and
show how to build a generic and efficient theory solver that works for all members in the …

Existing dynamic partial order reduction (DPOR) algorithms scale poorly on concurrent data
structure benchmarks because they visit a huge number of blocked executions due to …
