text: We describe the design and implementation of P, a domain-specific language
to write asynchronous event driven code. P allows the programmer to specify the
system as a collection of interacting state machines, which communicate with each
other using events. P unifies modeling and programming into one activity for the
programmer. Not only can a P program be compiled into executable code, but it
can also be tested using model checking techniques. P allows the programmer to
specify the environment, used to "close" the system during testing,
as nondeterministic ghost machines. Ghost machines are erased during compilation
to executable code; a type system ensures that the erasure is semantics preserving.
The P language is designed so that a P program can be checked for responsiveness-the
ability to handle every event in a timely manner. By default, a machine needs
to handle every event that arrives in every state. But handling every event in
every state is impractical. The language provides a notion of deferred events
where the programmer can annotate when she wants to delay processing an event.
The default safety checker looks for presence of unhan-dled events. The language
also provides default liveness checks that an event cannot be potentially deferred
forever. P was used to implement and verify the core of the USB device driver
stack that ships with Microsoft Windows 8. The resulting driver is more reliable
and performs better than its prior incarnation (which did not use P); we have
more confidence in the robustness of its design due to the language abstractions
and verification provided by P.

text: 'We define the model-measuring problem: given a model M and specification
φ, what is the maximal distance ρ such that all models M′ within distance ρ from
M satisfy (or violate) φ. The model measuring problem presupposes a distance function
on models. We concentrate on automatic distance functions, which are defined by
weighted automata. The model-measuring problem subsumes several generalizations
of the classical model-checking problem, in particular, quantitative model-checking
problems that measure the degree of satisfaction of a specification, and robustness
problems that measure how much a model can be perturbed without violating the
specification. We show that for automatic distance functions, and ω-regular linear-time
and branching-time specifications, the model-measuring problem can be solved.
We use automata-theoretic model-checking methods for model measuring, replacing
the emptiness question for standard word and tree automata by the optimal-weight
question for the weighted versions of these automata. We consider weighted automata
that accumulate weights by maximizing, summing, discounting, and limit averaging.
We give several examples of using the model-measuring problem to compute various
notions of robustness and quantitative satisfaction for temporal specifications.'

text: We develop program synthesis techniques that can help programmers fix concurrency-related
bugs. We make two new contributions to synthesis for concurrency, the first improving
the efficiency of the synthesized code, and the second improving the efficiency
of the synthesis procedure itself. The first contribution is to have the synthesis
procedure explore a variety of (sequential) semantics-preserving program transformations.
Classically, only one such transformation has been considered, namely, the insertion
of synchronization primitives (such as locks). Based on common manual bug-fixing
techniques used by Linux device-driver developers, we explore additional, more
efficient transformations, such as the reordering of independent instructions.
The second contribution is to speed up the counterexample-guided removal of concurrency
bugs within the synthesis procedure by considering partial-order traces (instead
of linear traces) as counterexamples. A partial-order error trace represents a
set of linear (interleaved) traces of a concurrent program all of which lead to
the same error. By eliminating a partial-order error trace, we eliminate in a
single iteration of the synthesis procedure all linearizations of the partial-order
trace. We evaluated our techniques on several simplified examples of real concurrency
bugs that occurred in Linux device drivers.

text: "Separation logic (SL) has gained widespread popularity because of its ability
to succinctly express complex invariants of a program’s heap configurations. Several
specialized provers have been developed for decidable SL fragments. However, these
provers cannot be easily extended or combined with solvers for other theories
that are important in program verification, e.g., linear arithmetic. In this paper,
we present a reduction of decidable SL fragments to a decidable first-order theory
that fits well into the satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) framework. We show
how to use this reduction to automate satisfiability, entailment, frame inference,
and abduction problems for separation logic using SMT solvers. Our approach provides
a simple method of integrating separation logic into existing verification tools
that provide SMT backends, and an elegant way of combining SL fragments with other
decidable first-order theories. We implemented this approach in a verification
tool and applied it to heap-manipulating programs whose verification involves
reasoning in theory combinations.\r\n"

text: 'Traditional formal methods are based on a Boolean satisfaction notion: a
reactive system satisfies, or not, a given specification. We generalize formal
methods to also address the quality of systems. As an adequate specification formalism
we introduce the linear temporal logic LTL[F]. The satisfaction value of an LTL[F]
formula is a number between 0 and 1, describing the quality of the satisfaction.
The logic generalizes traditional LTL by augmenting it with a (parameterized)
set F of arbitrary functions over the interval [0,1]. For example, F may contain
the maximum or minimum between the satisfaction values of subformulas, their product,
and their average. The classical decision problems in formal methods, such as
satisfiability, model checking, and synthesis, are generalized to search and optimization
problems in the quantitative setting. For example, model checking asks for the
quality in which a specification is satisfied, and synthesis returns a system
satisfying the specification with the highest quality. Reasoning about quality
gives rise to other natural questions, like the distance between specifications.
We formalize these basic questions and study them for LTL[F]. By extending the
automata-theoretic approach for LTL to a setting that takes quality into an account,
we are able to solve the above problems and show that reasoning about LTL[F] has
roughly the same complexity as reasoning about traditional LTL.'

text: Depth-Bounded Systems form an expressive class of well-structured transition
systems. They can model a wide range of concurrent infinite-state systems including
those with dynamic thread creation, dynamically changing communication topology,
and complex shared heap structures. We present the first method to automatically
prove fair termination of depth-bounded systems. Our method uses a numerical abstraction
of the system, which we obtain by systematically augmenting an over-approximation
of the system’s reachable states with a finite set of counters. This numerical
abstraction can be analyzed with existing termination provers. What makes our
approach unique is the way in which it exploits the well-structuredness of the
analyzed system. We have implemented our work in a prototype tool and used it
to automatically prove liveness properties of complex concurrent systems, including
nonblocking algorithms such as Treiber’s stack and several distributed processes.
Many of these examples are beyond the scope of termination analyses that are based
on traditional counter abstractions.

text: We consider concurrent games played on graphs. At every round of a game, each
player simultaneously and independently selects a move; the moves jointly determine
the transition to a successor state. Two basic objectives are the safety objective
to stay forever in a given set of states, and its dual, the reachability objective
to reach a given set of states. First, we present a simple proof of the fact that
in concurrent reachability games, for all ε>0, memoryless ε-optimal strategies
exist. A memoryless strategy is independent of the history of plays, and an ε-optimal
strategy achieves the objective with probability within ε of the value of the
game. In contrast to previous proofs of this fact, our proof is more elementary
and more combinatorial. Second, we present a strategy-improvement (a.k.a. policy-iteration)
algorithm for concurrent games with reachability objectives. Finally, we present
a strategy-improvement algorithm for turn-based stochastic games (where each player
selects moves in turns) with safety objectives. Our algorithms yield sequences
of player-1 strategies which ensure probabilities of winning that converge monotonically
(from below) to the value of the game. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.

text: 'There is a trade-off between performance and correctness in implementing
concurrent data structures. Better performance may be achieved at the expense
of relaxing correctness, by redefining the semantics of data structures. We address
such a redefinition of data structure semantics and present a systematic and formal
framework for obtaining new data structures by quantitatively relaxing existing
ones. We view a data structure as a sequential specification S containing all
"legal" sequences over an alphabet of method calls. Relaxing the data
structure corresponds to defining a distance from any sequence over the alphabet
to the sequential specification: the k-relaxed sequential specification contains
all sequences over the alphabet within distance k from the original specification.
In contrast to other existing work, our relaxations are semantic (distance in
terms of data structure states). As an instantiation of our framework, we present
two simple yet generic relaxation schemes, called out-of-order and stuttering
relaxation, along with several ways of computing distances. We show that the out-of-order
relaxation, when further instantiated to stacks, queues, and priority queues,
amounts to tolerating bounded out-of-order behavior, which cannot be captured
by a purely syntactic relaxation (distance in terms of sequence manipulation,
e.g. edit distance). We give concurrent implementations of relaxed data structures
and demonstrate that bounded relaxations provide the means for trading correctness
for performance in a controlled way. The relaxations are monotonic which further
highlights the trade-off: increasing k increases the number of permitted sequences,
which as we demonstrate can lead to better performance. Finally, since a relaxed
stack or queue also implements a pool, we actually have new concurrent pool implementations
that outperform the state-of-the-art ones.'

provides a systematic way for counter-example guided abstraction refinement for
quantitative properties. The salient aspect of the framework is that it allows
anytime verification, that is, verification algorithms that can be stopped at
any time (for example, due to exhaustion of memory), and report approximations
that improve monotonically when the algorithms are given more time. We instantiate
the framework with a number of quantitative abstractions and refinement schemes,
which differ in terms of how much quantitative information they keep from the
original system. We introduce both state-based and trace-based quantitative abstractions,
and we describe conditions that define classes of quantitative properties for
which the abstractions provide over-approximations. We give algorithms for evaluating
the quantitative properties on the abstract systems. We present algorithms for
counter-example based refinements for quantitative properties for both state-based
and segment-based abstractions. We perform a case study on worst-case execution
time of executables to evaluate the anytime verification aspect and the quantitative
abstractions we proposed.

text: 'We consider the distributed synthesis problem for temporal logic specifications.
Traditionally, the problem has been studied for LTL, and the previous results
show that the problem is decidable iff there is no information fork in the architecture.
We consider the problem for fragments of LTL and our main results are as follows:
(1) We show that the problem is undecidable for architectures with information
forks even for the fragment of LTL with temporal operators restricted to next
and eventually. (2) For specifications restricted to globally along with non-nested
next operators, we establish decidability (in EXPSPACE) for star architectures
where the processes receive disjoint inputs, whereas we establish undecidability
for architectures containing an information fork-meet structure. (3) Finally,
we consider LTL without the next operator, and establish decidability (NEXPTIME-complete)
for all architectures for a fragment that consists of a set of safety assumptions,
and a set of guarantees where each guarantee is a safety, reachability, or liveness
condition.'

text: It is often difficult to correctly implement a Boolean controller for a complex
system, especially when concurrency is involved. Yet, it may be easy to formally
specify a controller. For instance, for a pipelined processor it suffices to state
that the visible behavior of the pipelined system should be identical to a non-pipelined
reference system (Burch-Dill paradigm). We present a novel procedure to efficiently
synthesize multiple Boolean control signals from a specification given as a quantified
first-order formula (with a specific quantifier structure). Our approach uses
uninterpreted functions to abstract details of the design. We construct an unsatisfiable
SMT formula from the given specification. Then, from just one proof of unsatisfiability,
we use a variant of Craig interpolation to compute multiple coordinated interpolants
that implement the Boolean control signals. Our method avoids iterative learning
and back-substitution of the control functions. We applied our approach to synthesize
a controller for a simple two-stage pipelined processor, and present first experimental
results.

text: Choices made by nondeterministic word automata depend on both the past (the
prefix of the word read so far) and the future (the suffix yet to be read). In
several applications, most notably synthesis, the future is diverse or unknown,
leading to algorithms that are based on deterministic automata. Hoping to retain
some of the advantages of nondeterministic automata, researchers have studied
restricted classes of nondeterministic automata. Three such classes are nondeterministic
automata that are good for trees (GFT; i.e., ones that can be expanded to tree
automata accepting the derived tree languages, thus whose choices should satisfy
diverse futures), good for games (GFG; i.e., ones whose choices depend only on
the past), and determinizable by pruning (DBP; i.e., ones that embody equivalent
deterministic automata). The theoretical properties and relative merits of the
different classes are still open, having vagueness on whether they really differ
from deterministic automata. In particular, while DBP ⊆ GFG ⊆ GFT, it is not known
whether every GFT automaton is GFG and whether every GFG automaton is DBP. Also
open is the possible succinctness of GFG and GFT automata compared to deterministic
automata. We study these problems for ω-regular automata with all common acceptance
conditions. We show that GFT=GFG⊃DBP, and describe a determinization construction
for GFG automata.

text: "Motivated by the analysis of highly dynamic message-passing systems, i.e.
unbounded thread creation, mobility, etc. we present a framework for the analysis
of depth-bounded systems. Depth-bounded systems are one of the most expressive
known fragment of the π-calculus for which interesting verification problems are
still decidable. Even though they are infinite state systems depth-bounded systems
are well-structured, thus can be analyzed algorithmically. We give an interpretation
of depth-bounded systems as graph-rewriting systems. This gives more flexibility
and ease of use to apply depth-bounded systems to other type of systems like shared
memory concurrency.\r\n\r\nFirst, we develop an adequate domain of limits for
depth-bounded systems, a prerequisite for the effective representation of downward-closed
sets. Downward-closed sets are needed by forward saturation-based algorithms to
represent potentially infinite sets of states. Then, we present an abstract interpretation
framework to compute the covering set of well-structured transition systems. Because,
in general, the covering set is not computable, our abstraction over-approximates
the actual covering set. Our abstraction captures the essence of acceleration
based-algorithms while giving up enough precision to ensure convergence. We have
implemented the analysis in the PICASSO tool and show that it is accurate in practice.
Finally, we build some further analyses like termination using the covering set
as starting point."

text: "Linearizability requires that the outcome of calls by competing threads to
a concurrent data structure is the same as some sequential execution where each
thread has exclusive access to the data structure. In an ordered data structure,
such as a queue or a stack, linearizability is ensured by requiring threads commit
in the order dictated by the sequential semantics of the data structure; e.g.,
in a concurrent queue implementation a dequeue can only remove the oldest element.
\r\nIn this paper, we investigate the impact of this strict ordering, by comparing
what linearizability allows to what existing implementations do. We first give
an operational definition for linearizability which allows us to build the most
general linearizable implementation as a transition system for any given sequential
specification. We then use this operational definition to categorize linearizable
implementations based on whether they are bound or free. In a bound implementation,
whenever all threads observe the same logical state, the updates to the logical
state and the temporal order of commits coincide. All existing queue implementations
we know of are bound. We then proceed to present, to the best of our knowledge,
the first ever free queue implementation. Our experiments show that free implementations
have the potential for better performance by suffering less from contention."

text: 'We consider the distributed synthesis problem fortemporal logic specifications.
Traditionally, the problem has been studied for LTL, and the previous results
show that the problem is decidable iff there is no information fork in the architecture.
We consider the problem for fragments of LTLand our main results are as follows:
(1) We show that the problem is undecidable for architectures with information
forks even for the fragment of LTL with temporal operators restricted to next
and eventually. (2) For specifications restricted to globally along with non-nested
next operators, we establish decidability (in EXPSPACE) for star architectures
where the processes receive disjoint inputs, whereas we establish undecidability
for architectures containing an information fork-meet structure. (3)Finally, we
consider LTL without the next operator, and establish decidability (NEXPTIME-complete)
for all architectures for a fragment that consists of a set of safety assumptions,
and a set of guarantees where each guarantee is a safety, reachability, or liveness
condition.'

text: In order to guarantee that each method of a data structure updates the logical
state exactly once, al-most all non-blocking implementations employ Compare-And-Swap
(CAS) based synchronization. For FIFO queue implementations this translates into concurrent enqueue or dequeue methods
competing among themselves to update the same variable, the tail or the head,
respectively, leading to high contention and poor scalability. Recent non-blocking
queue implementations try to alleviate high contentionby increasing the number
of contention points, all the while using CAS-based synchronization. Furthermore,
obtaining a wait-free implementation with competition is achieved by additional
synchronization which leads to further degradation of performance.In this paper
we formalize the notion of competitiveness of a synchronizing statement which
can beused as a measure for the scalability of concurrent implementations. We
present a new queue implementation, the Speculative Pairing (SP) queue, which,
as we show, decreases competitiveness by using Fetch-And-Increment (FAI) instead
of CAS. We prove that the SP queue is linearizable and lock-free.We also show
that replacing CAS with FAI leads to wait-freedom for dequeue methods without
an adverse effect on performance. In fact, our experiments suggest that the SP
queue can perform and scale better than the state-of-the-art queue implementations.

text: "Linearizability of concurrent data structures is usually proved by monolithic
simulation arguments relying on identifying the so-called linearization points.
Regrettably, such proofs, whether manual or automatic, are often complicated and
scale poorly to advanced non-blocking concurrency patterns, such as helping and
optimistic updates.\r\nIn response, we propose a more modular way of checking
linearizability of concurrent queue algorithms that does not involve identifying
linearization points. We reduce the task of proving linearizability with respect
to the queue specification to establishing four basic properties, each of which
can be proved independently by simpler arguments. As a demonstration of our approach,
we verify the Herlihy and Wing queue, an algorithm that is challenging to verify
by a simulation proof."

text: We propose a logic-based framework for automated reasoning about sequential
programs manipulating singly-linked lists and arrays with unbounded data. We introduce
the logic SLAD, which allows combining shape constraints, written in a fragment
of Separation Logic, with data and size constraints. We address the problem of
checking the entailment between SLAD formulas, which is crucial in performing
pre-post condition reasoning. Although this problem is undecidable in general
for SLAD, we propose a sound and powerful procedure that is able to solve this
problem for a large class of formulas, beyond the capabilities of existing techniques
and tools. We prove that this procedure is complete, i.e., it is actually a decision
procedure for this problem, for an important fragment of SLAD including known
decidable logics. We implemented this procedure and shown its preciseness and
its efficiency on a significant benchmark of formulas.
