--- res: bibo_abstract: - We present an algorithm called TAR (“Thread-modular Abstraction Refinement”) for model checking safety properties of concurrent software. The TAR algorithm uses thread-modular assume-guarantee reasoning to overcome the exponential complexity in the control state of multithreaded programs. Thread modularity means that TAR explores the state space of one thread at a time, making assumptions about how the environment can interfere. The TAR algorithm uses counterexample-guided predicate-abstraction refinement to overcome the usually infinite complexity in the data state of C programs. A successive approximation scheme automatically infers the necessary precision on data variables as well as suitable environment assumptions. The scheme is novel in that transition relations are approximated from above, while at the same time environment assumptions are approximated from below. In our software verification tool BLAST we have implemented a fully automatic race checker for multithreaded C programs which is based on the TAR algorithm. This tool has verified a wide variety of commonly used locking idioms, including locking schemes that are not amenable to existing dynamic and static race checkers such as ERASER or WARLOCK.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Thomas A foaf_name: Henzinger, Thomas A foaf_surname: Henzinger foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=40876CD8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000−0002−2985−7724 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ranjit foaf_name: Jhala, Ranjit foaf_surname: Jhala - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Ritankar foaf_name: Majumdar, Ritankar foaf_surname: Majumdar - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Shaz foaf_name: Qadeer, Shaz foaf_surname: Qadeer bibo_doi: 10.1007/978-3-540-45069-6_27 bibo_volume: 2725 dct_date: 2003^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/9783540405245 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer@ dct_title: Thread-modular abstraction refinement@ ...
