| dc.description.abstract | This thesis describes CB-DPOR, an algorithm for quickly finding bugs in lock-free data structures. CB-DPOR is a combination of the CHESS and DPOR model checking algorithms. CB-DPOR performs similar to the concurrently developed preemption-bounded BPOR algorithm. CODEX is a tool for finding bugs in lock-free data structures. CODEX implements CBDPOR and this thesis demonstrates how to use CODEX to find bugs. This thesis describes new bugs in open-source lock-free data structures, and compares the performance of CBDPOR with the earlier model checking algorithms CHESS, DPOR, and PCT. CB-DPOR find bugs one to two orders of magnitude faster than earlier algorithms. | en_US |
