METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING VERIFICATION CONDITIONS FOR CONCURRENT PROGRAMS USING MUTUALLY ATOMIC TRANSACTIONS

摘要

Methods and systems for generating verification conditions and verifying the correctness of a concurrent system of program threads are described. The methods and systems determine and employ mutually atomic transactions to reduce verification problem sizes and state space for concurrent systems. The embodiments provide both an adequate and an optimal set of token-passing constraints for a bounded unrolling of threads.
