Abstract

analysis for multithreaded programs. The algorithm uses a new abstraction called parallel interaction graphs to analyze the interactions between threads and extract precise points-to, escape, and action ordering information for objects accessed by multiple threads. The analysis is compositional, analyzing each method or thread once to extract a parameterized analysis result that can be specialized for use in any context. It is also capable of analyzing programs that use the unstructured form of multithreading present in languages such as Java and standard threads packages such as POSIX threads.
