Eraser: a dynamic data race detector for multithreaded programs
- ACM Transaction of Computer System
, 1997
"... Multi-threaded programming is difficult and error prone. It is easy to make a mistake in synchronization that produces a data race, yet it can be extremely hard to locate this mistake during debugging. This paper describes a new tool, called Eraser, for dynamically detecting data races in lock-based ..."

Ownership Types for Safe Programming: Preventing Data Races and Deadlocks
, 2002
"... This paper presents a new static type system for multi-threaded programs; well-typed programs in our system are guaranteed to be free of data races and deadlocks. Our type system allows programmers to partition the locks into a fixed number of equivalence classes and specify a partial order among th ..."

Speculative Lock Elision: Enabling Highly Concurrent Multithreaded Execution
, 2001
"... Serialization of threads due to critical sections is a fundamental bottleneck to achieving high performance in multithreaded programs. Dynamically, such serialization may be unnecessary because these critical sections could have safely executed concurrently without locks. Current processors cannot f ..."

Atomizer: a dynamic atomicity checker for multithreaded programs
- In POPL
, 2004
"... Ensuring the correctness of multithreaded programs is difficult, due to the potential for unexpected interactions between concurrent threads. We focus on the fundamental non-interference property of atomicity and present a dynamic analysis for detecting atomicity violations. This analysis combines i ..."

Transactional Lock-Free Execution of Lock-Based Programs
- In Proceedings of the Tenth International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems
, 2002
"... This paper is motivated by the difficulty in writing correct high-performance programs. Writing shared-memory multithreaded programs imposes a complex trade-off between programming ease and performance, largely due to subtleties in coordinating access to shared data. To ensure correctness programmer ..."

Escape analysis for Java
- OOPSLA
, 1999
"... This paper presents a simple and efficient data flow algorithm for escape analysis of objects in Java programs to determine (i) if an object can be allocated on the stack; (ii) if an object is accessed only by a single thread duriing its lifetime, so that synchronization operations on that object ca ..."

Social Capital: implications for Development Theory
- World Bank Research Observer
, 2000
"... In the 1990s, the idea of social capital—defined here as the norms and networks that enable people to act collectively—enjoyed a remarkable rise to prominence across all the social science disciplines. We trace out the evolution of social capital research as it pertains to economic development, and ..."

We conclude by arguing that a significant virtue of the idea and discourse of social capital is that it helps to bridge orthodox divides among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers
Runtime analysis of atomicity for multi-threaded programs
- IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
, 2006
"... Abstract—Atomicity is a correctness condition for concurrent systems. Informally, atomicity is the property that every concurrent execution of a set of transactions is equivalent to some serial execution of the same transactions. In multithreaded programs, executions of procedures (or methods) can b ..."

type system for specifying and verifying the atomicity of methods in multithreaded Java programs. The atomic type system is a synthesis of Lipton’s theory of reduction and type systems for race detection. We have implemented this atomic type system for Java and used it to check a variety of standard
