"... Deadlock is an increasingly pressing concern as the multicore revolution forces parallel programming upon the average programmer. Existing approaches to deadlock impose onerous burdens on developers, entail high runtime performance overheads, or offer no help for unmodified legacy code. Gadara autom ..."

performance overheads (at most 18%), and outperforms a software transactional memory system. Tests on a real application show that Gadara identifies and avoids both previously known and unknown deadlocks while adding performance overheads ranging from negligible to 10%. 1
