Hello,



About dynamic race detectors in concurrent computing..


There is two kind of dynamic race detectors with:

1- Happens-before relation

- The first to be invented, due to Lamport, depends on actual thread interleavings
- Serious runtime overhead
- No false positives


2- Lockset analysis

- Does not depend on thread interleavings
- Simpler and more efficient
- No false negatives


Modern tools combine the Lockset and happens before analysis
to achieve the benefits of both, examples: Intel Thread Checker, Sun ThreadAnalyser.

for Data Race Detection:

Thank you,
