text: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in many critical/high-availability
applications. These algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement correctly,
due to asynchronous communication and the occurrence of faults, such as the network
dropping messages or computers crashing. We introduce PSYNC, a domain specific
language based on the Heard-Of model, which views asynchronous faulty systems
as synchronous ones with an adversarial environment that simulates asynchrony
and faults by dropping messages. We define a runtime system for PSYNC that efficiently
executes on asynchronous networks. We formalize the relation between the runtime
system and PSYNC in terms of observational refinement. The high-level lockstep
abstraction introduced by PSYNC simplifies the design and implementation of fault-tolerant
distributed algorithms and enables automated formal verification. We have implemented
an embedding of PSYNC in the SCALA programming language with a runtime system
for asynchronous networks. We show the applicability of PSYNC by implementing
several important fault-tolerant distributed algorithms and we compare the implementation
of consensus algorithms in PSYNC against implementations in other languages in
terms of code size, runtime efficiency, and verification.

text: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in many critical/high-availability
applications. These algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement correctly,
due to asynchronous communication and the occurrence of faults, such as the network
dropping messages or computers crashing. Nonetheless there is surprisingly little
language and verification support to build distributed systems based on fault-tolerant
algorithms. In this paper, we present some of the challenges that a designer has
to overcome to implement a fault-tolerant distributed system. Then we review different
models that have been proposed to reason about distributed algorithms and sketch
how such a model can form the basis for a domain-specific programming language.
Adopting a high-level programming model can simplify the programmer's life and
make the code amenable to automated verification, while still compiling to efficiently
executable code. We conclude by summarizing the current status of an ongoing language
design and implementation project that is based on this idea.

text: Fault-tolerant distributed algorithms play an important role in ensuring the
reliability of many software applications. In this paper we consider distributed
algorithms whose computations are organized in rounds. To verify the correctness
of such algorithms, we reason about (i) properties (such as invariants) of the
state, (ii) the transitions controlled by the algorithm, and (iii) the communication
graph. We introduce a logic that addresses these points, and contains set comprehensions
with cardinality constraints, function symbols to describe the local states of
each process, and a limited form of quantifier alternation to express the verification
conditions. We show its use in automating the verification of consensus algorithms.
In particular, we give a semi-decision procedure for the unsatisfiability problem
of the logic and identify a decidable fragment. We successfully applied our framework
to verify the correctness of a variety of consensus algorithms tolerant to both
benign faults (message loss, process crashes) and value faults (message corruption).

text: "Separation logic (SL) has gained widespread popularity because of its ability
to succinctly express complex invariants of a program’s heap configurations. Several
specialized provers have been developed for decidable SL fragments. However, these
provers cannot be easily extended or combined with solvers for other theories
that are important in program verification, e.g., linear arithmetic. In this paper,
we present a reduction of decidable SL fragments to a decidable first-order theory
that fits well into the satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) framework. We show
how to use this reduction to automate satisfiability, entailment, frame inference,
and abduction problems for separation logic using SMT solvers. Our approach provides
a simple method of integrating separation logic into existing verification tools
that provide SMT backends, and an elegant way of combining SL fragments with other
decidable first-order theories. We implemented this approach in a verification
tool and applied it to heap-manipulating programs whose verification involves
reasoning in theory combinations.\r\n"

text: Depth-Bounded Systems form an expressive class of well-structured transition
systems. They can model a wide range of concurrent infinite-state systems including
those with dynamic thread creation, dynamically changing communication topology,
and complex shared heap structures. We present the first method to automatically
prove fair termination of depth-bounded systems. Our method uses a numerical abstraction
of the system, which we obtain by systematically augmenting an over-approximation
of the system’s reachable states with a finite set of counters. This numerical
abstraction can be analyzed with existing termination provers. What makes our
approach unique is the way in which it exploits the well-structuredness of the
analyzed system. We have implemented our work in a prototype tool and used it
to automatically prove liveness properties of complex concurrent systems, including
nonblocking algorithms such as Treiber’s stack and several distributed processes.
Many of these examples are beyond the scope of termination analyses that are based
on traditional counter abstractions.

text: We describe the design and implementation of P, a domain-specific language
to write asynchronous event driven code. P allows the programmer to specify the
system as a collection of interacting state machines, which communicate with each
other using events. P unifies modeling and programming into one activity for the
programmer. Not only can a P program be compiled into executable code, but it
can also be tested using model checking techniques. P allows the programmer to
specify the environment, used to "close" the system during testing,
as nondeterministic ghost machines. Ghost machines are erased during compilation
to executable code; a type system ensures that the erasure is semantics preserving.
The P language is designed so that a P program can be checked for responsiveness-the
ability to handle every event in a timely manner. By default, a machine needs
to handle every event that arrives in every state. But handling every event in
every state is impractical. The language provides a notion of deferred events
where the programmer can annotate when she wants to delay processing an event.
The default safety checker looks for presence of unhan-dled events. The language
also provides default liveness checks that an event cannot be potentially deferred
forever. P was used to implement and verify the core of the USB device driver
stack that ships with Microsoft Windows 8. The resulting driver is more reliable
and performs better than its prior incarnation (which did not use P); we have
more confidence in the robustness of its design due to the language abstractions
and verification provided by P.

text: "Motivated by the analysis of highly dynamic message-passing systems, i.e.
unbounded thread creation, mobility, etc. we present a framework for the analysis
of depth-bounded systems. Depth-bounded systems are one of the most expressive
known fragment of the π-calculus for which interesting verification problems are
still decidable. Even though they are infinite state systems depth-bounded systems
are well-structured, thus can be analyzed algorithmically. We give an interpretation
of depth-bounded systems as graph-rewriting systems. This gives more flexibility
and ease of use to apply depth-bounded systems to other type of systems like shared
memory concurrency.\r\n\r\nFirst, we develop an adequate domain of limits for
depth-bounded systems, a prerequisite for the effective representation of downward-closed
sets. Downward-closed sets are needed by forward saturation-based algorithms to
represent potentially infinite sets of states. Then, we present an abstract interpretation
framework to compute the covering set of well-structured transition systems. Because,
in general, the covering set is not computable, our abstraction over-approximates
the actual covering set. Our abstraction captures the essence of acceleration
based-algorithms while giving up enough precision to ensure convergence. We have
implemented the analysis in the PICASSO tool and show that it is accurate in practice.
Finally, we build some further analyses like termination using the covering set
as starting point."

text: We study evolutionary game theory in a setting where individuals learn from
each other. We extend the traditional approach by assuming that a population contains
individuals with different learning abilities. In particular, we explore the situation
where individuals have different search spaces, when attempting to learn the strategies
of others. The search space of an individual specifies the set of strategies learnable
by that individual. The search space is genetically given and does not change
under social evolutionary dynamics. We introduce a general framework and study
a specific example in the context of direct reciprocity. For this example, we
obtain the counter intuitive result that cooperation can only evolve for intermediate
benefit-to-cost ratios, while small and large benefit-to-cost ratios favor defection.
Our paper is a step toward making a connection between computational learning
theory and evolutionary game dynamics.

text: Many infinite state systems can be seen as well-structured transition systems
(WSTS), i.e., systems equipped with a well-quasi-ordering on states that is also
a simulation relation. WSTS are an attractive target for formal analysis because
there exist generic algorithms that decide interesting verification problems for
this class. Among the most popular algorithms are acceleration-based forward analyses
for computing the covering set. Termination of these algorithms can only be guaranteed
for flattable WSTS. Yet, many WSTS of practical interest are not flattable and
the question whether any given WSTS is flattable is itself undecidable. We therefore
propose an analysis that computes the covering set and captures the essence of
acceleration-based algorithms, but sacrifices precision for guaranteed termination.
Our analysis is an abstract interpretation whose abstract domain builds on the
ideal completion of the well-quasi-ordered state space, and a widening operator
that mimics acceleration and controls the loss of precision of the analysis. We
present instances of our framework for various classes of WSTS. Our experience
with a prototype implementation indicates that, despite the inherent precision
loss, our analysis often computes the precise covering set of the analyzed system.

text: Cloud computing aims to give users virtually unlimited pay-per-use computing
resources without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure. We present
a new job execution environment Flextic that exploits scal- able static scheduling
techniques to provide the user with a flexible pricing model, such as a tradeoff
between dif- ferent degrees of execution speed and execution price, and at the
same time, reduce scheduling overhead for the cloud provider. We have evaluated
a prototype of Flextic on Amazon EC2 and compared it against Hadoop. For various
data parallel jobs from machine learning, im- age processing, and gene sequencing
that we considered, Flextic has low scheduling overhead and reduces job du- ration
by up to 15% compared to Hadoop, a dynamic cloud scheduler.

text: The static scheduling problem often arises as a fundamental problem in real-time
systems and grid computing. We consider the problem of statically scheduling a
large job expressed as a task graph on a large number of computing nodes, such
as a data center. This paper solves the large-scale static scheduling problem
using abstraction refinement, a technique commonly used in formal verification
to efficiently solve computationally hard problems. A scheduler based on abstraction
refinement first attempts to solve the scheduling problem with abstract representations
of the job and the computing resources. As abstract representations are generally
small, the scheduling can be done reasonably fast. If the obtained schedule does
not meet specified quality conditions (like data center utilization or schedule
makespan) then the scheduler refines the job and data center abstractions and,
again solves the scheduling problem. We develop different schedulers based on
abstraction refinement. We implemented these schedulers and used them to schedule
task graphs from various computing domains on simulated data centers with realistic
topologies. We compared the speed of scheduling and the quality of the produced
schedules with our abstraction refinement schedulers against a baseline scheduler
that does not use any abstraction. We conclude that abstraction refinement techniques
give a significant speed-up compared to traditional static scheduling heuristics,
at a reasonable cost in the quality of the produced schedules. We further used
our static schedulers in an actual system that we deployed on Amazon EC2 and compared
it against the Hadoop dynamic scheduler for large MapReduce jobs. Our experiments
indicate that there is great potential for static scheduling techniques.

text: Concurrent data structures with fine-grained synchronization are notoriously
difficult to implement correctly. The difficulty of reasoning about these implementations
does not stem from the number of variables or the program size, but rather from
the large number of possible interleavings. These implementations are therefore
prime candidates for model checking. We introduce an algorithm for verifying linearizability
of singly-linked heap-based concurrent data structures. We consider a model consisting
of an unbounded heap where each node consists an element from an unbounded data
domain, with a restricted set of operations for testing and updating pointers
and data elements. Our main result is that linearizability is decidable for programs
that invoke a fixed number of methods, possibly in parallel. This decidable fragment
covers many of the common implementation techniques — fine-grained locking, lazy
synchronization, and lock-free synchronization. We also show how the technique
can be used to verify optimistic implementations with the help of programmer annotations.
We developed a verification tool CoLT and evaluated it on a representative sample
of Java implementations of the concurrent set data structure. The tool verified
linearizability of a number of implementations, found a known error in a lock-free
imple- mentation and proved that the corrected version is linearizable.

text: Depth-bounded processes form the most expressive known fragment of the π-calculus
for which interesting verification problems are still decidable. In this paper
we develop an adequate domain of limits for the well-structured transition systems
that are induced by depth-bounded processes. An immediate consequence of our result
is that there exists a forward algorithm that decides the covering problem for
this class. Unlike backward algorithms, the forward algorithm terminates even
if the depth of the process is not known a priori. More importantly, our result
suggests a whole spectrum of forward algorithms that enable the effective verification
of a large class of mobile systems.

text: Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm aimed to offer users pay-per-use computing
resources, while leaving the burden of managing the computing infrastructure to
the cloud provider. We present a new programming and pricing model that gives
the cloud user the flexibility of trading execution speed and price on a per-job
basis. We discuss the scheduling and resource management challenges for the cloud
provider that arise in the implementation of this model. We argue that techniques
from real-time and embedded software can be useful in this context.

text: Cloud computing aims to give users virtually unlimited pay-per-use computing
resources without the burden of managing the underlying infrastructure. We claim
that, in order to realize the full potential of cloud computing, the user must
be presented with a pricing model that offers flexibility at the requirements
level, such as a choice between different degrees of execution speed and the cloud
provider must be presented with a programming model that offers flexibility at
the execution level, such as a choice between different scheduling policies. In
such a flexible framework, with each job, the user purchases a virtual computer
with the desired speed and cost characteristics, and the cloud provider can optimize
the utilization of resources across a stream of jobs from different users. We
designed a flexible framework to test our hypothesis, which is called FlexPRICE
(Flexible Provisioning of Resources in a Cloud Environment) and works as follows.
A user presents a job to the cloud. The cloud finds different schedules to execute
the job and presents a set of quotes to the user in terms of price and duration
for the execution. The user then chooses a particular quote and the cloud is obliged
to execute the job according to the chosen quote. FlexPRICE thus hides the complexity
of the actual scheduling decisions from the user, but still provides enough flexibility
to meet the users actual demands. We implemented FlexPRICE in a simulator called
PRICES that allows us to experiment with our framework. We observe that FlexPRICE
provides a wide range of execution options-from fast and expensive to slow and
cheap-- for the whole spectrum of data-intensive and computation-intensive jobs.
We also observe that the set of quotes computed by FlexPRICE do not vary as the
number of simultaneous jobs increases.

text: Concurrent data structures with fine-grained synchronization are notoriously
difficult to implement correctly. The difficulty of reasoning about these implementations
does not stem from the number of variables or the program size, but rather from
the large number of possible interleavings. These implementations are therefore
prime candidates for model checking. We introduce an algorithm for verifying linearizability
of singly-linked heap-based concurrent data structures. We consider a model consisting
of an unbounded heap where each vertex stores an element from an unbounded data
domain, with a restricted set of operations for testing and updating pointers
and data elements. Our main result is that linearizability is decidable for programs
that invoke a fixed number of methods, possibly in parallel. This decidable fragment
covers many of the common implementation techniques — fine-grained locking, lazy
synchronization, and lock-free synchronization. We also show how the technique
can be used to verify optimistic implementations with the help of programmer annotations.
We developed a verification tool CoLT and evaluated it on a representative sample
of Java implementations of the concurrent set data structure. The tool verified
linearizability of a number of implementations, found a known error in a lock-free
implementation and proved that the corrected version is linearizable.

text: 'Shape analysis is a promising technique to prove program properties about
recursive data structures. The challenge is to automatically determine the data-structure
type, and to supply the shape analysis with the necessary information about the
data structure. We present a stepwise approach to the selection of instrumentation
predicates for a TVLA-based shape analysis, which takes us a step closer towards
the fully automatic verification of data structures. The approach uses two techniques
to guide the refinement of shape abstractions: (1) during program exploration,
an explicit heap analysis collects sample instances of the heap structures, which
are used to identify the data structures that are manipulated by the program;
and (2) during abstraction refinement along an infeasible error path, we consider
different possible heap abstractions and choose the coarsest one that eliminates
the infeasible path. We have implemented this combined approach for automatic
shape refinement as an extension of the software model checker BLAST. Example
programs from a data-structure library that manipulate doubly-linked lists and
trees were successfully verified by our tool.'
