{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"In this work we solve the algorithmic problem of consistency verification for the TSO and PSO memory models given a reads-from map, denoted VTSO-rf and VPSO-rf, respectively. For an execution of n events over k threads and d variables, we establish novel bounds that scale as nk+1 for TSO and as nk+1· min(nk2, 2k· d) for PSO. Moreover, based on our solution to these problems, we develop an SMC algorithm under TSO and PSO that uses the RF equivalence. The algorithm is exploration-optimal, in the sense that it is guaranteed to explore each class of the RF partitioning exactly once, and spends polynomial time per class when k is bounded. Finally, we implement all our algorithms in the SMC tool Nidhugg, and perform a large number of experiments over benchmarks from existing literature. Our experimental results show that our algorithms for VTSO-rf and VPSO-rf provide significant scalability improvements over standard alternatives. Moreover, when used for SMC, the RF partitioning is often much coarser than the standard Shasha-Snir partitioning for TSO/PSO, which yields a significant speedup in the model checking task.\r\n\r\n"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","keyword":["safety","risk","reliability and quality","software"],"day":"15","publisher":"Association for Computing Machinery","type":"journal_article","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","relation":"dissertation_contains","id":"10199"}]},"user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","file_date_updated":"2021-11-04T07:24:48Z","intvolume":"         5","oa":1,"title":"The reads-from equivalence for the TSO and PSO memory models","ddc":["000"],"tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"article_type":"original","quality_controlled":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2011.11763"]},"date_published":"2021-10-15T00:00:00Z","doi":"10.1145/3485541","ec_funded":1,"citation":{"apa":"Bui, T.
