We introduce a structure-aware parallel technique for contextbounded analysis of concurrent programs. The key intuition consists in decomposing the set of concurrent traces into symbolic subsets that are separately explored by multiple instances of the same decision procedure running in parallel. The decision procedures work on different partitions of the search space without cooperating, whence distribution follows effortlessly. Our experiments on a selection of complex multi-threaded programs show significant analysis speedups and scalability, and greater performance gains than with general-purpose parallel solvers

Abstract

We introduce a structure-aware parallel technique for contextbounded analysis of concurrent programs. The key intuition consists in decomposing the set of concurrent traces into symbolic subsets that are separately explored by multiple instances of the same decision procedure running in parallel. The decision procedures work on different partitions of the search space without cooperating, whence distribution follows effortlessly. Our experiments on a selection of complex multi-threaded programs show significant analysis speedups and scalability, and greater performance gains than with general-purpose parallel solvers
