Play Research: Concurrency Analysis Platform and Tools for Finding Concurrency Bugs
Description
Learn about the Concurrency Analysis Platform (CAP) from Microsoft Research and how it enables various concurrency bug-finding tools. See a demo of CHESS, a tool built on CAP for finding and reproducing Heisenbugs. Also hear about future tools from Microsoft
Research, including a lightweight data-race detection engine and a tool for finding memory-model errors.
