Decisive Markov Chains

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Noomene Ben Henda ; Richard Mayr.

We consider qualitative and quantitative verification problems for infinite-state Markov chains. We call a Markov chain decisive w.r.t. a given set of target states F if it almost certainly eventually reaches either F or a state from which F can no longer be reached. While all finite Markov chains&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Sampled Semantics of Timed Automata

Pavel Krcal ; Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Wang Yi.

Sampled semantics of timed automata is a finite approximation of their dense time behavior. While the former is closer to the actual software or hardware systems with a fixed granularity of time, the abstract character of the latter makes it appealing for system modeling and verification. We study&nbsp;[&hellip;]

A Load-Buffer Semantics for Total Store Ordering

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Mohamed Faouzi Atig ; Ahmed Bouajjani ; Tuan Phong Ngo.

We address the problem of verifying safety properties of concurrent programs running over the Total Store Order (TSO) memory model. Known decision procedures for this model are based on complex encodings of store buffers as lossy channels. These procedures assume that the number of processes is&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Mending Fences with Self-Invalidation and Self-Downgrade

Parosh Aziz Abdulla ; Mohamed Faouzi Atig ; Stefanos Kaxiras ; Carl Leonardsson ; Alberto Ros ; Yunyun Zhu.

Cache coherence protocols based on self-invalidation and self-downgrade have recently seen increased popularity due to their simplicity, potential performance efficiency, and low energy consumption. However, such protocols result in memory instruction reordering, thus causing extra program behaviors&nbsp;[&hellip;]
