Who's Doing What

Research Problem

I'll do 'Research Problem' and help out with the 'Critique' section, the professor said that part was pretty big Nshires 20:45, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Contribution

What are the research contribution(s) of this work? Specifically, what are the key research results, and what do they mean? (What was implemented? Why is it any better than what came before?)

I've noticed a couple things for controversy, even though its not my topic The biggest thing i saw was that dataCollider reports non-erroneous operations 90% of the time. This makes the user have to sift through all of the reports to separate the problems from the benign races. Achamney 17:18, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Proving that DataCollider is better:
The key part of the contribution of this essay is its competition. The research team for DataCollider looked at several other implementations of race condition testers to find ways of improving their own program, or to look for different ways of solving the same problem.

Some of the programs that were referenced were:

Eraser: A Dynamic Data Race Detector for Multithreaded Programs
RaceTrack: Efficient Detection of Data Race Conditions via Adaptive Tracking
PACER: Proportional Detection of Data Races
LiteRace: Effective Sampling for Lightweight Data-Race Detection
FastTrack: Efficient and Precise Dynamic Race Detection
MultiRace: Efficient on-the-fly data race detection in multithreaded C++ programs
RacerX: Effective, Static Detection of Race Conditions and Deadlocks

Eraser: A Dynamic Data Race Detector for Multithreaded Programs
lock-set based reasoning

RaceTrack: Efficient Detection of Data Race Conditions via Adaptive Trackins
combo of lock-set and happens-before reasoning

MultiRace: Efficient on-the-fly data race detection in multithreaded C++ programs
combo of lock-set and happens-before reasoning

PACER: Proportional Detection of Data Races
happens-before reasoning

LiteRace: Effective Sampling for Lightweight Data-Race Detection

Background Concepts

Hey guys, sorry I'm late to the party. I'll get started with Background Concepts. - Austin Bondio 15:33, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Critique

I'll work on the critique which will probably need more then one person and I'll also fill out the paper information section.--Azemanci 18:42, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
