Abstract

In recent years, the research community has made great strides in alias annotations that support parallel programming [1]. Using these techniques, programmers no longer have to guess where aliased mutable state may cause unintended data races or nondeterminism; instead, such problems can simply be eliminated, either at compile time or at runtime. This represents a major advance in the safety and reliability of parallel code.
