Abstract

This article presents the results of a novel approach to race detection in multi-threaded Java programs. Using a topological approach to reduce the set of objects needing to be observed for data races, we have succeeded in reducing significantly the time needed to do data race detection. Currently, we perform data race detection faster than all known competition. Furthermore, TRaDe can perform data race detection for applications with a high, dynamically varying number of threads through the use of a technique called 'accordion clocks'.
