The number of interleavings that a concurrent program can have is typically given as the key difficulty in automatic analysis of concurrent software. Weak memory, as implemented by modern multiprocessors such as Intel x86, IBM Power and ARM, is generally believed to make this problem even harder. On the contrary, we believe that by embracing rather than fleeing from weak memory, we can obtain e...
متن کاملWhen every $P$-flat ideal is flat
In this paper, we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings. In particular, Von Neumann regular rings, hereditary rings, semi-hereditary ring, PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings. In the context domain, this notion coincide with Pr"{u}fer domain. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for...
