Implementing and Evaluating Candidate-Based Invariant Generation
The discovery of inductive invariants lies at the heart of static program verification. Presently, many automatic solutions to inductive invariant generation are inflexible, only applicable to certain classes of programs, or unpredictable. An automatic technique that circumvents these deficiencies to some extent is candidate-based invariant generation, whereby a large number of candidate invari...

متن کاملPRAND: GPU accelerated parallel random number generation library: Using most reliable algorithms and applying parallelism of modern GPUs and CPUs
The library PRAND for pseudorandom number generation for modern CPUs and GPUs is presented. It contains both single-threaded and multi-threaded realizations of a number of modern and most reliable generators recently proposed and studied in [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and the efficient SIMD realizations proposed in [6]. One of the useful features for using PRAND in parallel simulations is the ability to in...
متن کاملComparative analysis of multi-threading on different operating systems applied on digital image processing
This work presents a comparative analysis of parallel image convolution implementations based on the shared-variable programming model. Those implementations use explicit compiler directives from multi-thread support libraries. The comparison between implementations was done in Windows and Linux operating systems. It considered both performance and programmability. The performance was analyzed ...
متن کاملAn efficient high quality random number generator for multi-programmed systems
This document presents an efficient, high quality random number generator for multi-programmed environments, in particular for UNIX/Linux and Windows systems. The algorithm uses a system’s notion of the time, given by a high-precision real-time counter, to obtain random bits, and a combination of system calls to reduce the correlation between consecutive random bits. The combination of system c...
