Description

Internal types and functions for dynamic partial-order reduction. This module is NOT considered to form part of the public interface of this library.

Synopsis

Dynamic partial-order reduction

data DPOR tid action Source #

DPOR execution is represented as a tree of states, characterised by the decisions that lead to that state.

Constructors

DPOR 

Fields

  • dporRunnable :: Set tid

    What threads are runnable at this step.

  • dporTodo :: Map tid Bool

    Follow-on decisions still to make, and whether that decision was added conservatively due to the bound.

  • dporDone :: Map tid (DPOR tid action)

    Follow-on decisions that have been made.

  • dporSleep :: Map tid action

    Transitions to ignore (in this node and children) until a dependent transition happens.

  • dporTaken :: Map tid action

    Transitions which have been taken, excluding conservatively-added ones. This is used in implementing sleep sets.

  • dporAction :: Maybe action

    What happened at this step. This will be Nothing at the root, Just everywhere else.

Instances

(NFData tid, NFData action) => NFData (DPOR tid action) Source # 

Methods

rnf :: DPOR tid action -> () #

data BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state Source #

One step of the execution, including information for backtracking purposes. This backtracking information is used to generate new schedules.

Constructors

BacktrackStep 

Fields

Instances

(Show tid, Show action, Show lookahead, Show state) => Show (BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state) Source # 

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state -> ShowS #

show :: BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state -> String #

showList :: [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state] -> ShowS #

(NFData tid, NFData action, NFData lookahead, NFData state) => NFData (BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state) Source # 

Methods

rnf :: BacktrackStep tid action lookahead state -> () #

initialState :: Ord tid => tid -> DPOR tid action Source #

Initial DPOR state, given an initial thread ID. This initial thread should exist and be runnable at the start of execution.

findSchedulePrefix Source #

Arguments

:: Ord tid 
=> (tid -> Bool)

Some partitioning function, applied to the to-do decisions. If there is an identifier which passes the test, it will be used, rather than any which fail it. This allows a very basic way of domain-specific prioritisation between otherwise equal choices, which may be useful in some cases.

-> (Int -> (Int, g))

List indexing function, used to select which schedule to return. Takes the length of the list, and returns an index and some generator state. The index returned MUST be in range!

-> DPOR tid action 
-> Maybe ([tid], Bool, Map tid action, g) 

Produce a new schedule prefix from a DPOR tree. If there are no new prefixes remaining, return Nothing. Also returns whether the decision was added conservatively, and the sleep set at the point where divergence happens.

A schedule prefix is a possibly empty sequence of decisions that have already been made, terminated by a single decision from the to-do set. The intent is to put the system into a new state when executed with this initial sequence of scheduling decisions.

type Trace tid action lookahead = [(Decision tid, [(tid, NonEmpty lookahead)], action)] Source #

One of the outputs of the runner is a Trace, which is a log of decisions made, all the runnable threads and what they would do, and the action a thread took in its step.

incorporateTrace Source #

Arguments

:: Ord tid 
=> state

Initial state

-> (state -> (tid, action) -> state)

State step function

-> (state -> (tid, action) -> (tid, action) -> Bool)

Dependency function

-> Bool

Whether the "to-do" point which was used to create this new execution was conservative or not.

-> Trace tid action lookahead

The execution trace: the decision made, the runnable threads, and the action performed.

-> DPOR tid action 
-> DPOR tid action 

Add a new trace to the tree, creating a new subtree branching off at the point where the "to-do" decision was made.

findBacktrackSteps Source #

Arguments

:: Ord tid 
=> s

Initial state.

-> (s -> (tid, action) -> s)

State step function.

-> (s -> (tid, action) -> (tid, lookahead) -> Bool)

Dependency function.

-> ([BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s] -> Int -> tid -> [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s])

Backtracking function. Given a list of backtracking points, and a thread to backtrack to at a specific point in that list, add the new backtracking points. There will be at least one: this chosen one, but the function may add others.

-> Bool

Whether the computation was aborted due to no decisions being in-bounds.

-> Seq (NonEmpty (tid, lookahead), [tid])

A sequence of threads at each step: the nonempty list of runnable threads (with lookahead values), and the list of threads still to try. The reason for the two separate lists is because the threads chosen to try will be dependent on the specific domain.

-> Trace tid action lookahead

The execution trace.

-> [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s] 

Produce a list of new backtracking points from an execution trace. These are then used to inform new "to-do" points in the DPOR tree.

Two traces are passed in to this function: the first is generated from the special DPOR scheduler, the other from the execution of the concurrent program.

If the trace ends with any threads other than the initial one still runnable, a dependency is imposed between this final action and everything else.

incorporateBacktrackSteps Source #

Arguments

:: Ord tid 
=> ([(Decision tid, action)] -> (Decision tid, lookahead) -> Bool)

Bound function: returns true if that schedule prefix terminated with the lookahead decision fits within the bound.

-> [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s]

Backtracking steps identified by findBacktrackSteps.

-> DPOR tid action 
-> DPOR tid action 

Add new backtracking points, if they have not already been visited, fit into the bound, and aren't in the sleep set.

DPOR scheduler

type DPORScheduler tid action lookahead s = Scheduler tid action lookahead (SchedState tid action lookahead s) Source #

A Scheduler where the state is a SchedState.

data SchedState tid action lookahead s Source #

The scheduler state

Constructors

SchedState 

Fields

  • schedSleep :: Map tid action

    The sleep set: decisions not to make until something dependent with them happens.

  • schedPrefix :: [tid]

    Decisions still to make

  • schedBPoints :: Seq (NonEmpty (tid, lookahead), [tid])

    Which threads are runnable at each step, and the alternative decisions still to make.

  • schedIgnore :: Bool

    Whether to ignore this execution or not: True if the execution is aborted due to all possible decisions being in the sleep set, as then everything in this execution is covered by another.

  • schedBoundKill :: Bool

    Whether the execution was terminated due to all decisions being out of bounds.

  • schedDepState :: s

    State used by the dependency function to determine when to remove decisions from the sleep set.

Instances

(Show tid, Show action, Show lookahead, Show s) => Show (SchedState tid action lookahead s) Source # 

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> SchedState tid action lookahead s -> ShowS #

show :: SchedState tid action lookahead s -> String #

showList :: [SchedState tid action lookahead s] -> ShowS #

(NFData tid, NFData action, NFData lookahead, NFData s) => NFData (SchedState tid action lookahead s) Source # 

Methods

rnf :: SchedState tid action lookahead s -> () #

initialSchedState Source #

Arguments

:: s

The initial dependency function state.

-> Map tid action

The initial sleep set.

-> [tid]

The schedule prefix.

-> SchedState tid action lookahead s 

Initial scheduler state for a given prefix

type BoundFunc tid action lookahead = [(Decision tid, action)] -> (Decision tid, lookahead) -> Bool Source #

A bounding function takes the scheduling decisions so far and a decision chosen to come next, and returns if that decision is within the bound.

trueBound :: BoundFunc tid action lookahead Source #

The "true" bound, which allows everything.

type BacktrackFunc tid action lookahead s = [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s] -> Int -> tid -> [BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s] Source #

A backtracking step is a point in the execution where another decision needs to be made, in order to explore interesting new schedules. A backtracking function takes the steps identified so far and a point and a thread to backtrack to, and inserts at least that backtracking point. More may be added to compensate for the effects of the bounding function. For example, under pre-emption bounding a conservative backtracking point is added at the prior context switch.

In general, a backtracking function should identify one or more backtracking points, and then use backtrackAt to do the actual work.

backtrackAt Source #

Arguments

:: Ord tid 
=> (BacktrackStep tid action lookahead s -> Bool)

If this returns True, backtrack to all runnable threads, rather than just the given thread.

-> Bool

Is this backtracking point conservative? Conservative points are always explored, whereas non-conservative ones might be skipped based on future information.

-> BacktrackFunc tid action lookahead s 

Add a backtracking point. If the thread isn't runnable, add all runnable threads. If the backtracking point is already present, don't re-add it UNLESS this would make it conservative.

dporSched Source #

Arguments

:: (Ord tid, NFData tid, NFData action, NFData lookahead, NFData s) 
=> (action -> Bool)

Determine if a thread yielded.

-> (lookahead -> Bool)

Determine if a thread will yield.

-> (s -> (tid, action) -> (tid, action) -> Bool)

Dependency function.

-> (s -> (tid, lookahead) -> NonEmpty tid -> Bool)

Daemon-termination predicate.

-> (s -> (tid, action) -> s)

Dependency function's state step function.

-> BoundFunc tid action lookahead

Bound function: returns true if that schedule prefix terminated with the lookahead decision fits within the bound.

-> DPORScheduler tid action lookahead s 

DPOR scheduler: takes a list of decisions, and maintains a trace including the runnable threads, and the alternative choices allowed by the bound-specific initialise function.

After the initial decisions are exhausted, this prefers choosing the prior thread if it's (1) still runnable and (2) hasn't just yielded. Furthermore, threads which will yield are ignored in preference of those which will not.

This forces full evaluation of the result every step, to avoid any possible space leaks.
