Syllubus

This class teaches concurrent programming techniques and concurrent program analysis techniques for shared memory based target systems in C/C++ or Java programming language. This  class will be co-taught by Prof. Jaehyuk Huh and Prof. Moonzoo Kim. Prof. Huh will teach concurrent programming techniques in the first half of the semester and Prof. Kim will teach concurrent program analysis techniques in the second half.

Course Material

  • Reading list
  • Related tool list
    • Spin home page
      • Installation guideline for the windows platforms
        • cygwin for Spin verification
          • download the 32bit version (because the distributed spin binary is 32 bit version) and
          • check and install devel->gcc-core at the installation step
          • add the cygwin bin directory (e.g., c:\cygwin\bin) and the spin directory (e.g.,c:\spin) to the system path environment variable
        • activeTCL for Spin GUI
