- In an earlier post I mentioned that one goal of the new introductory curriculum at Carnegie Mellon is to teach parallelism as the general case of computing, rather than an esoteric, specialized subject for advanced students. Many people are incredulous when I tell them this, because it immediately conjures in their mind the myriad complexities…
- Discusses a way to separate/split the object heaps of browsers windows. Related to encapsulation and locality.
- I recently diagnosed the root cause of a concurrency bug, CR6822370, and thought it sufficiently interesting to share the details. (CR 6822370 actually represents a cluster of bugs that are now thought to be related by a common underlying issue). Briefly, we have a lost wakeup bug in the native C++ Parker::park() platform-specific infrastructure code that implements java.util.concurrent.LockSupport.park(). The lost wakeup arises from a race that itself arises because of architectural reordering that in turn occurs because of missing memory barrier instructions. The lost wakeup may manifest as various 'hangs' or instances of progress failure.
