A Concurrent Logical Relation
| pdf-format: |
|
Abstract
We present a logical relation for showing the correctness of programtransformations based on a new type-and-effect system for a concurrent
extension of an ML-like language with higher-order functions,
higher-order store and dynamic memory allocation.
We show how to use our model to verify a number of interesting program
transformations that rely on effect annotations. In particular, we
prove a Parallelization Theorem, which expresses when it is sound to
run two expressions in parallel instead of sequentially. The
conditions are expressed solely in terms of the types and effects of
the expressions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such
result for a concurrent higher-order language with higher-order store
and dynamic memory allocation.
