Methods, systems, and media for providing determinism in multithreaded programs are provided. In some embodiments, methods for providing determinism in multithreaded programs are provided, the methods comprising: instrumenting a program with: a proxy that: receives inputs to the program; and determines whether a schedule corresponding to a set of input constraints satisfied by the inputs has been memoized; and a replayer that: if it is determined that a schedule corresponding to a set of input constraints satisfied by the inputs has been memoized, processes the inputs by the program according to the schedule.

Methods, systems, and media for providing determinism in multithreaded programs

Methods, systems, and media for protecting applications from races are provided. In some embodiments, methods for protecting applications from races are provided, the methods comprising: adding to at least one cycle of the application an update check to determine when an update to the application is to be made; adding an update engine to the application, wherein the update engine is configured to: receive an update plan that is based on an execution filter that specifies how operations of the application are to be synchronized; and cause synchronization operations to be added to the application based on the update plan that prevent the race from occurring.
