Abstract

A system and method for conducting symbolic partial order reduction for concurrent systems includes determining a guarded independence relation which includes transitions from different threads that are independent for a set of states, when a condition or predicate holds. Partial order reduction is performed using the guarded independence relation to permit automatic pruning of redundant thread interleavings when the guarded independence condition holds.
