Abstract
This document describes a dynamic data race detector that utilizes adaptive sampling techniques. The adaptive sampling techniques include locating threads during execution of a multi-threaded program and identifying thread-specific hot paths, thread-specific cold paths and lockset paths during execution of the program. Once these paths are identified, they are sampled, potentially at different rates. Any information gained during the sampling may be stored in a data race log, which a developer may use to correct any identified program bugs.
