Abstract
An approach is provided in which a set of common instructions are each executed by at least two processor cores. Each of the processor cores queues values resulting from at least one of the common instructions (a critical section). The queued values are compared by a queued comparator. An exception is issued in response to the comparison revealing unequal values having been queued by the processor cores.
