 ===== Goldilocks ===== ===== Goldilocks =====
 +== Introduction ==
 +Goldilocks is a lockset-based algorithm for precisely computing the happens-before relation and detecting data-races at runtime(dynamic race detection).
  
 +== Dynamic race detection ==
 +    1. Vector clocks
 +       * precisely compute the happens-before relation
 +       * have significantly more overhead
 +    2. Locksets
 +       * imprecise -> may generate false race warnings
 +       * efficient
 +
 +  * **Goldilocks:​**
 +  - precise
 +  - efficient (purely lockset based)
 +
 +  * **Happens-before relation:** Data race occurs between two accesses to a shared variable if they are not ordered by the happens-before relation.
 +
 +  * A concurrent execution δ is represented by a finite sequence
