We consider the problem of detecting data races in program traces that
have been compressed using straight line programs (SLP), which are
special context-free grammars that generate exactly one string, namely
the trace that they represent. We consider two classical approaches to
race detection — using the happens-before relation and the lockset
discipline. We present algorithms for both these methods that run in
time that is linear in the size of the compressed, SLP representation.
Typical program executions almost always exhibit patterns that
lead to significant compression. Thus, our algorithms are expected to
result in large speedups when compared with analyzing the uncompressed
trace. Our experimental evaluation of these new algorithms on
standard benchmarks confirms this observation.
