This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project.
Building resilient and scalable distributed systems is necessary to support emerging and future digital services processing increasing amounts of data and requiring increasing amounts of computing resources to support artificial intelligence. One challenge in building such systems is safe large-scale concurrency. Due to the inherent nondeterminism of concurrent programs, it is notoriously difficult to find, reproduce, and fix concurrency bugs.
This talk presents McCCT, a new concurrency testing tool developed at KTH by the speakers in the context of an ongoing research project. McCCT helps find concurrency hazards, such as race conditions and deadlocks, by systematically exploring the possible schedules of concurrent Scala programs. Importantly, McCCT supports replaying problematic schedules, aiding in the reproduction of concurrency bugs. In addition, the tool provides a scheduler that can enforce a sequential schedule, enabling deterministic execution, suitable for integration in unit test suites.
The talk will start with an overview of McCCT and its capabilities from the user's perspective. Using live coding, we will show how to use McCCT to find and replay a series of concurrency bugs in real-world concurrent code. After that, we will explain how the tool can be used to create powerful regression tests for concurrent code. At the end, the talk will provide an introduction to the inner workings of McCCT.
Do you like it when compiler generates the boring code for you? Fast, mundane, boring-but-error-prone code? Do you need to implement such a code generator yourself? Have you found out that Shapeless/Mirrors bend your brain a bit too much?
Protobuf is commonly associated with code generation. However, in large projects with tens of thousands of message definitions, this approach can lead to an overwhelming amount of generated code. In this talk, I’ll share my journey in search of a different approach to this problem.
In this talk, I will introduce the highlights of what to look forward to in Scala 3.9 LTS, as well as how to think about the upcoming new release.
Drawing from multiple Scala LLM workshops we conducted this past year, I will share insights to significantly enhance your AI experience.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with Scalar community and create lasting memories!
Writing client-facing APIs involves mundane tasks, whether it be REST, GraphQL, or gRPC. In this talk, I will pick two repetitive tasks during API development and demonstrate how we can utilize Scala to automate the most boring parts.
