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.
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.
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.
I would like to present the use of NamedTuples to implement some cool things in SQL Libraries
Scala Fibers, Java Virtual Threads, and Kotlin Coroutines - this talk shows how this elegant solution manifests at three different abstraction levels.
This will be a live coding demonstration of Scala's newest feature set: capture checking.
So, is there a modern solution for web apps that is powerful, simple, and blazingly fast in both CI and the browser? A solution that lets you write in your favorite backend language and is fun? The answer is Datastar!
