Abstract
Exposing and reproduction of race conditions is presented herein. A method identifies a synchronization mechanism of a grouping of operating system synchronization mechanisms; based on a tunable probability value, adjusts a race window associated with the synchronization mechanism; and based on the race window, raises a likelihood of revealing a race condition.
