Abstract

A hardware and/or software facility for executing a multithreaded program is described. The facility causes each of a plurality of machines to execute the multithreaded program deterministically, such that the deterministic execution of the multithreaded program is replaced across the plurality of machines. The facility detects a problem in the execution of the multithreaded Program by one of the plurality of machines. In response, the facility adjusts the execution of the multithreaded program by at least one of the machines of the plurality.
