Overview:

Java PathFinder (JPF) is an explicit-state model checker for Java programs. It explores all executions that a given program can have due to different thread interleavings and nondeterministic choices. JPF implements a backtracking Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that executes Java bytecodes using a special representation of JVM states. This special representation enables JPF to quickly store, restore, and compare states; it is crucial for making the overall state exploration efficient. However, this special representation creates overhead for each execution, even execution of deterministic blocks that have no thread interleavings or nondeterministic choices. This paper proposes mixed execution, a technique that reduces execution time of deterministic blocks in JPF.
