What is Understanding Interleaved Code about?

Complex programs often contain multiple, interwoven strands of computation, each responsible for accomplishing a distinct goal. The individual strands responsible for each goal are typically delocalized and overlap rather than being composed in a simple linear sequence. We refer to these code fragments as being interleaved. Interleaving may be intentional-for example, in optimizing a program, a programmer might use some intermediate result for several purposes-or it may creep into a program unintentionally, due to patches, quick fixes, or other hasty maintenance practices. To understand this phenomenon, we have looked at a variety of instances of interleaving in actual programs and have distilled characteristic features. This paper presents our characterization of interleaving and the implications it has for tools that detect certain classes of interleaving and extract the individual strands of computation. Our exploration of interleaving has been done in the context of a case study of a corpus of production mathematical software, written in Fortran from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This paper also describes our experiences in developing tools to detect specific classes of interl
