Don't do it inside though, because you'll breathe in poison vapour! Also, some poison remains in the mushroom. Homo sapiens, you crazy bastards.

Determinism Is Not Enough: Making Parallel Programs Reliable with Stable Multithreading | Lambda the Ultimate
http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/4893"Stable multithreading (StableMT) reuses each schedule on a wide range of inputs, mapping all inputs to a dramatically reduced set of schedules. By vastly shrinking the [schedule set], it makes the [concurrency errors] much easier to find." Very good and IIRC not entirely novel: I'm sure I've encountered concolic / symbolic execution papers which attempt to reduce the concurrency search space in this way for the same reason.
