Next: The story so far

Note: Dispatcher can choose to run each thread to completion, or time-slice in big chunks, or time slice so that each thread executes only one instruction at a time (simulating a multiprocessor, where each CPU operates in lockstep).

If this is possible, programs must work under all cases, for all interleavings!!!. How can you know whether all interleavings will work ? and more importantly, how do you know if your concurrent program works ?
