- The theory of "stable identifiers for memory accesses across runs" described in this post is generally called "Execution Indexing" [1], and the exact formulation described in this post (using count-augmented stack traces) has actually been used for deadlock fuzzing in the past [2]. Interesting to see the visualization in a GUI.
