    Abstract: The present invention provides for automating identification of critical regions in memory. A behavioural software reference model of an operating system is certified as substantially error free. The behavioural software reference model is run of operating system. At least one access pattern of the behavioural software reference model is monitored. A cycle accurate software reference model of operating system is run. At least one access pattern of the cycle accurate software reference model is monitored.
