Abstract. Concurrent data structures with fine-grained synchroniza-
tion are notoriously difficult to implement correctly. The difficulty of
reasoning about these implementations does not stem from the number
of variables or the program size, but rather from the large number of pos-
sible interleavings. These implementations are therefore prime candidates
for model checking. We introduce an algorithm for verifying linearizabil-
