Directed Neuro-Symbolic Stochastic Execution for Verification of Distributed Parallel AI Programs

Distributed parallel Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs expose reliability gaps that conventional testing cannot close: parallel executions are non-deterministic, and AI workloads bring high-dimensional inputs and non-linear operations that defeat fuzzing and symbolic execution in isolation. We present Directed Neuro-Symbolic Stochastic Execution (DNSSE), a hybrid testing framework that couples schedule prediction guided by a Large Language Model (LLM) with symbolic constraint solving and coverage-guided stochastic mutation. We model distributed AI executions as non-deterministic transition systems, specify correctness in linear temporal logic, and prove soundness, bounded completeness, and probabilistic completeness of the hybrid solver, together with an expected-cost analysis of LLM-guided schedule exploration. A scalable implementation on PyTorch and Ray detects 2.9% more concurrency bugs than the strongest baseline and raises average branch coverage from 68.6 % to 91.6 % across five realistic distributed AI benchmarks.
