Download or read book Enhanced Debugging of Data Races in Parallel Programs Using OPENMP written by Marcus W. Hervey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallel computing is pervasive. The variety and number of parallel hardware architectures increase daily. As this technology evolves, parallel developers will need productivity enhancing tools to analyze, debug, and tune their parallel applications. Current debugging tools that excel for sequential programs do not have the features necessary to help locate errors common to parallel programs (i.e. deadlock, livelock, priority inversion, race conditions). Data races, one type of race condition, are the most common software fault in shared-memory programs, and can be difficult to find because they are nondeterministic. Current data-race detection tools are often plagued by numerous false-positives and may exhibit inefficient execution times and memory loads. Enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of data race detectors can both increase the acceptance of shared memory programming models like OpenMP and improve developer productivity. I describe a complementary analysis technique to detect data races in parallel programs using the OpenMP programming model. This hybrid-analysis technique capitalizes on the strengths of stand-alone static and dynamic data-race detection methods. A proposed, future tool would implement the static-analysis capabilities of the OpenUH compiler to complement the dynamic-analysis techniques used in Sun (now Oracle) Thread Analyzer. This combination is expected to result in an improved debugging experience for developers intending to resolve data-race errors resulting from poor-programmer discipline, erroneous synchronization or inappropriate data-scoping.

Download or read book OpenMP Shared Memory Parallel Programming written by Rudolf Eigenmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-05-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the presentations given at the Workshop on OpenMP App- cations and Tools, WOMPAT 2001. The workshop was held on July 30 and 31, 2001 at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. It brought together designers, users, and researchers of the OpenMP application programming int- face. OpenMP has emerged as the standard for shared memory parallel progr- ming. For the rst time, it is possible to write parallel programs that are portable across the majority of shared memory parallel computers. WOMPAT 2001 s- ved as a forum for all those interested in OpenMP and allowed them to meet, share ideas and experiences, and discuss the latest developments of OpenMP and its applications. WOMPAT 2001 was co-sponsored by the OpenMP Architecture Review Board (ARB). It followed a series of workshops on OpenMP, including WOMPAT 2000, EWOMP 2000, and WOMPEI 2000. For WOMPAT 2001, we solicited papers formally and published them in the form of this book. The authors submitted extended abstracts, which were reviewed by the program committee. All submitted papers were accepted. The authors were asked to prepare a nal paper in which they addressed the reviewers comments. The proceedings, in the form of this book, were created in time to be available at the workshop. In this way, we hope to have brought out a timely report of ongoing OpenMP-related research and development e orts as well as ideas for future improvements.
