초록

OpenMP 디렉티브 프로그램의 디버깅을 위해서 비결정적인 수행결과를 초래하는 경합을 탐지 하는 것은 중요하다. 특히, 프로그램 수행에서 가장 먼저 발생하는 최초경합은 이후에 발생하는 경합에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 효과적인 디버깅을 위해서 반드시 탐지되어야 한다. 그러나 기존의 경합탐지 도구들은 최초경합의 탐지를 보장하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 내포병렬성을 포함한 프로그램을 두 번의 수행으로만 프로그램의 수행 중에 최초경합을 탐지하는 도구를 제시한다. 본 도구의 정당성을 합성프로그램을 이용하여 보이고, 기존 경합탐지 도구와 기능성을 비교한다.

Detecting data races is important for debugging programs with OpenMP directives, because races result in unintended non-deterministic executions of the program. It is especially important to detect the first data races to occur for effective debugging, because the removal of such races may make other affected races disappear or appear. The previous tools for race detecting can not guarantee that detected races are the first races to occur. This paper suggests a tool what detects the first races to occur on the program with nested parallelism using the two-pass on-the-fly technique. To show functionality of this tool, we empirically compare with the previous tools using a set of the synthetic programs with OpenMP directives.
