Résumé

Supercomputers are rapidly evolving with now millions of processing units, posing the questions of their programmability. Despite the emergence of more widespread and functional programming models, developing correct and effective parallel applications still remains a complex task. Although debugging solutions have emerged to address this issue, they often come with restrictions. Furthermore , programming model evolutions stress the requirement for a validation tool able to handle hybrid applications. Indeed, as current scientific applications mainly rely on MPI (Message-Passing Interface), new hardwares designed with a larger node-level parallelism advocate for an MPI+X solution with X a shared-memory model like OpenMP. But integrating two different approaches inside the same application can be error-prone leading to complex bugs. In an MPI+X program, not only the correctness of MPI should be ensured but also its interactions with the multi-threaded model. For example, identical MPI collective operations cannot be performed by multiple non-synchronized threads. In this paper, we present an extension of the PARallel COntrol flow Anomaly CHecker (PARCOACH) to enable verification of hybrid HPC applications. Relying on a GCC plugin that combines static and dynamic analysis, the first pass statically verifies the thread level required by an MPI+OpenMP application and outlines execution paths leading to potential deadlocks. Based on this analysis, the code is selectively instrumented, displaying an error and interrupting all processes if the actual scheduling leads to a deadlock situation. Emmanuelle Saillard CEA, DAM,
