Taskgrind: Heavyweight Dynamic Binary Instrumentation for Parallel Programs Analysis

Résumé

Determinacy races are concurrent programming hazards occurring when two accesses on the same memory address are not ordered, and at least one is writing. Their presence hints at a correctness error, particularly under asynchronous task-based parallel programming models. This paper introduces Taskgrind: a Valgrind tool for memory access analysis of parallel programming models such as Cilk or OpenMP. We illustrate the tool's capabilities with a determinacy-race analysis and confront it with state-of-the-art tools. Results show fewer false negatives and memory overheads on a set of microbenchmarks and LULESH, with meaningful error reports toward assisting programmers when parallelizing programs.
