Abstract.We describe a static analysis tool for OpenMP programs integrated into the standard open source Eclipse IDE. It can detect an important class of common data-race errors in OpenMP parallel loop programs by flagging incorrectly specified omp parallel for directives and data races. The analysis is based on the polyhedral model, and covers a class of program fragments called Affine Control Loops (ACLs, or alternatively, Static Control Parts, SCoPs). ompVerify automatically extracts such ACLs from an input C program, and then flags the errors as specific and precise error messages reported to the user. We illustrate the power of our techniques through a number of simple but non-trivial examples with subtle parallelization errors that are difficult to detect, even for expert OpenMP programmers.

This paper addresses the static analysis of an important class of X10 programs, namely those with finish/async parallelism, and affine loops and array reference structure as in the polyhedral model. For such programs our analysis can certify whenever a program is deterministic or flags races.Our key contributions are (i) adaptation of array dataflow analysis from the polyhedral model to programs with finish/async parallelism, and (ii) use of the array dataflow analysis result to certify determinacy. We distinguish our work from previous approaches by combining the precise statement instance-wise and array elementwise analysis capability of the polyhedral model with finish/async programs that are more expressive than doall parallelism commonly considered in the polyhedral literature. We show that our approach is exact (no false negative/positives) and more precise than previous approaches, but is limited to programs that fit the polyhedral model.
