2 (BlueGene/L - Image courtesy of IBM / LLNL) (Image courtesy of Steve Parker, CSAFE, Utah) The scientific community is increasingly employing expensive supercomputers that employ distributed programming libraries…. …to program large-scale simulations in all walks of science, engineering, math, economics, etc. Background

Current Programming Realities Code written using mature libraries (MPI, OpenMP, PThreads, …) Code written using mature libraries (MPI, OpenMP, PThreads, …) API calls made from real programming languages (C, Fortran, C++) API calls made from real programming languages (C, Fortran, C++) Runtime semantics determined by realistic Compilers and Runtimes How best to verify codes that will run on actual platforms? 3

Classical Model Checking Finite State Model of Concurrent Program Check Properties Extraction of Finite State Models for realistic programs is difficult. 4

Dynamic Verification Actual Concurrent Program Check Properties Avoid model extraction which can be tedious and imprecise Program serves as its own model Reduce Complexity through Reduction of interleavings (and other methods) 5

Dynamic Verification Actual Concurrent Program Check Properties One Specific Test Harness  Need test harness in order to run the code.  Will explore ONLY RELEVANT INTERLEAVINGS (all Mazurkeiwicz traces) for the given test harness  Conventional testing tools cannot do this !!  E.g. 5 threads, 5 instructions each  10  interleavings !! 6

Dynamic Verification Actual Concurrent Program Check Properties One Specific Test Harness Need to consider all test harnesses FOR MANY PROGRAMS, this number seems small (e.g. Hypergraph Partitioner) 7

Experiments  ISP was run on 69 examples of the Umpire test suite.  Detected deadlocks in these examples where tools like Marmot cannot detect these deadlocks.  Produced far smaller number of interleavings compared to those without reduction.  ISP run on Game of Life ~ 500 lines code.  ISP run on Parmetis ~ 14k lines of code.  Widely used for parallel partitioning of large hypergraphs  ISP run on MADRE  (Memory aware data redistribution engine by Siegel and Siegel, EuroPVM/MPI 08) Found previously KNOWN deadlock, but AUTOMATICALLY within one second !  Results available at: 20

Concluding Remarks  Tool available (download and try)  Future work  Distributed ISP scheduler  Handle MPI + Threads  Do large-scale bug hunt now that ISP can execute large- scale codes. 21
