Abstract

Testing is a crucial element of software development. As OpenMP becomes more widely used, a relevant question for developers is: How will programs, that have been parallelized with OpenMP, be tested for correctness? OpenMP programs are concurrent programs and as such all the risks of concurrent programming are present as well. This paper presents some observations about testing parallelized loops using OpenMP.
