A fundamental problem in the analysis of parallel programs is to determine when two statements in a program may run concurrently. This analysis is the parallel analog to control flow analysis on serial programs and is useful in detecting parallel programming errors and as a precursor to semantics-preserving code transformations. We consider the problem of analyzing parallel programs that access shared memory and use barrier synchronization, specifically those with textually aligned barriers and single-valued expressions. We present an intermediate graph representation for parallel programs and an efficient interprocedural analysis algorithm that conservatively computes the set of all concurrent statements. We improve the precision of this algorithm by using context-free language reachability to ignore infeasible program paths. We then apply the algorithms to static race detection and show that it can benefit from the concurrency information provided. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
