Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method detect the use of stale data values due to weak consistency between parallel threads on a computer system. A consistency error detection mechanism uses object code injection to build a consistency error detection table during the operation of an application. When the application is paused, the consistency error detection mechanism uses the consistency error detection table to detect consistency errors where stale data is used by the application. The consistency error detection mechanism alerts the user/programmer to the consistency errors in the application program.
