Bugs in sequential programs cost the software industry billions of dollars in lost productivity each year. Even if simple parallel programming models are created, they will not reduce the level of sequential bugs in programs below that of sequential programs. It can be argued that the complexity of current parallel programming models may increase the number of sequential bugs in parallel programs because they distract the programmer from the core logic of the program.
Tools exist that identify statements related to sequential bugs and allow those bugs to be more quickly located and fixed. Their use in parallel programs will …
