Prevention of a data race in a parallelised program, Operating System

Assignment Help:

Present your own fully documented and tested programming example illustrating the prevention of a data race in a parallelised program.

This is an example where total number of prime number between 2 and 10000 is being calculated. The order of memory accesses is prevented from being non-deterministic and from the code data race is avoided by making it parallelized with OpenMP directives.  The inconsistency can be seen by running the program consecutively for 3 or more times.

 

#include

#include

#include

#define MyThreads 4

#define num 10000

 

   int primeNum[num];

   int primeF[num];

 

   int is_prime(int v)

   {

    int i;

    int lim = floor(sqrt(v)) + 1;

 

    for (i = 2; i < lim; i++) {

           /* no need to check against known composites */

           if (!primeF[i])

               continue;

           if (v % i == 0) {

               primeF[v] = 0;

               return 0;

           }

       }

       return (v > 1);

   }

 

   int main(int argn, char **argv)

   {

       int i;

       int total = 0;

            printf("Enter a number greater than 2");

            scanf("%d", &num)

   #ifdef _OPEnumMP

       omp_set_dynamic(0);

       omp_set_num_threads(MyThreads);

   #endif

 

       for (i = 0; i < num; i++) {

           primeF[i] = 1;

       }

 

       #pragma omp parallel for

       for (i = 2; i < num; i++) {

           if ( is_prime(i) ) {

               primeNum[total] = i;

               total++;

           }

       }

        printf("total prime numbers that lie between 2 and %d: %d\n",

              num, total);

       return 0;

   }
