DataRaceBench is a benchmark suite designed to systematically and quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of data race detection tools. It includes a set of microbenchmarks with and without data races. Parallelism is represented by OpenMP directives. OpenMP is a popular parallel programming model for multi-threaded applications.
Note that some microbenchmarks use OpenMP 4.5 and 5.0 features. You may need a recent OpenMP compiler to compile them.
DataRaceBench also comes with an evaluation script (check-data-races.sh). The script can be used to evaluate the tools Helgrind, Archer, Thread Sanitizer, Intel Inspector, and Coderrect Scanner. In addition a parameterized test harness (scripts/test-harness.sh) is available which allows to provide a number of different parameters for the evaluation. The test harness is used by the evaluation script with some pre-defined values.
