Abstract
A method and apparatus for detecting potential memory conflicts in a parallel computing environment by executing two parallel program threads. The parallel program threads include special operands that are used by a processing core to identify memory addresses that have the potential for conflict. These memory addresses are combined into a composite access record for each thread. The composite access records are compared to each other in order to detect a potential memory conflict.
