GPUs are massively parallel devices that promise a great re- turn of investment at a cost: GPUs are notably difficult to get right. We discuss a static analysis tool for GPU programs, called Faial, that can detect data-races and data-race freedom. We studied a dataset of 191 data-race free programs and found that 98% needs specific thread con- figuration to be analyzable, and that 27% needs user-provided assertions to be analyzable. We also report that Faial was able to find data-races in at least 92% of the kernels with missing assumptions.
