eric-haibin-lin opened a new issue #17495: Initial inspections for singleton 
thread safety in MXNet
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/issues/17495
 
 
   I roughly skim-through the code base and searched for classes with `::Get` 
method. Some of these class objects are global singletons and have potential 
thread safety issues. I list the initial assessment: 
   
   ### thread safe classes
   These classes are thread safe
   - ::dmlc::Registry<TVMOpConfig> 
   - Engine
   - Storage
   - StorageManager
     - CPUSharedStorageManager
     - GPUPooledStorageManager
     - GPUPooledRoundedStorageManager
     - PinnedMemoryStorage
     - GPUDeviceStorage/NaiveStorageManager
     - CPUDeviceStorage
   - Profiler
   - CustomOpProfiler
   - LazyAllocArray
   
   ### is a thread_local object or contains thread local variables
   The thread safety depends on the lifecycle of the thread. Are there 
alternative ways to avoid them? 
   - ResourceManager
   - MKLDNNStream @PatricZhao @TaoLv
   - Imperative 
   
   ### classes that are not thread safe
   These classes are not thread safe and may cause bugs: 
   - engine::OpenMP 
   - DeviceStorageProfiler 
   - SubgraphBackendRegistry @samskalicky 
   
   I didn't look into C APIs. And there are lots of other thread_local objects 
spreading around in the code base as well.
