Abstract

The property analysis of subscript arrays can be used to facilitate the automatic detection of parallelism in sparse/irregular programs that use indirectly accessed arrays. In order for property analysis to work, array reaching definition information is needed. In this paper, we present a framework to efficiently calculate the array reaching definition. This method is designed to handle the common program patterns in real programs. We use some available techniques as the building components, such as data dependence tests and array summary set representations and operations. Our method is more efficient as well as more flexible than the existing techniques.
