Abstract

This paper presents an overview of automatic program parallelization techniques. It covers dependence analysis techniques, followed by a discussion of program transformations, including straight-line code parallelization, do loop transformations, and parallelization of recursive routines. The last section of the paper surveys several experimental studies on the effectiveness of parallelizing compilers.
