Summary of Research

The major goal of our research is the development of fast restructuring compilers for the automatic parallelization of sequential programs. Our objectives are the development of accurate data dependence analysis tests in order to obtain exact data dependence information and to rule out parallelism-restricting false dependences and the design of parallelism detection and scheduling algorithms for the exploitation of the inherent parallelism in sequential programs and their efficient execution on parallel architectures.
