Advances in Languages and Compilers for Parallel Processing (Research Monographs in Parallel and Distributed Computing)

These twenty-three contributions represent some of the best research on software for parallel computers being done in universities and industry today. Advances in Languages and Compilers for Parallel Processing discusses languages and language extensions, presents two innovative environments for parallel programming, describes techniques for debugging parallel programs, and takes up the important issue of data organization and management during parallel processing. New compiler techniques for parallelizing loops are covered as are new results in code scheduling and new approaches to dependency analysis and representation. The book concludes with an interesting insight into the measurement of parallelism implicit in ordinary programs and methods for dealing with programming and compiling for distributed and shared memory multiprocessors.
