Design and Implementation of a Parallelism Detector for CONVEX SPP-1000 System

Abstract

In this paper we implement a robust parallelism detector for CONVEX SPP-1000 shared-memory multiprocessor system. The parallelism detector is improved by combining the PPD and K-Test that both are our previous research results. The detector can extract the available parallelism on loop of a program and translate the original program into parallel form by using CONVEX compiler directive. Then, the result program can be run on CONVEX SPP-1000 system to achieve high speedup rates.
