Detection of Recurrences in Sequential Programs with Loops

Presents a new technique to parallelize nested loops at the statement level. It transforms sequential nested loops, either vectorizable or not, into parallel ones. Previously, the wavefront method was used to parallelize non-vectorizable nested loops. ...

Much of the previous work on modulo scheduling has targeted numeric programs, in which, often, the majority of the loops are well-behaved loop-counter-based loops without early exits. In control-intensive non-numeric programs, the loops frequently have ...

Software pipelining is a technique to improve the performance of a loop by overlapping the execution of several iterations. The execution of a software-pipelined loop goes through three phases: prolog, kernel, and epilog. Software pipelining works best ...
