NUAPC: A parallelizing compiler for C++

  • Published:
Journal of Computer Science and Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper presents a model for automatically parallelizing compiler based on C++ which consists of compile-time and run-time parallelizing facilities. The paper also describes a method for finding both intra-object and inter-object parallelism. The parallelism detection is completely transparent to users.
