Abstract

The existing parallelizing compilers can parallelize most of the loops with uniform dependences, but they do not satisfactorily handle loops with non-uniform dependences. Most of the time, the compiler leaves such loops running sequentially. Unfortunately, loops with non-uniform dependences are not so uncommon in the real world. This paper presents the two parallel region partitioning method of nested loops with non-uniform dependences for maximizing parallelism. By parallelizing anti dependence region using variable re-naming, we will divide the iteration space into two parallel regions by a line in case that FDT (Flow Dependence Tail set) does not overlap FDH (Flow Dependence Head set). Comparison with some related works shows more parallelism than other existing methods.
