Abstract

The GCD and Banerjee tests are the standard data dependence tests used to determinewhether a loop may be parallelized/vectorized. In an earlier work, (1991) the authorspresented a new data dependence test, the I test, which extends the accuracy of theGCD and the Banerjee tests. In the original presentation, only the case of generaldependence was considered, i.e., the case of dependence with a direction vector of theform (*,*,...,*). In the present work, the authors generalize the I test to check for datadependence subject to an arbitrary direction vector.
