Stencil computations form the backbone of many scientific and engineering simulations by updating each point in a structured grid based on a fixed pattern of neighbouring values. Achieving high ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Compilers are programs that convert computer code written in high-level languages intelligible to humans into low-level instructions executable by machines. But there's more than ...

The basis for all the methods presented in this book is data dependence, a fundamental compiler analysis tool for optimizing programs on high-performance microprocessors and parallel architectures.

All major OEMs and software suppliers of the automotive industry are committed to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). A close look, though, raises questions on the demands ADAS applications ...

This chapter and the next cover the use of dependence to automatically parallelize sequential code. Following the historical development, we begin with parallelism that has no minimum granularity.
