On Monday, April 02nd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Razya
Ladelsky (IBM HRL):

   Automatic parallelization in GCC

Abstract

With the emergence of multicore architectures there is a growing need for
automatic parallelization, that distributes sequential code into multi
threaded code. OpenMP defines language extensions to C, C++, and Fortran
for implementing multi-threaded shared memory applications. Generation of
such extensions by the compiler relieves programmers from the manual
parallelization process. OpenMP specification has been implemented in GCC,
and is part of the standard release since version 4.2.

In this talk we review the OpenMP and the data dependence support which
serve as the basic infrastructure for the automatic parallelization in GCC.
We describe the capabilities of the automatic parallelization, demonstrated
by some examples, and show its benefits with SPEC2006 experiments. Finally,
we discuss current and future directions of work that may further extend
the optimization's applicability.
