On Extracting Coarse -Grained Function Parallelism From C Programs

155 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2006.We built an in-lining based prototype of the memory data-flow analysis system on top of the IMPACT compiler infrastructure. We applied the prototype to analyze the memory data-flow of several MediaBench programs. The experiment results showed that while the prototype performed reasonably well for the tested programs, the in-lining based implementation may not efficient for larger programs. Also, there is still room in improving the effectiveness of the memory data-flow analysis system. We did root cause analysis for the inaccuracy in the memory data-flow analysis results, which provided us insights on how to improve the memory data-flow analysis system in the future.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD
