Automatic Future-Based Parallelism in Intrepyyd

Hardware requirements are reaching record highs, but in the modern post-Moore computing world hardware improvements are decelerating. With fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data analysis requiring increasing code performance, new approaches must be taken to meet their needs. Instead of improving hardware, a new approach that is efficient for aiding AI and data analysis is adding more hardware for programs to run on, instead of better hardware. Adding more hardware has the advantage of allowing independent processes within the same program to be run in parallel with each other on different hardware in a process known as parallelization. Parallelization can greatly increase program efficiency, and is becoming essential for modern programs. In this paper we propose a method to automatically parallelize non-parallel code, and provide an implementation of it in Intrepyyd, a Python extension designed specifically to improve AI and data analysis code. Improvements will depend on code parallelibility and computing systems, but we expect it to always improve unless code cannot be parallelized.Undergraduat
