  • System and method for automatic parallelization of sequential code
    Patent number: 7797691
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for automatically transforming essentially sequential code into a plurality of codes which are to be executed in parallel to achieve the same or equivalent result to the sequential code. User-defined task boundaries are determined in the input code to thereby define a plurality of tasks. It is then determined if the essentially sequential application code can be separated at at least one of said user-defined tasks boundaries and if so at least one code of the plurality of codes for at least one of said tasks is automatically generated.
    Type: Grant
