  • Patent number: 9430232
    Abstract: In a system according to any one of embodiments, program structure information may include interval information. Each interval information may include source code position information indicating a successive region on a source code of a target program and parent-child information for specifying a parent-child relationship with respect to the interval information. The program structure information may include a reference interval without a parent. A processing unit may specify the number of parents existing between each interval information and the reference interval as a depth of each interval information from the reference interval, and create display information by arranging the interval information on a coordinate system defined by a first axis representing depth from the reference interval and a second axis representing the parent-child relationship based on the depth from the reference and the parent-child information.

  • Patent number: 9384070
    Abstract: A system according to an embodiment is configured to display program execution results with respect to a common axis. The system includes a first unit that acquires event information about two or more events, acquires reference-event identification information to be used in identifying reference events, and generates event objects which represent the events, and a second unit that acquires axis information which represents information about the common axis. The event information contains timing information indicating positions of the events. The first unit sets the reference events as references for the program execution results based on the acquired reference-event identification information, determines display positions of the reference events with respect to the common axis to be same position based on timing information in event information about the reference events, and generates event objects representing the reference events based on the determined display positions with respect to the common axis.

  • Patent number: 8799881
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a parallelizing unit divides a loop into first and second processes based on a program to be converted and division information. The first and second processes respectively have termination control information, loop control information, and change information. The parallelizing unit inserts into the first process a determination process determining whether the second process is terminated at execution of an (n?1)th iteration of the second process when the second process is subsequent to the first process or determining whether the second process is terminated at execution of an nth iteration of the second process when the second process precedes the first process. The parallelizing unit inserts into the second process a control process controlling execution of the second process based on the result of determination notified by the determination process.

  • Patent number: 8732684
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a first program code including a plurality of variables is converted to a second program code to be executed by a multi-core processor including a plurality of cores. Specifically, an access pattern of each variable in the first program code is decided. All variables in the first program code are classified into a plurality of groups each of which variables belong to the same access pattern. A member structure of each group having variables belonging to the same access pattern is created. Each member structure includes variables of one group. A route-pointer indicating an address (in a memory) of variables of the member structure is created. The variables in the first program code are converted to the member structure and the route-pointer (in the second program code) that indicate the variables. The second program code is outputted to the multi-core processor.

  • Patent number: 8688918
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a program converting device includes an access attribute determining unit, a non-sharing target classifying unit, and a converting unit. The access attribute determining unit calculates exclusive accesses from memory accesses by threads forming a source program and determines a memory access using a cache memory among the calculated exclusive accesses. The non-sharing target classifying unit determines an access data item that does not share a cache line with another access data item among the access data items that are accessed using the cache memories. The converting unit inserts a process that does not share the cache line into the source program based on the determination result of the non-sharing target classifying unit.
