Abstract

This paper describes the design of an interactive system for the semi-automatic transformation of FORTRAN 77 programs into parallel programs for the SUPERNUM machine. The system is characterized by a powerful analysis component, a catalog of MIMD and SIMD parallelization transformations, and a flexible dialog facility. It contains specific knowledge about the parallelization of an important class of numerical algorithms.
