Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the SUIF compiler, which automatically parallelizes and optimizes sequential programs for shared-memory multiprocessors. We describe new technology in this system for locating coarse-grain parallelism and for optimizing multiprocessor memory behavior essential to obtaining good multiprocessor performance. These techniques have a significant impact on the performance of half of the NAS and SPECfp95 benchmark suites. In particular, we achieve the highest SPECfp95 ratio to date of 63.9 on an eight-processor 440MHz Digital AlphaServer. 1 Introduction Affordable shared-memory multiprocessors can potentially deliver supercomputer-like performance to the general public. Today, these machines are mainly used in a multiprogramming mode, increasing system throughput by running several independent applications in parallel. The multiple processors can also be used together to accelerate the execution of single applications. Automatic parallelization is a promis...
