Historical Parallelizing Compilers

See also: Automatic parallelization tool

Most research compilers for automatic parallelization consider Fortran programs, because Fortran makes stronger guarantees about aliasing than languages such as C. Typical examples are:

  • Paradigm compiler
  • Polaris compiler
  • Rice Fortran D compiler
  • SUIF compiler
  • Vienna Fortran compiler

Famous quotes containing the word historical:

    “Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody’s mom in that she knows what’s best for us. But if you look at the historical record—Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages—you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?”
    —Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
