Project description

The project will investigate and develop a programming tool for parallelism discovery in order to help the

programmer to identify code regions that can benefit from thread-level parallelism. The project will also propose and develop new automatic parallelization techniques that are applicable to typical general-purpose applications, featuring irregular control flow, explicit pointer manipulation, frequent use of I/O, etc.
