Designing and developing tools to automatically identify parallelism

Abstract: In this work we present a dynamic analysis tool for analyzing regions of code and how those regions depend between each other via data dependencies encountered during the execution of the program. We also present an abstract method to analyze and study parallelism in a directed graph, by studying a Quotient Graph of the execution graph of a program, and give a simple algorithm for searching parallelism in execution graphs with a high degree of symmetry. Finally, we evaluate our approach selecting four dwarfs out of 13 Berkeleys computational dwarfs or otherwise known as parallel patterns.
