Abstract
This paper proposes efficient methods such as Improved Tiling Method for non-uniform dependence loops with only flow dependences and Improved Region Partitioning Method for loops with both flow and anti dependences. In the Improved Tiling Method, we propose our incrementing minimum dependence distance technique and loop interchanging technique. In Improved Region Partitioning Method, we eliminate anti dependences from the nested loop by variable renaming. After variable renaming, this method can divide the iteration space into two parallel regions as large as possible and one or less serial region as small as possible. By combination of existing methods and our proposed methods, it exposes more parallelism.
