Abstract

In this paper a tool, called ParaGraph, supporting C code parallelization is presented. ParaGraph is a plug-in in Eclipse IDE and enables manual and automatic parallelization. A parallelizing compiler inserts automatically OpenMP directives into the outputted source code. OpenMP directives can be also manually inserted by a programmer. ParaGraph shows C code after parallelization. Visualization of parallelized code can be used to understand the rules and constraints of parallelization and to tune the parallelized code as well.
