Summary

The present paper tries to define automatic procedures for detecting inherent paralellism during the compilation of programs in procedural language for parallel-processor computers. This parallelism should be used on a static and a dynamic basis. During compilation several independent paths are detected, generated and properly identified for parallel execution. Also, a scheme is described for an executive routine in this environment.

Zusammenfassung

Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht automatische Methoden für die Auffindung innewohnender Gleichzeitigkeit in Programmen während der Übersetzung für Parallel-Rechner abzugrenzen. Solche Gleichzeitigkeit sollte auf statische und auf dynamische Weise verwendet werden. Während der Übersetzung werden mehrere unabhängige Rechenwege erzeugt und für parallele Ausführung entsprechend gekennzeichnet. In diesem Zusammenhang wird ein Schema für ein Kontrollprogramm angegeben.
