Abstract
This paper descrives the design and implementation of the automatic vectorizing and paralellizing compiler named V-Pascal Version 3. The compiler is designed as a workbench on which various vectorizing and parallelizing techniques are evaluated. Now this compiler has the ability of vectorizing/parallelizing multiply-nested loops as reduced single loops, vectorizing while-loops and recursive calls, analyzing aliases caused by pointers, detecting dynamic data-structures such as linkedlists and so on. These special techniques can be applied not only for Pascal.
