ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present a method - parallelization spectroscopy - for analyzing the thread-level parallelism available in production High Performance Computing (HPC) codes.We survey a number of techniques that are commonly used for parallelization and classify all the loops in the case study presented using a sensitivity metric: how likely is a particular technique is successful in parallelizing the loop.

Exploiting Instruction- and Data-Level Parallelism
Historically, there have been two different approaches to high performance computing: instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and data-level parallelism (DLP). The ILP paradigm seeks to execute several instructions each cycle by exploring a sequential ...
