Automatic parallelization: History, Compiler techniques & Forms of parallelism

Automatic parallelization, also auto-parallelization or autoparallelization, is a compiler optimization in which a compiler or other software tool transforms sequential program code so that some of its operations can execute in parallel. The generated program may use multiple processor cores or hardware threads, vector instructions, or other forms of…
