Abstract
There has been much work on developing new techniques for parallelizing programs yet there has been little empirical analysis to support these techniques. This thesis attempts to close this gap by measuring and analyzing the effectiveness of commercial parallelizing compilers on the Perfect Benchmarks TM . The speedups of these codes that result from automatic parallelization will be reported. The performance gains attributed to the individual restructuring techniques, which assist the parallelization of the codes, are also given. The successes and failures of these transformations will be analyzed. This thesis will also closely examine each code in the Perfect Benchmarks TM , so to determine why each code parallelized poorly or well. Finally, potentential improvements will be offered. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my thesis advisor, Rudolf Eigenmann, for his guidance and suggestions. His support and insight proved to be invaluable in the construction of this thesis. ...
