Abstract
We have studied the e ectiveness of parallelizing compilers and the underlying transformation techniques. This paper reports the speedups of the Perfect Benchmarks TM codes that result from automatic parallelization. We have further measured the performance gains caused by individual restructuring techniques. Speci c reasons for the successes and failures of the transformations are discussed, and potential improvements that result in measurably better program performance are analyzed. Our most important ndings are that available restructurers often cause insigni cant performance gains in real programs and that only few restructuring techniques contribute to this gain. However, we can also show that there is potential for advancing compiler technology so that many of the most important loops in these programs can be parallelized.
