A run-time technique based on the inspector-executor scheme is proposed in this paper to find available parallelism on loops. Our inspector can determine the wavefronts by building a DEF-USE table for each loop of a program. Additionally, the process the inspector uses to find the wavefronts can be parallelized fully without any synchronization. Our executor executes loop iterations concurrently. For each wavefront, the auto-adapted function is used to get a tailored thread number instead of using a fixed number of thread for execution. Experimental results show that our new parallel inspector can handle complex data dependency patterns and significantly reduce the execution time. ? 1998 Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica.
