Multithreading support seems to be the most obvious approach for helping programmers to take the advantage of parallelism by operating systems. Although multithreading for a lot of multiprocessors is powerful, we sometimes still lack good parallelizing compilers to help programmers exploit parallelism and gain performance benefit. In this paper, a model of FORTRAN parallelizing compiler on multithreading OSF/1 is first proposed and then generalized to be useful in constructing a parallelizing compiler for a particular language, to generate insight into the development of a high-performance parallelizing compiler.
