| Abstract | Among techniques for parallelizing sequential codes, privatization is a common and significant transformation performed by both compilers and runtime parallelizing systems. Without privatization, repetitive updates to the same data structures often introduce spurious data dependencies that hide the inherent parallelism. Unfortunately, it remains a significant challenge to compilers to automatically privatize dynamic and recursive data structures which appear frequently in real applications written in languages such as C/C++. This is because such languages lack a naming mechanism to define the address range of a pointer-based data structure, in contrast to arrays with explicitly declared bounds. In this paper we present a novel solution to this difficult problem by expanding general data structures such that memory accesses issued from different threads to contentious data structures are directed to different data fields. Based on compile-time type checking and a data dependence graph, this aggressive extension to the traditional scalar and array expansion isolates the address ranges among different threads, without struggling with privatization based on thread-private stacks, such that the targeted loop can be effectively parallelized. With this method fully implemented in GCC, experiments are conducted on a set of programs from well-known benchmark suites such as Mibench, MediaBench II and SPECint. Results show that the new approach can lead to a high speedup when executing the transformed code on multiple cores. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
