Run‐time preprocessing plays a major role in many efficient algorithms in computer science, as well as playing an important role in exploiting multiprocessor architectures. We give examples that elucidate the importance of run‐time preprocessing and show how these optimizations can be integrated into compilers. To support our arguments, we describe transformations implemented in prototype multiprocessor compilers and present benchmarks from the iPSC2/860, the CM‐2 and the Encore Multimax/320.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
