Code parallelization through sequential code search
Bowen Cai · 2016
In this paper, we propose a new technique to recommend programmers with high quality parallel code that are similar to a given sequential code. This is done by transforming well-grounded parallel code A into its sequential equivalent B, storing them (A->B) into database, given a sequential code C, search the database for syntactic or semantic similar code B and retrieve its parallel version code A, which can be used as the replacement or reference for the original code C. We also outline our solutions towards realizing this technique and present a preliminary study that shows promising results.
