> >
> >The ParaScope Editor is an interactive parallel programming tool that
> >assists knowledgeable users in developing scientific Fortran programs.
> >It displays the results of sophisticated program analyses, provides a
> >set of powerful interactive transformations, and supports program
> >editing. This paper summarizes experiences of scientific programmers
> >and tool designers using the ParaScope Editor.  We evaluate existing
> >features and describe enhancements in three key areas: user interface,
> >analysis, and transformation.  Many existing features prove crucial to
> >successful program parallelization.  They include interprocedural
> >array side-effect analysis and program and dependence view filtering.
> >Desirable functionality includes improved program navigation
> >based on performance estimation, incorporating user assertions in analysis
> >and more guidance in selecting transformations.
> >These results offer insights for the authors of a
> >variety of programming tools and parallelizing compilers.
