CRPC-TR96653-S:  Dependence Analysis of Fortran90 Array Syntax

Gerald Roth, Ken Kennedy

June, 1996

Dependence analysis and dependence information are critical components of 
many optimizing and parallelizing compilers.  And there exist many fast 
and precise dependence tests that work on scalar-subscripted array 
references. We have extended this analysis by adding tests that directly 
handle Fortran90 array-section references.  This paper describes our 
testing methodology and how we have extended direction vectors to contain 
the additional information.
