KSR KAP - Fortran Preprocessor

abstract

KSR KAP is a preprocessor which analyzes loop nests in Fortran source
code for potential parallelization.
KSR KAP can analyze loop nests in Fortran and also perform code
transformations to remove potential data dependencies and inline
subprograms. It can insert parallelizing directives into the transformed
source, thus (when used with the Fortran compiler) can automatically
parallelize loop nests. The programmer who wishes to retain control of
code restructuring can run KSR KAP standalone to provide the dependency
analysis; he/she then can review the KAP-generated transformations and
modify the source code by hand to insert the desired directives.
