Abstract

The Paragen System is an automatic parallelisation system which takes a serial program and, using a combination of Genetic Programming and Genetic Algorithms, transforms it into a functionally identical parallel program. This paper gives an overview of the system, describing the novel way in which GP and GA are integrated, before giving the first substantial results for the system. The programs that are processed by the system illustrate that it can handle programs which contain a combination of loops and atomic instructions, and we show the advantage of applying the system to a program as a whole, rather than simply to one kind of instruction.
