A study of potential parallelism among traces in Java programs

摘要

Multiprocessor chips-a current trend in hardware-are commonly available to personal computer users. The presence of multiple processors is forcing software to become more parallelized. The problem with this is that parallelizing large pieces of software is a very difficult task, even if parallelization was included in the design specifications. In addition, most current software is written to execute sequentially, on a single processor.
