Summary:Abstract: "There has been much work on developing new techniques for parallelizing programs yet there has been little empirical analysis to support these techniques. This thesis attempts to close this gap by measuring and analyzing the effectiveness of commercial parallelizing compilers on the Perfect Benchmarks [superscript TM]. The speedups of these codes that result from automatic parallelization will be reported. The performance gains attributed to the individual restructuring techniques, which assist the parallelization of the codes, are also given. The successes and failures of these transformations will be analyzed. This thesis will also closely examine each code in the Perfect Benchmarks [superscript TM], so to determine why each code parallelized poorly or well. Finally, potentential [sic] improvements will be offered."
