Abstract

Systems, media, and methods may identify loops of a unit of computation for performing operations associated with the loops. The system, media, and methods may receive textual program code that includes a unit of computation that comprises a loop (e.g., explicit/implicit loop). The unit of computation may be identified by an identifier (e.g., variable name within the textual program code, text string embedded in the unit of computation, and/or syntactical pattern that is unique within the unit of computation). A code portion and/or a section thereof may include an identifier referring to the unit of computation, where the code portion and the unit of computation may be at independent locations of each other. The systems, media, and methods may semantically identify a loop that corresponds to the identifier and perform operations on the textual program code using the code portion and/or section.
