Abstract

In order to generate optimum codes for array descriptions having a new language specification, an optimization control apparatus or method for array description executes a function of determining a scope of executing optimization for the array descriptions on the basis of an optimization level determined in advance, the dimension number of an array of the array descriptions, and the array number of each dimension; a function of extracting information representing the respective forms of the array descriptions within the scope of executing the optimization; a function of detecting a common expression for each array description and recognizing information common to each array description; and a function of executing a loop merge determination process as to whether or not a loop merge for converting each array description to an optimum loop is to be carried out, for each array description whose form is defined during the generation of the optimum codes.
