Abstract
Under the present invention, program code is examined (statically or dynamically) for characteristics indicative of a potential to generate multiple threads. If none are found, single threaded optimization(s) such as desynchronization, optimization of globals, etc., can be implemented. In addition, if the program code is later revealed to have the potential to generate multiple threads, the single threaded optimization(s) can be corrected to avoid incorrect execution.
