Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for analyzing parallelism of program code. According to a method, the sequential execution of the program code is simulated so as to trace the execution procedure of the program code, and parallelism of the program code is analyzed based on the result of the trace to the execution procedure of the program code. Execution information of the program code is collected by simulating the sequential execution of the program code, and parallelism of the program code is analyzed based on the collected execution information, so as to allow programmers to perform parallel task partitioning of the program code with respect to a multi-core architecture more effectively, thus increasing the efficiency of parallel software development.
