Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for automating the generation of parallel SIMD native source code in three major functional areas of data transmission, synchronization, and SIMD operations. An annotation standard is defined that is independent from native compilers and, coupled with a source-to-source compiler that provides high-level abstractions of data transmission, synchronization, and SIMD operations, relieves the need for programmers to work in a hardware-specific manner, while addressing issues of productivity and portability in a parallel SIMD computing environment.
