Abstract
System and methods for the parallelization of software applications are described. In some embodiments, a compiler may automatically identify within source code dependencies of a function called by another function. A persistent database may be generated to store identified dependencies. When calls the function are encountered within the source code, the persistent database may be checked, and a parallelized implementation of the function may be employed dependent upon the dependency indicated in the persistent database.
