Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for reducing syntax requirements in application code to cause concurrent execution of multiple iterations of at least a portion of a loop thereof to reduce overall execution time in solving a large scale problem. At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions that when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to parse an application code to identify a loop instruction indicative of an instruction block that includes instructions that define a loop of which multiple iterations are capable of concurrent execution, the instructions including at least one call instruction to an executable routine capable of concurrent execution; and insert at least one coordinating instruction into an instruction sub-block of the instruction block to cause sequential execution of instructions of the instruction sub-block across the multiple iterations based on identification of the loop instruction. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
