ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to compiler generated code for parallelized code segments, wherein the generated code is used to determine if an expected number of parallel processing threads is created for a parallel processing application, in addition to determining the performance impact of using parallel threads of execution. In the event the expected number of parallel threads is not generated, notices and alerts are generated to report the thread creation problem. Further, a method is disclosed for the collection of performance metrics for N threads of execution and one thread of execution, and thereafter performing a comparison operation upon the execution threads. Notices and alerts are generated to report the resultant performance metrics for the N threads of execution versus the one thread of execution.
