Description

ABSTRACT:
An optimizer for optimizing an intermediate representation (IR) tree having multiple nodes. The IR tree represents a partial compilation of a source code. The source code is written using a high level language supporting data parallel processing. According to the present invention, the optimizer optimizes the IR tree by minimizing the number and size of temporary parallel variables in the IR tree. Such minimization optimizes the IR tree because temporary parallel variables require an enormous amount of space in memory.
