METHOD AND DEVICES FOR DETERMINING PARALLELISM OF TASKS OF A PROGRAM

摘要

A method and device for determining parallelism of tasks of a program comprises generating a task data structure to track the tasks and assigning a node of the task data structure to each executing task. Each node includes a task identification number and a wait number. The task identification number uniquely identifies the corresponding task from other currently executing tasks and the wait number corresponds to the task identification number of a node corresponding to the last descendant task of the corresponding task that was executed prior to a wait command. The parallelism of the tasks is determined by comparing the relationship between the tasks.
