Abstract
A system is capable of automatically adjusting or reconstructing a baseline expression to generate a parallelized expression. Evaluation of the parallelized expression provide a substantially similar output as the evaluation of the baseline query in more efficient manner. In some implementations, data indicating an expression to be evaluated on a primary thread of the one or more processors is obtained. Elements of the expression are identified. The elements are grouped into a parse tree representation. Elements of the expression are classified as belonging to either a first category that includes elements that are eligible for parallel processing or a second category that includes elements that are not eligible for parallel processing. A particular element that is classified as belonging to the first category is identified and evaluated on a non-primary thread of the one or more processors. The non-primary thread is evaluated in parallel with the primary thread.
