Abstract
A compiler for compiling a computer program wherein the computer program is adapted for use with a data parallel computer. The compiler comprises an optimizer which optimizes the compiled code. In optimizing the compiled code, the optimizer performs live variable analysis. With regard to performing live variable analysis, the optimizer of the present invention is adapted for use with data parallel languages. Additionally, the optimizer is computationally efficient at compile time. Further, the optimizer operates in an incremental manner.
