Abstract
A language construct that allows a software programmer to use an intermediate or high-level language command to explicitly group operations or fuse loops in a group of statements operating on parallel arrays is disclosed. The command instructs a compiler, which would otherwise add temporary variables to avoid data dependencies or perform data dependency analysis, to translate the enclosed statements directly into machine language code without adding those temporary variables and without performing any data dependency analysis. Execution of the command results in the performance of the group of statements by all of the virtual processors.
