Abstract

FORTRAN WHERE construct compilation and optimization is provided by excluding an assignment statement containing a transformational intrinsic function from loop fusion of the WHERE construct. To perform this loop fusion, intrastatement dependence analysis is performed within each assignment statement of the WHERE construct, and then interstatement dependence analysis is performed between each assignment statement and assignment statements subsequent to the assignment statement. Responsive to this dependence analysis, pairs of assignment statements which may not be fused into a single loop are identified, and non-fusion boundaries between adjacent assignment statements where assignment statements preceding a non-fusion boundary and assignment statements subsequent to the non-fusion boundary may not be fused into a single loop are identified. This fusion analysis yields a loop fusion configuration. After the loop fusion configuration is identified and the rank of any temporary expression is determined, code generation is performed by scalarizing each assignment statement. This provides better optimization than the conventional straight forward approach to compiling a WHERE construct, and further provides an optimized compilation of a WHERE construct by the use of less compilation time than that required by conventional high-level optimization.
