Abstract
A method for improving parallel processing of computer programs. DOACROSS loops and similar code are identified and parallelized using a post-wait control structure. The post-wait control structure may be implemented to include any one of a single counter to enforce an order of execution, an array to track code completion that is indexed by a modulus of a positive integer number, and/or a set of arrays to track a last code completed by a thread and a current code being executed by a thread.
