"A Computer-Aided Programming Tool for Microprocessors"

多处理的主要问题不是多处理器系统的构建，而是它在实际应用中的有效使用。目前的研究是计算机辅助编程工具，帮助程序员解决多处理器的编码问题。这样的工具推荐程序分区，插入程序员选择的同步原语，并估计程序性能。此外，它还提供了质量措施，以帮助程序员通过减少各种依赖来改进他们的程序/算法。开发工具来促进多处理器体系结构中的并行性具有潜在的重要意义。

The major issue in multiprocessing is not the construction of a multiprocessor system, but its efficient use in real applications. The current research is on computer aided programming tools that help programmers in coding problems for multiprocessors. Such a tool recommends program partitioning, inserts synchronization primitives selected by the programmer, and estimates program performance. Moreover, it provides quality measures in order to help programmers in improving their programs/algorithms by reducing various kinds of dependencies. The development of tools to facilitate parallelism in multiprocessor architectures is potentially significant.
