Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient techniques, called CD translation, to compile a FORTRAN program to a optimized dataflow code. The CD translation generates the dataflow control information from a control flow graph by using the data flow analysis with the branch node operation, and enables to analyze a sequential program with any type of the control structures (e.g. goto statement and irreducible loop) correctly, while the previous method cannot compile a FORTRAN to the dataflow program perfectly. This analysis technique is much worthy of not only the construction of the compiler for dataflow machines but also the analysis technique for the parallelizing compiler because the dataflow program represents all the program dependencies with only data dependencies unifyingly and enables to analyze all the program dependencies identically. Moreover the FORTRAN compiler implementing the CD translation is introduced.
