Abstract :
Asynchronous parallelization assists the utilization of parallel hardware by sequential software. A sequential program is decomposed into a program network according to a given partition. Each generated program may run autonomously, and dependencies are realized by communication statements. An algorithm is presented for decomposing Pascal programs and producing a distributed-Pascal program network. A description is given of an existing tool using the presented method, and an example illustrates the method
