Abstract :
The parallelizing compiler divides a given program into several processes which can be executed simultaneously in a distributed computer environment. However, a program has global variables generally. Therefore, the processes have to share global variables since they are common in the program. In order to manage global variables correctly, the processes need to possess the broadcasting facility for data sharing and the synchronization facility for execution order control among the processes. We propose execution order control methods among the processes for sharing global variables in the distributed computer environment
