Optimizing Mutual Exclusion Synchronization in Explicitly Parallel Programs

Abstract. We present two new compiler optimizations for explicitly parallel programs based on the CSSAME form: Lock-Independent Code Motion (LICM) and Mutex Body Localization (MBL). We have implemented these optimizations on top of the SUIF framework and present performance results for selected SPLASH applications.
