Hi Russel,
Thanks for googling it for me :)


Nevertheless, I think the problem for me lies more in the analysis
area. Are the analysis for parallelism worth the effort for compilers
technology? Googling for a tool that accomplishes such
parallelization gives no result. I therefore imagine that it has no
simple solution.


Since I'm no compilers researcher I thought of asking here, maybe I
could get an answer like:
It has not been adopted by most compilers because it is not worth it,
does not bring benefits, too complex or whatever.


I know that it is a very broad area, and I don't think that some
google searches will give me something I can use to answer my
question.


In any case, thanks for the help.
Raphael.
