I agree that this should usually be the programmer's domain. However
there has been some work done in this area. A book I remember is:
Metzger, Robert. _Automatic Algorithm Recognition and Replacement: A New Approach to Program Optimization_
This approaches the issue more from a "I want to replace serial
algorithms with parallel algorithms." if I recall correctly so it may
not be exactly what you are looking for.
