I suggest that you read the following article :


@INPROCEEDINGS{Bane:93,
AUTHOR = "Banerjee, Uptal
and Eigenmann, Rudolf
and Nicolau, Alexandru
and Padua, David A.",
TITLE = {Automatic Program Parallelisation},
BOOKTITLE = {Proceedings of the IEEE},
YEAR = 1993,
MONTH = feb,
VOLUME = 81,
NUMBER = 2
}


which is an overwiew of automatic program parallelization. The last
section surveys experimental studies.


If you understand french, you could also read the following thesis, which
(among others) gives a comparison between several parallelizers (from
universities), on the number of independencies they are able to discover :


@PHDTHESIS{Yang:93,
AUTHOR = {Yang, Yi-Qing},
TITLE ={Tests des De'pendances et Transformations de Programme},
SCHOOL = "Universite' Paris VI ",
YEAR = 1993,
MONTH = {Novembre}
}


I hope this will help you. Don't hesitate to ask for more questions, I
will try to answer.
