Clear description of converting conventional programs to parallel code
A clear non-mathematical in depth description of a new idea for automatically transforming (re-engineering) existing programs to run on parallel computers. There are several low level transformations which change individual lines of code or FOR loops. Existing programs contain many lines of code so the number of possible combinations of transforms and code lines is huge. Ryan shows Darwinian natural evolution can be used to in the computer to automatically find appropriate transformations and where to apply them to the program to produce parallel code which works exactly like the original program but FASTER.
