Abstract / Description of output

One of the major overheads in implementing programs on distributed memory architectures is communication or non-local access. This paper describes a new transformation technique to minimise redundant non-local accesses. Firstly a criteria for determining data re-use is outlined which provides the basis for a new transformation technique based on the Hermite normal form. Once a non-local data item is accessed, it is stored locally and the computation re-ordered so that no further communications are required. This transformation is extended to the case of multiple array accesses where in general scalar expansion is necessary.
