== Dependencies in code ==

There are several types of dependences that can be found within code.<ref name="Solihin">{{cite book|last1=Solihin|first1=Yan|title=Fundamentals of Parallel Architecture|date=2016|publisher=CRC Press|___location=Boca Raton, FL|isbn=978-1-4822-1118-4}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Goff|first1=Gina|title=Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN 1991 conference on Programming language design and implementation - PLDI '91|pages=15–29|chapter=Practical dependence testing|doi=10.1145/113445.113448|year=1991|isbn=0897914287|s2cid=2357293 }}</ref>

* DOPIPE Parallelism

Each implementation varies slightly in how threads synchronize, if at all. In addition, parallel tasks must somehow be mapped to a process. These tasks can either be allocated statically or dynamically. Research has shown that load-balancing can be better achieved through some dynamic allocation algorithms than when done statically.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Kavi|first1=Krishna|title=Parallelization of DOALL and DOACROSS Loops-a Survey|refurl=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/220662641_Parallelization_of_DOALL_and_DOACROSS_Loops-a_Survey220662641}}</ref>

The process of parallelizing a sequential program can be broken down into the following discrete steps.<ref name="Solihin" /> Each concrete loop-parallelization below implicitly performs them.

=== DOACROSS parallelism ===

DOACROSS Parallelism exists where iterations of a loop are parallelized by extracting calculations that can be performed independently and running them simultaneously.<ref>{{citation|last1=Unnikrishnan|first1=Priya|title=Euro-Par 2012 Parallel Processing|volume=7484|pages=219–231|doi=10.1007/978-3-642-32820-6_23|series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science|year=2012|isbn=978-3-642-32819-0|chapter=A Practical Approach to DOACROSS Parallelization|chapters2cid=18571258 |doi-urlaccess=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/0885cd07bc4affd8f433bd3b4ee56012101ae09afree}}</ref>

Synchronization exists to enforce loop-carried dependence.
