Hi, As part of my Masters I am attempting to critique the paper "Compiler Transformations for High Performance Computing" by Bacon et al by comparing the transformations given in that paper to those found currently in GCC. I was wondering if loop normalization is used in GCC, as there is no mention of it here: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Optimize-Options.html and although there was a patch a long time ago: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2003-01/msg00947.html I cant seem to find it in a more recent version. Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Yours, Rob Quill.
