* As somebody mentioned "implicit parallelization": Don't expect
anything from this. Even if a good compiler finds ways to
parallelize 20% of the code (which would be a lot), the runtime
effect would be marginal. 80% of the code is run at normal speed
(hopefully) and dominates the runtime behavior. The point is
that such compiler-driven code improvements are only local
optimizations. For getting good parallelization results you need
to restructure the design of the program - well, maybe
compiler2.0 can do this at some time, but this is not in sight.
I think you are underestimating parallelizing compilers.
