Abstract
In this poster, we present our vision of refactoring support for languages with a partitioned global address space memory model as embodied in the X10 programming language. We examine a novel refactoring, extract concurrent, that introduces additional concurrency within a loop by arranging for some user-selected code in the loop body to run in parallel with other iterations of the loop. We discuss the mechanisms and challenges for implementing this refactoring and how development of this refactoring provides insight for designing future refactorings.

A Refactoring Approach to Parallelism
In the multicore era, a major programming task will be to make programs more parallel. This is tedious because it requires changing many lines of code; it's also error-prone and nontrivial because programmers need to ensure noninterference of parallel ...
Local parallel iteration in x10
X10 2015: Proceedings of the ACM SIGPLAN Workshop on X10X10 programs have achieved high efficiency on petascale clusters by making significant use of parallelism between places, however, there has been less focus on exploiting local parallelism within a place. This paper introduces a standard mechanism - ...
