Static Slicing The Slice of a program with respect to a program point p and a variable x consists of all statements and predicates of the program that might affect the value of x at point p.
Interference dependence : A node S1 is interference dependent on a node S2 if S2 defines a variable v, S1 uses the variable v and S1 and S2 execute in parallel.
Limitations of previous solutions: 1. Nested threads 2. Threads nested within loops
CoAncestor ( i, j ) is defined to be the nearest common ancestor of two parallel executing nodes i and j. CoRegion ( i, j ) is the region enclosed between CoAncestor ( i, j ) and its corresponding coend node.
