Abstract

In this paper, a parallel algorithm is presented for the evaluation of ordered attribute grammars. The parallelism is achieved by constructing the so-called parallel visit sequences and accordingly augmenting the ordinary evaluation driver as well. For experimental purposes, the algorithm has been implemented by simulation
