Amit Barve, Brijendra Kumar Joshi . Parallel Lexical Analysis of Multiple Files on Multi-Core Machines. International Journal of Computer Applications. 96, 16 ( June 2014), 22-24. DOI=10.5120/16879-6879
The multi-core machines open new doors to achieve parallelism in single machine. This new architecture has influenced every field of computing. Parallel Compilation is one of the areas that still needs serious research work to fully exploit the inherent power of the architecture. In this paper a parallel lexical analysis algorithm is presented that is capable of doing lexical analysis of more than one source file simultaneously thereby improving performance.
