ARRAY VARIABLE TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM EMPLOYING SUBSCRIPT TABLE MAPPING TO SCALAR LOOP INDICES

A subscript table mapping system for optimizing the compilation of certain Fortran 90 array construction and array manipulation transformation functions. The subscript table data object of this invention is used to perform the three compiler optimizations, including subscript dependency analysis, subscript table transformation and optimized code generation. Application of a simple subscript mapping function tailored to the particular intrinsic Fortran 90 array variable transformation function permits compilation of executable binary code that saves substantial processing steps and data storage space by avoiding during execution the usual requirement for temporary storage of abstract transformational array variables.
