Zusammenfassung:A major driving force behind the increasing popularity of data science is the increasing need for data-driven analytics fuelled by massive amounts of complex data. Increasingly, parallel processing has become a cost-effective method for computationally large and data-intensive problems. Many existing applications are sequential in nature and if such applications are ported to multi-processor systems for execution, they would make use of only one core and the optimal usage of all cores is not guaranteed. Knowledge of parallel programming is necessary to ensure the use of processing power offered by multi-processor systems in order to achieve better performance. However, many users do not possess the skills and knowledge required to convert existing sequential code to parallel code to achieve speedups and scalability. In this paper, we introduce a framework that automatically transforms existing sequential code to parallel code while ensuring functional correctness using divide-and-conquer paradigm, so that the benefits offered by multi-core systems can be maximized. The paper will outline the implementation of the framework and demonstrate its usage with practical use cases.
