Iterative Optimization in the Polyhedral Model: Part I, One-Dimensional Time, CGO’07 http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1252537 They made polyhedral models from a sequential program using a method that Paul Feautrier proposed in 1992. Many schedules could come from the polyhedral model, thus they choose only the legal
