Dave Binkley. Dependence Cluster Causes. In Scalable Program Analysis. Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8161, pp. 1-13, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (2008) https://doi.org/10.4230/DagSemProc.08161.4

Abstract

A dependence cluster is a maximal set of program components that all depend upon one another.  For small programs, programmers as well as static-analysis tools can overcome the negative effects of large dependence clusters.  However, this ability diminished as program size increases.  Thus, the existence of large dependence clusters presents a serious challenge to the scalability of modern software.  Recent ongoing work into the existence and causes of dependence clusters is presented.  A better understanding of clusters and their causes is a precursor to the construction of more informed analysis tools and ideally the eventual breaking or proactive avoidance of large dependence clusters.
