Abstract
We present transformation rules to parallelize divide-and-conquer (DC) algorithms over powerlists. These rules convert the parallel control structure of DC into a sequential control flow, thereby making the imp licit massive data parallelism in a DC scheme explicit. The results gi ven here are illustrated by many examples including Fast Fourier Trans form and Batcher's bitonic sort.
