In computer science, a Program Dependence Graph (PDG) is a representation of graph notation, that makes a program's dependencies (both data dependencies and control dependencies) explicit.[1] These dependencies are used during dependence analysis in optimizing compilers to make transformations so that multiple cores are used, and parallelism is improved.[2]

See: dependency graph.
