The Guided Auto Parallelism Step

The Performance Guide will not apply GAP advice automatically since the Guide cannot determine in advance whether the advice will result in a performance gain or degradation. Instead, the Run All Steps mode lets you try each instance of GAP advice in order to determine whether it results in a performance gain. To do this, click Try button in the column with the same name. The selected advice is tried and the source code modified in accordance with the advice. The project is then built and the performance improvement is calculated and displayed in the Improvement column. Green text indicates a performance gain and red text shows a performance degradation.

To apply the advice, you will need to click the Apply button.
