Normalized loop

In computer science, a normalized loop (sometimes called well-behaved loop), is a loop in which the loop variable starts at 0 (or any constant) and gets incremented by one at every iteration until the exit condition is met. Normalized loops are very important for compiler theory, loop dependence analysis as they simplify the data dependence analysis.
