Abstract: We produce a short and elementary algorithm to compute an upper bound for the canonical dimension of a spit semisimple linear algebraic group. Using this algorithm we confirm previously known bounds by Karpenko and Devyatov as well as we produce new bounds (e.g. for groups of types

F_{4}

, adjoint

E_{6}

, for some semisimple groups).
