Compiler Optimizations for Improving Data Locality

by Steve Carr, Kathryn S. McKinley, Chau-Wen Tseng - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS , 1994
"... In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effective when programs exhibit data locality. In this paper, we present compiler optimizations to improve data locality base ..."

Compiler optimization-space exploration

by Spyridon Triantafyllis, Manish Vachharajani, Neil Vachharajani, David I. August - In Proceedings of the international symposium on Code generation and optimization , 2003
"... To meet the demands of modern architectures, optimizing compilers must incorporate an ever larger number of increasingly complex transformation algorithms. Since code transformations may often degrade performance or interfere with subsequent transformations, compilers employ predictive heuristics to ..."

Understanding the behavior of compiler optimizations

by Han Lee, Daniel Von Dincklage, Amer Diwan, J. Eliot, B. Moss , 2004
"... Compiler writers usually follow some known rules of thumb on the effectiveness of optimizations when implementing compilers. While many of these rules may be correct, it is a far better methodology to base implementation decisions on a scientific evaluation of optimizations. To this end, we present ..."

Compiler Optimizations for Eliminating Barrier Synchronization

by Chau-wen Tseng - In Proceedings of the Fifth ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming , 1995
"... This paper presents novel compiler optimizations for reducing synchronization overhead in compiler-parallelized scientific codes. A hybrid programming model is employed to combine the flexibility of the fork-join model with the precision and power of the singleprogram, multiple data (SPMD) model. By ..."

Combinatorial Problems in Compiler Optimization

by Mirza O Beg
"... c ○ Mirza O Beg 2013I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. Several important compiler optimizati ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
optimizations such as instruction scheduling and register allocation are fundamentally hard and are usually solved using heuristics or approximate solutions. In contrast, this thesis examines optimal solutions to three combinatorial problems in compiler optimization. The first problem addresses instruction

Impact of economics on compiler optimization

by Arch D. Robison - In Proc. of the Joint ACM Java Grande/ISCOPE 2001 Conf , 2001
"... Compile-time program optimizations are similar to poetry: more are written than are actually published in commercial compilers. Hard economic reality is that many interesting optimizations have too narrow an audience to justify their cost in a general-purpose compiler, and custom compilers are too e ..."

Tuning compiler optimizations for simultaneous multithreading

by Jack L. Lo, Susan J. Eggers, Henry M. Levy, Sujay S. Parekh, Dean M. Tullsen - In 30th International Symposium on Microarchitecture , 1997
