Mutation Scheduling : A Uni ed Approach toCompiling for Fine - Grain Parallelism ?
نویسنده
چکیده
Trade-oos between code selection, register allocation, and instruction scheduling are inherently interdependent, especially when compiling for ne-grain parallel architectures. However, the conventional approach to compiling for such machines arbitrarily separates these phases so that decisions made during any one phase place unnecessary constraints on the remaining phases. Mutation Scheduling attempts to solve this problem by combining code selection , register allocation, and instruction scheduling into a uniied framework in which trade-oos between the functional, register, and memory bandwidth resources of the target architecture are made \on the y" in response to changing resource constraints and availability.

متن کاملFilaments: Efficient Support for Fine-Grain Parallelism
It has long been thought that coarse-grain parallelism is much more efficient than fine-grain parallelism due to the overhead of process (thread) creation, context switching, and synchronization. On the other hand, there are several advantages to fine-grain parallelism: architecture independence, ease of programming, ease of use as a target for code generation, and load-balancing potential. Thi...

متن کاملBalancing Fine- and Medium-Grained Parallelism in Scheduling Loops for the XIMD Architecture
This paper presents an approach to scheduling loops that leverages the distinctive architectural features of the XIMD, particularly the variable number of instruction streams and low synchronization cost. The classical VLIW and MIMD architectures have a fixed number of instruction streams, each with a fixed width. A compiler for the XIMD architecture can exploit fine-grained parallelism within ...
متن کاملNear Fine Grain Parallel Processing Using Static Scheduling on Single Chip Multiprocessors
With the increase of the number of transistors integrated on a chip, efficient use of transistors and scalable improvement of effective performance of a processor are getting important problems. However, it has been thought that popular superscalar and VLIW would have difficulty to obtain scalable improvement of effective performance in future because of the limitation of instruction level para...
