Download or read book Loop Tiling for Parallelism written by Jingling Xue and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loop tiling, as one of the most important compiler optimizations, is beneficial for both parallel machines and uniprocessors with a memory hierarchy. This book explores the use of loop tiling for reducing communication cost and improving parallelism for distributed memory machines. The author provides mathematical foundations, investigates loop permutability in the framework of nonsingular loop transformations, discusses the necessary machineries required, and presents state-of-the-art results for finding communication- and time-minimal tiling choices. Throughout the book, theorems and algorithms are illustrated with numerous examples and diagrams. The techniques presented in Loop Tiling for Parallelism can be adapted to work for a cluster of workstations, and are also directly applicable to shared-memory machines once the machines are modeled as BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) machines. Features and key topics: Detailed review of the mathematical foundations, including convex polyhedra and cones; Self-contained treatment of nonsingular loop transformations, code generation, and full loop permutability; Tiling loop nests by rectangles and parallelepipeds, including their mathematical definition, dependence analysis, legality test, and code generation; A complete suite of techniques for generating SPMD code for a tiled loop nest; Up-to-date results on tile size and shape selection for reducing communication and improving parallelism; End-of-chapter references for further reading. Researchers and practitioners involved in optimizing compilers and students in advanced computer architecture studies will find this a lucid and well-presented reference work with numerous citations to original sources.

Download or read book Effective Automatic Parallelization and Locality Optimization Using the Polyhedral Model written by Uday Kumar Reddy Bondhugula and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Multicore processors have now become mainstream. The difficulty of programming these architectures to effectively tap the potential of multiple processing units is well-known. Among several ways of addressing this issue, one of the very promising and simultaneously hard approaches is Automatic Parallelization. This approach does not require any effort on part of the programmer in the process of parallelizing a program. The Polyhedral model for compiler optimization is a powerful mathematical framework based on parametric linear algebra and integer linear programming. It provides an abstraction to represent nested loop computation and its data dependences using integer points in polyhedra. Complex execution-reordering, that can improve performance by parallelization as well as locality enhancement, is captured by affine transformations in the polyhedral model. With several recent advances, the polyhedral model has reached a level of maturity in various aspects -- in particular, as a powerful intermediate representation for performing transformations, and code generation after transformations. However, an approach to automatically find good transformations for communication-optimized coarse-grained parallelization together with locality optimization has been a key missing link. This dissertation presents a new automatic transformation framework that solves the above problem. Our approach works by finding good affine transformations through a powerful and practical linear cost function that enables efficient tiling and fusion of sequences of arbitrarily nested loops. This in turn allows simultaneous optimization for coarse-grained parallelism and locality. Synchronization-free parallelism and pipelined parallelism at various levels can be extracted. The framework can be targeted to different parallel architectures, like general-purpose multicores, the Cell processor, GPUs, or embedded multiprocessor SoCs. The proposed framework has been implemented into a new end-to-end transformation tool, PLUTO, that can automatically generate parallel code from regular C program sections. Experimental results from the implemented system show significant performance improvement for single core and multicore execution over state-of-the-art research compiler frameworks as well as the best native production compilers. For several dense linear algebra kernels, code generated from Pluto beats, by a significant margin, the same kernels implemented with sequences of calls to highly-tuned libraries supplied by vendors. The system also allows empirical optimization to be performed in a much wider context than has been attempted previously. In addition, Pluto can serve as the parallel code generation backend for several high-level domain-specific languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euro-Par Conference Series Euro-Par is an annual series of international conferences dedicated to the p- motion and advancement of all aspectsof parallelcomputing. The major themes can be divided into the broad categories of hardware, software, algorithms and applications for parallel computing. The objective of Euro-Par is to provide a forum within which to promote the development of parallel computing both as an industrial technique and an academic discipline, extending the frontier of both the state of the art and the state of the practice. This is particularly - portant at a time when parallel computing is undergoing strong and sustained development and experiencing real industrial take-up. The main audience for, and participants at, Euro-Par are seen as researchers in academic departments, government laboratories and industrial organizations. Euro-Par’s objective is to be the primary choice of such professionals for the presentation of new - sults in their speci?c areas. Euro-Par also targets applications demonstrating the e?ectiveness of parallelism. This year’s Euro-Par conference was the tenth in the conference series. The previous Euro-Par conferences took place in Sto- holm, Lyon, Passau, Southampton, Toulouse, Munich, Manchester, Paderborn and Klagenfurt. Next year the conference will take place in Lisbon. Euro-Par has a permanent Web site hosting the aims, the organization structure details as well as all the conference history:http://www. europar. org.
