Test and Evaluation of Architecture-Aware Compiler Environment

Abstract:

Basic data flow patterns that we call performance idioms, such as stream, transpose, reduction, random access and stencil, are common in scientific numerical applications. We hypothesize that a small number of idioms can cover most programming constructs that dominate the execution time of scientific codes and can be used to approximate the application performance. To check these hypotheses, we built an automatic idioms recognition method tool and applied it to the UHPC Challenge problems.
