摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates optimizing computer program performance by using steered execution. The system operates by first receiving source code for a computer program, and then compiling a portion of this source code with a first set of optimizations to generate a first compiled portion. The system also compiles the same portion of the source code with a second set of optimizations to generate a second compiled portion. Remaining source code is compiled to generate a third compiled portion. Additionally, a rule is generated for selecting between the first compiled portion and the second compiled portion. Finally, the first compiled portion, the second compiled portion, the third compiled portion, and the rule are combined into an executable output file.

摘要： A method and mechanism for producing and executing self-steering program code. A method comprises analyzing program code and identifying portions which may be amenable to optimization. Having identified such a portion of code, at least one optimized version of the identified code is added to the program code. Additionally, a selection mechanism is added to the program code which is configured to select between two or more versions of the portion of code during runtime. The modified program code is then compiled with the added optimized version and the selection mechanism. During execution, monitoring of behavior of the code may be enabled or disabled. Based upon such monitored behavior, a different version of the code may be selected for execution. Various optimized versions may be selected for execution in a manner which takes advantage of the current behavior of the program.

摘要： A method and mechanism for using threads in a computing system. A multithreaded computing system is configured to execute a first thread and a second thread. Responsive to the first thread detecting a launch point for a function, the first thread is configured to provide an indication to the second thread that the second thread may begin execution of a given function. The launch point of the function precedes an actual call point of the function in an execution sequence. The second thread is configured to initiate execution of the function in response to the indication. The function includes one or more inputs and the second thread uses anticipated values for each of the one or more inputs. When the first thread reaches a call point for the function, the first thread is configured to use a results of the second thread's execution, in response to determining the anticipated values used by the second thread were correct.

摘要： A system and method for automatic efficient parallelization of code combined with hardware transactional memory support. A software application may contain a transaction synchronization region (TSR) utilizing lock and unlock transaction synchronization function calls for a shared region of memory within a shared memory. The TSR is replaced with two portions of code. The first portion comprises hardware transactional memory primitives in place of lock and unlock function calls. Also, the first portion ensures no other transaction is accessing the shared region without disabling existing hardware transactional memory support. The second portion performs a fail routine, which utilizes lock and unlock transaction synchronization primitives in response to an indication that a failure occurs within said first portion.

摘要： A compilation method and mechanism for parallelizing program code. A method for compilation includes analyzing source code and identifying candidate code for parallelization. The method includes parallelizing the candidate code, in response to determining said profitability meets a predetermined criteria; and generating object code corresponding to the source code. The generated object code includes both a non-parallelized version of the candidate code and a parallelized version of the candidate code. During execution of the object code, a dynamic selection between execution of the non-parallelized version of the candidate code and the parallelized version of the candidate code is made. Changing execution from said parallelized version of the candidate code to the non-parallelized version of the candidate code, may be in response to determining a transaction failure count meets a pre-determined threshold. Additionally, changing execution from one version to the other may be in further response to determining an execution time of the parallelized version of the candidate code is greater than an execution time of the non-parallelized version of the candidate code.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that generates code for a scout thread to prefetch data values for a main thread. During operation, the system compiles source code for a program to produce executable code for the program. This compilation process involves performing reuse analysis to identify prefetch candidates which are likely to be touched during execution of the program. Additionally, this compilation process produces executable code for the scout thread which contains prefetch instructions to prefetch the identified prefetch candidates for the main thread. In this way, the scout thread can subsequently be executed in parallel with the main thread in advance of where the main thread is executing to prefetch data items for the main thread.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for communicating and performing synchronization operations between a main thread and a helper-thread. The system starts by executing a program in a main thread. Upon encountering a loop which has associated helper-thread code, the system commences the execution of the code by the helper-thread separately and in parallel with the main thread. While executing the code by the helper-thread, the system periodically checks the progress of the main thread and deactivates the helper-thread if the code being executed by the helper-thread is no longer performing useful work. Hence, the helper-thread is executes in advance of where the main thread is executing to prefetch data items for the main thread without unnecessarily consuming processor resources or hampering the execution of the main thread.

摘要： A compilation method is provided for correcting compiler errors that include compiler internal errors and errors produced by running a validation suite. The method includes running a compiler on a computer and storing a set of optimization levels in memory accessible by the compiler. The method includes receiving a source file with the compiler that includes a user-defined optimization level to be used in compiling the source file. The method includes identifying a set of functions within the source file and using compiler components to compile these functions using the original optimization level. When the compiling results in an internal error occurring and being reported for one or more of the functions, the method includes using an optimization adjustment module to process the internal error and assign an adjusted or lower optimization level to the one or more functions and recompiling of these functions again with the lower optimization level.

摘要： Prefetch information is generated for multi-block indirect memory access chains. A method may include selecting a chain of indirect memory accesses of a procedure, the chain comprising a head access that does not depend for its address on another prefetch candidate memory access within the procedure and an indirect access that depends for its address on the head access. The method may further include determining a prefetch-ahead value for the chain, and generating a load operation corresponding to the head access that specifies a target memory address that is dependent upon the prefetch-ahead value and an address of the head access. The method may further include, for a terminal indirect access of the chain, generating a respective prefetch operation that is dependent for its address computation on results of preceding load operations in the same manner as its corresponding terminal indirect access depends upon preceding accesses in the chain.
