Presidential Young Investigator Awards: Auto-Scheduling Compilers: A Performance Oriented Parallel Programming Environment

这个项目研究并行编程问题的几个方面。这项工作将分三个阶段进行。第一个阶段(也是主要阶段)是对基本问题的基础研究，包括并行计算用户模型和编译器辅助的并行性规范、任务生成和同步、程序划分和处理器间通信以及向量并行体系结构上并行程序的调度。在这一阶段，重点将放在设计和分析一般政策以及具体的算法和试探法上。第二阶段包括使用真实基准进行广泛的模拟。最后一个阶段涉及为C和Fortran开发一个全面的并行化多语言编译器，该编译器将结合前两个阶段的结果。

This project investigates several aspects of the problem of parallel programming. The work will be performed in three stages. The first (and main) stage involves basic research on fundamental issues of the problem including models of parallel computation user and compiler- assisted parallelism specification, task formation and synchronization, program partitioning and interprocessor communication and scheduling of parallel programs on vector-parallel architectures. During this phase the emphasis will be on the design and analysis of general policies and specific algorithms and heuristics. The second phase involves extensive simulations using real benchmarks. The last phase involves development of a comprehensive parallelizing multilingual compiler for C and Fortran which will incorporate the results of the previous two phases.
