KelpIO: A Telescope-Ready Domain-Specific I/O Library for Irregular Block-Structured Applications
To ameliorate the need to spend significant programmer time modifying parallel programs to achieve highperformance, while maintaining compact, comprehensible source codes, this paper advocates the use of telescoping languages technology to automatically apply, during the normal compilation process, high-level performance enhancing transformations to applications using a high-level domain-specific I/O library. We believe that this approach will be more acceptable to application developers than new language extensions, but will be just as amenable to optimization by advanced compilers, effectively making it a domain-specific language extension for I/O. The paper describes a domain-specific I/O library for irregular block-structured applications based on the KeLP library, describes high-level transformations of the library primitives for improving performance, and describes how a high-level domain-specific optimizer for applying these transformations could be constructed using the telesc...
