Loop Transformation Recipes for Code Generation and Auto-Tuning
Abstract. In this paper, we describe transformation recipes, which provide a high-level interface to the code transformation and code generation capability of a compiler. These recipes can be generated by compiler decision algorithms or savvy software developers. This interface is part of an auto-tuning framework that explores a set of different implementations of the same computation and automatically selects the best-performing implementation. Along with the original computation, a transformation recipe specifies a range of implementations of the computation resulting from composing a set of high-level code transformations. In our system, an underlying polyhedral framework coupled with transformation algorithms takes this set of transformations, composes them and autoy generates correct code. We first describe an abstract interface for transformation recipes, which we propose to facilitate interoperability with other transformation frameworks. We then focus on the specific transf...
