A comparison of empirical and model-driven optimization
Empirical program optimizers estimate the values of key optimization parameters by generating different program versions and running them on the actual hardware to determine which...

Compile-time composition of run-time data and iteration reorderings
Many important applications, such as those using sparse data structures, have memory reference patterns that are unknown at compile-time. Prior work has developed runtime reorderi...

Meta optimization: improving compiler heuristics with machine learning
Compiler writers have crafted many heuristics over the years to approximately solve NP-hard problems efficiently. Finding a heuristic that performs well on a broad range of applic...

A compiler framework for speculative analysis and optimizations
Speculative execution, such as control speculation and data speculation, is an effective way to improve program performance. Using edge/path profile information or simple heuristi...

Bug isolation via remote program sampling
We propose a low-overhead sampling infrastructure for gathering information from the executions experienced by a program’s user community. Several example applications illustrat...

Automatically proving the correctness of compiler optimizations
We describe a technique for automatically proving compiler optimizations sound, meaning that their transformations are always semantics-preserving. We first present a domainspeci...

Linear analysis and optimization of stream programs
As more complex DSP algorithms are realized in practice, an increasing need for high-level stream abstractions that can be compiled without sacrificing efficiency. Toward this en...

The design, implementation, and evaluation of a compiler algorithm for CPU energy reduction
This paper presents the design and implementation of a compiler algorithm that effectively optimizes programs for energy usage using dynamic voltage scaling (DVS). The algorithm ...
