Contech: a shared memory parallel program analysis framework

Vassenkov, Phillip 13 January 2014 (has links)
We are in the era of multicore machines, where we must exploit thread level parallelism for programs to run better, smarter, faster, and more efficiently. In order to increase instruction level parallelism, processors and compilers perform heavy dataflow analyses between instructions. However, there isn’t much work done in the area of inter-thread dataflow analysis. In order to pave the way and find new ways to conserve resources across a variety of domains (i.e., execution speed, chip die area, power efficiency, and computational throughput), we propose a novel framework, termed Contech, to facilitate the analysis of multithreaded program in terms of its communication and execution patterns. We focus the scope on shared memory programs rather than message passing programs, since it is more difficult to analyze the communication and execution patterns for these programs. Discovering patterns of shared memory programs has the potential to allow general purpose computing machines to turn on or off architectural tricks according to application-specific features. Our design of Contech is modular in nature, so we can glean a large variety of information from an architecturally independent representation of the program under examination.
