【摘要】 软件流水能够加快循环的执行速度.模调度是一种被广泛采用的软件流水的启发式.为了改善存储系统,cache使用了分级机制,但这也带来了额外的存储延迟-cache代价.证明了模调度可能导致cache代价,并提出了一种可以避免模调度的cache代价的PCPMS(preventcachepenaltyinmoduloscheduling)算法.实验结果表明,PCPMS能够避免模调度中的cache代价,提高程序性能.更多还原

【Abstract】 Software pipelining can speedup the loop execution. Modulo scheduling is a widely used heuristic for software pipelining. Cache hierarchies can improve memory systems, but probably all processor implementations introduce additional delays (cache penalty). This paper demonstrates possible cache penalty due to modulo scheduling, and presents an algorithm named Prevent Cache Penalty in Modulo Scheduling (PCPMS), which can prevent cache penalty due to modulo scheduling. Experimental results show that PCPMS can prevent cache penalty and improve the performance of programs.更多还原
