tuning of code variants, or alternative implementations of the same computation. Nitro provides a library interface that permits programmers to express code variants along with meta-information that aids the system in selecting among the set of variants at run time. Machine learning is employed to build

Abstract—We present an automatic, empirically tuned code genenrator for Real/Complex FFT and Trigonometric Transforms. The code generator is part of an adaptive and portable FFT computation framework- UHFFT. Performance portability over varying architectures is achieved by generating highly

like sparse matrix-vector multiply (SpMV) have historically run at 10% or less of peak machine speed on cache-based superscalar architectures. Our implementations of SpMV, automatically tuned using a methodology based on empirical-search, can by contrast achieve up to 31% of peak machine speed, and can

In this work we present an analytical model that encompasses the performance and scaling characteristics of an important ASCI application. SAGE (SAIC's Adaptive Grid Eulerian hydrocode) is a multidimensional hydrodynamics code with adaptive mesh refinement. The model is validated against

Abstract—In this paper, we present a runtime compilation and tuning framework for parallel programs. We extend our prior work on our auto-tuner, Active Harmony, for tunable parameters that require code generation (for example, different unroll factors). For such parameters, our auto-tuner generates

This paper presents an analytical model to predict the performance of general-purpose applications on a GPU architecture. The model is designed to provide performance information to an auto-tuning compiler and assist it in narrowing down the search to the more promising implementations. It can also

Computational chemistry codes such as GAMESS and MPQC have been under development for several years and are constantly evolving to include new science and adapt to new high performance computing (HPC) systems. Our work with these codes has given rise to two needs. One is to refactor the codes so

In order to utilize the tremendous computing power of grpahics hardware and to automatically adapt to the fast and frequent changes in its architecture and performance characteristics, this paper implements an automatic tuning system to generate high-performance matrix-multiplication implementation

In this paper we discuss architecture-specific performance tuning for fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) implemented in the UHFFT library. The UHFFT library is an adaptive and portable software library for FFTs developed by the authors. We present the optimization methods used at different levels
