Loop tiling, as one of the most important compiler optimizations,
is beneficial for both parallel machines and uniprocessors with a
memory hierarchy. This book explores the use of loop tiling for
reducing communication cost and improving parallelism for
distributed memory machines. The author provides mathematical
foundations, investigates loop permutability in the framework of
nonsingular loop transformations, discusses the necessary
machineries required, and presents state-of-the-art results for
finding communication- and time-minimal tiling choices. Throughout
the book, theorems and algorithms are illustrated with numerous
examples and diagrams. The techniques presented in Loop Tiling for
Parallelism can be adapted to work for a cluster of workstations,
and are also directly applicable to shared-memory machines once the
machines are modeled as BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel) machines.
Features and key topics: Detailed review of the mathematical
foundations, including convex polyhedra and cones; Self-contained
treatment of nonsingular loop transformations, code generation, and
full loop permutability; Tiling loop nests by rectangles and
parallelepipeds, including their mathematical definition,
dependence analysis, legality test, and code generation; A complete
suite of techniques for generating SPMD code for a tiled loop nest;
Up-to-date results on tile size and shape selection for reducing
communication and improving parallelism; End-of-chapter references
for further reading. Researchers and practitioners involved in
optimizing compilers and students in advanced computer architecture
studies will find this a lucid and well-presented reference work
with numerous citations to original sources.
