Next Monday (17/1/2005), 18:30, the Haifa Linux Club will once
again meet to hear Dorit Naishlos from IBM HRL talk about:
Autovectorization in GCC
Vectorization is an optimization technique that has traditionally targeted
vector processors. The importance of this optimization has increased in
recent years with the introduction of SIMD (single instruction multiple
data) extensions to general purpose processors, and with the growing
significance of applications that can benefit from this functionality.
With the adoption of the new Tree SSA optimization framework, GCC is ready
to take on the challenge of automatic vectorization. In this talk we
describe the design and implementation of a loop-based vectorizer in GCC.
We discuss the new issues that arise when vectorizing for SIMD extensions
as opposed to traditional vectorization, and the challenges of doing that
in a multi-platform compiler such as GCC.
We meet in the Technion, Taub 3. See http://www.haifux.org/where.html
for arrival details.
Attendance is free, and you are all invited!
We are always looking for interesting lecture ideas, and we have
already begun scheduling the 2005 season!
