Algorithms • Use a combination of graph theory and visualization to understand fundamental resource requirements for key algorithms • How many concurrent functional units can be used (how far can we go with packing FPUs on a single chip?) • Data Locality (hierarchical data locality) • Memory bandwidth requirements • Latency tolerance (maximum load-to-use distance) • Dependency graph sources • Assembly language conversion (visualize register transfers & operational dependencies) • Modified GCC (create hybrid dataflow/control-flow graph) • Trace-driven address resolution (converts hybrid dataflow/control-flow graph into a pure dataflow graph)
