  1. Mitigating the Compiler Optimization Phase-Ordering Problem using Machine Learning Sameer Kulkarni John Cavazos

  2. Introduction to Phase Ordering Present State-of-the-Art Proposed Solution • Understand code • Predict optimization An example Results Questions

  3. What is Phase Ordering? Change ordering of a given set optimizations

  4. Why is it important? • Plethora of optimizations to choose. • All interact with each other • Register Allocation & Instruction Scheduling • Loop Unrolling & CSE • Branch Optimization & Static Analysis

  5. Introduction to Phase Ordering Present State-of-the-Art Proposed Solution • Understand code • Predict optimization An example Results Questions

  6. Present Solutions • Developer’s intuition • Using a static sequence using search • Pseudo Random Search (ML) • Hill Climbing, • Genetic Algorithm

  7. Using Genetic Algorithms… Generation 1 Generation 2

  8. Disadvantages of State-of-art • One size fits all approach • Change in Compiler • Change in Architecture • Change in Code • Expensive Search

  9. A simple experiment Select a set of optimizations, and set a sequence length Generate 500 random sequences Use each of the optimization sequence to compile and run a set of benchmarks

  10. Introduction to Phase Ordering Present State-of-the-Art Proposed Solution • Understand code • Predict optimization An example Results Questions

  11. Proposed Solution

  12. Static Source Code Features • Method level information • Instruction Mix • conditionals • memory ops • size • locals space

  13. Static Source Code Features • Method level information • Instruction Mix • conditionals • memory ops • size • locals space

  14. Proposed Solution

  15. Neural Network

  16. Proposed Solution

  17. Neuro Evolution of Augmented Topologies Evolutionary approach to ANNs Starts with a minimally connected network

  18. Using NEAT… Generation n Generation 1 Generation 2
