  • A Compiler Front-End for the WOOL Parallelization Library
    A compiler front-end for the WOOL Parallelization library GEORGIOS VARISTEAS KTH Information and Communication Technology Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2010 TRITA-ICT-EX-2010:291 Royal Institute of Technology A compiler front-end for the WOOL Parallelization library Georgios Varisteas yorgos(@)kth.se 15 October, 2010 A master thesis project conducted at Examiner: Mats Brorsson Supervisor: Karl-Filip Faxén Abstract WOOL is a C parallelization library developed at SICS by Karl-Filip Faxén. It provides the tools for develop- ing fine grained independent task based parallel applications. This library is distinguished from other similar projects by being really fast and light; it manages to spawn and synchronize tasks in under 20 cycles. However, all software development frameworks which expose radically new functionality to a programming language, gain a lot by having a compiler to encapsulate and implement them. WOOL does not differ from this category. This project is about the development of a source-to-source compiler for the WOOL parallelization library, supporting an extension of the C language with new syntax that implements the WOOL API, transform- ing it and eventually outputting GNU C code. Additionally, this compiler is augmented with a wrapper script that performs compilation to machine code by using GCC. This script is configurable and fully automatic. The main advantage gained from this project is to satisfy the need for less overhead in software development with WOOL. The simplified syntax results in faster and more economical code writing while being less error- prone. Moreover, this compiler enables the future addition of many more features not applicable with the current state of WOOL as a library.

  • Gnu Compiler Collection Backend Port for the Integral Parallel Architecture
    U.P.B. Sci. Bull., Series C, Vol. 74, Iss. 3, 2012 ISSN 1454-234x GNU COMPILER COLLECTION BACKEND PORT FOR THE INTEGRAL PARALLEL ARCHITECTURE Radu HOBINCU1, Valeriu CODREANU2, Lucian PETRICĂ3 Lucrarea de față prezintă procesul de portare a compilatorului GCC oferit de către Free Software Foundation pentru arhitectura hibridă Integral Parallel Architecture, constituită dintr-un controller multithreading și o mașina vectorială SIMD. Este bine cunoscut faptul că motivul principal pentru care mașinile hibride ca și cele vectoriale sunt dificil de utilizat eficient, este programabilitatea. În această lucrare vom demonstra că folosind un compilator open-source și facilitățile de care acesta dispune, putem ușura procesul de dezvoltare software pentru aplicații complexe. This paper presents the process of porting the GCC compiler offered by the Free Software Foundation, for the hybrid Integral Parallel Architecture composed of an interleaved multithreading controller and a vectorial SIMD machine. It is well known that the main reason for which hybrid and vectorial machines are difficult to use efficiently, is programmability. In this paper we well show that by using an open-source compiler and the features it provides, we can ease the software developing process for complex applications. Keywords: integral parallel architecture, multithreading, interleaved multithreading, bubble-free embedded architecture for multithreading, compiler, GCC, backend port 1. Introduction The development of hardware technology in the last decades has required the programmers to offer support for the new features and performances of the last generation processors. This support comes as more complex compilers that have to use the machines' capabilities at their best, and more complex operating systems that need to meet the users' demand for speed, flexibility and accessibility.

  • Appendix B Development Tools
    Appendix B Development Tools Problem Statement Although more proprietary packages are available, there are abundant open source packages, giving its users unprecedented flexibility and freedom of choice, that most users can find an application that exactly meets their needs. However, it is also this pool of choices that drive individuals to share a wide range of preferences and biases. As a result, Linux/Open source packages (and softeware in general) is flooded with religious wars over programming languages, editors, licences, etc. Some are worthwhile debates, others are meaningless flamewars. Throughout Appendix B and next chapter, Appendix C, we intend to summarize a few essential tools (from our point of view) that may help readers to know the aspects and how-to of (1) development tools including programming, debugging, and maintaining, and (2) network experiment tools including name-addressing, perimeter probing, traffic-monitoring, benchmarking, simulating/emulating, and finally hacking. Section B.1 guides readers to begin the developing journey with programming tools. A good first step would be writing the first piece of codes using a Visual Improved (vim) text editor. Then compiling it to binary executables with GNU C compiler (gcc), and furthermore offloading some repetitive compiling steps to the make utility. The old 80/20 rule still works on programming where 80% of your codes come from 20% of your efforts leaving 80% of your efforts go buggy about your program. Therefore you would need some debugging tools as dicussed in Section 1.2. including source-level debugging, GNU Debugger (gdb), or a GUI fasion approach, Data Display Debugger (ddd), and debug the kernel itself using remote Kernel GNU Debugger (kgdb).
