This options was earlier used for experiments with the vectorizer, but to my
knowledge is not really used anymore. If anybody needs this, we can always
reintroduce this feature.
llvm-svn: 232934
The BB vectorizer is deprecated and there is no point in generating code for it
any more. This option was introduced when there was not yet any loop vectorizer
in sight. Now being matured, Polly should target the loop vectorizer.

When code generating array index expressions the types of the different
components of the index expressions may not always match. We extend the type of
the index expression (if possible) and assert otherwise.

When we generate code for a whole region we have to respect dominance
and update it too.
The first is achieved with multiple "BBMap"s. Each copied block in the
region gets its own map. It is initialized only with values mapped in
the immediate dominator block, if this block is in the region and was
therefor already copied. This way no values defined in a block that
doesn't dominate the current one will be used.
To update dominance information we check if the immediate dominator of
the original block we want to copy is in the region. If so we set the
immediate dominator of the current block to the copy of the immediate
dominator of the original block.

isl recently introduced a new interface to create run-time checks from
constraint sets. Use this interface to simplify our run-time check generation.
llvm-svn: 230640
This is the code generation for region statements that are created
when non-affine control flow was present in the input. A new
generator, similar to the block or vector generator, for regions is
used to traverse and copy the region statement and to adjust the
control flow inside the new region in the end.

Scops that only read seem generally uninteresting and scops that only write are
most likely initializations where there is also little to optimize. To not
waste compile time we bail early.

This commit imports the latest isl version into lib/External/isl. The changes
relavant for Polly are:
1) Schedule trees [1] have been introduced as a more structured way to
describe schedules. Polly does not yet use them, but we may switch to them
in the near future.
2) Another set of coalescing changes [2] simplifies some data dependences and
removes a couple of code generation artifacts.
We now understand that the following sets can be merged:
{ Stmt_S1[i0, i1] -> Stmt_S2[i0 + i1] :
i0 >= 0 and i1 <= 1023 - i0 and i1 >= 1
Stmt_S1[i0, 0] -> Stmt_S2[i0] : i0 <= 1023 and i0 >= 1}
into:
{ Stmt_S1[i0, i1] -> Stmt_S2[i0 + i1] : i1 <= 1023 - i0 and i1 >= 0 and
i1 >= 1 - i0 and i0 >= 0 }
Changes of this kind reduce unnecessary specialization during code
generation.
- for (int c3 = 0; c3 <= 1023; c3 += 1) {
- if (c3 % 2 == 0) {
- Stmt_for_body3(c1, c3);

- Stmt_for_body3(c1, c3);
- }
+ for (int c3 = 0; c3 <= 1023; c3 += 1)
+ Stmt_for_body3(c1, c3);

This allows us to skip ast and code generation if we did not optimize
a SCoP and will not generate parallel or alias annotations. The
initial heuristic to exit is simple but allows improvements later on.
All failing test cases have been modified to disable early exit, thus
to keep their coverage.

The support is currently limited as we only allow them in the input but do
not emit them in the transformed SCoP due to the possible semantic changes.

This change ensures that the values that represent the array size of a
multi-dimensional access are correctly sign-extended when used to compute a
memory address used in the run-time alias check.
To make the test case more readable, we name the instructions that we generate.
llvm-svn: 225818
Schedule dimensions that have the same constant value accross all statements do
not carry any information, but due to the increased dimensionality of the
schedule cost compile time. To not pay this cost, we remove constant dimensions
if possible.
llvm-svn: 225067
Isl now specifically marks modulo operations that are compared against zero.
They can be implemented with the C/LLVM remainder operation.
We also update a couple of test cases where the output of isl has slightly
changed.
llvm-svn: 223607
This commit drops the Cloog support for Polly. The scripts and
documentation are changed to only use isl as prerequisity. In the code
all Cloog specific parts have been removed and all relevant tests have
been ported to the isl backend when it was created.

SCEV based code generation has been the default for two weeks after having
been tested for a long time. We now drop the support the non-scev-based code
generation.

In case a GEP instruction references into a fixed size array e.g., an access
A[i][j] into an array A[100x100], LLVM-IR does not guarantee that the subscripts
always compute values that are within array bounds. We now derive the set of
parameter values for which all accesses are within bounds and add the assumption
that the scop is only every executed with this set of parameter values.
Example:
void foo(float A[][20], long n, long m {
for (long i = 0; i < n; i++)
for (long j = 0; j < m; j++)
A[i][j] = ...
This loop yields out-of-bound accesses if m is at least 20 and at the same time
at least one iteration of the outer loop is executed. Hence, we assume:
n <= 0 or m <= 20.
Doing so simplifies the dependence analysis problem, allows us to perform
more optimizations and generate better code.
TODO: The location where the GEP instruction is executed is not necessarily the
location where the memory is actually accessed. As a result scanning for GEP[s]
is imprecise. Even though this is not a correctness problem, this imprecision
may result in missed optimizations or non-optimal run-time checks.
In polybench where this mismatch between parametric loop bounds and fixed size
arrays is common, we see with this patch significant reductions in compile time
(up to 50%) and execution time (up to 70%). We see two significant compile time
regressions (fdtd-2d, jacobi-2d-imper), and one execution time regression
(trmm). Both regressions arise due to additional optimizations that have been
enabled by this patch. They can be addressed in subsequent commits.

This patch includes tests where we actually need to adjust the CHECK lines
for SCEV based code generation. Besides these adjustments we add explicit
calls to -polly-codegen-scev=[true|false] and make sure we test both cases.
llvm-svn: 222112
This prevents SCEVs to reference values not valid any more and as a consequence
solves a bug where such values reintroduced during ast generation caused the
independent blocks pass to fail validation.

The isl based backend has been tested since a long time and with the recently
commited OpenMP support the last missing piece of functionality was ported from
the CLooG backend.
The isl based backend gives us interesting new functionality:
- Run-time alias checks (enabled by default)
Optimize scops that contain possibly aliasing pointers. This feature has
largely increased the number of loop nests we consider for optimization.
Thanks Johannes!
- Delinearization (not yet enabled by default)
Model accesses to multi-dimensional arrays precisely. This will allow us to
understand kernels with multi-dimensional VLAs written in Julia, boost::ublas,
coremark or C99.
Thanks Sebastian!
- Generation of higher quality code
Sven and me spent a long time to optimize the quality of the generated code. A
major focus were expressions as they result from modulos/divisions or
piecewise affine expressions (a ? b : c).
- Full/Partial tile separation, polyhedral unrolling
The isl code generation provides functionality to generate specialized code
for core and cleanup loops and to specialize code using polyhedral context
information while unrolling statements.
(not yet exploited in Polly)
- Modifieable access functions
We can now use standard isl functionality to remap memory accesses to new
data locations. A standard use case is the use of shared memory, where
accesses to a larger region in global memory need to be mapped to a smaller
shared memory region using a modulo mapping.
(not yet exploited in Polly)
The cloog based code generation is still available for comparision, but is
scheduled for removal.
llvm-svn: 222101
Instead of parallelizing every parallel outermost loop, we now use a very
minimalistic cost model. Specifically, we assume innermost loops are not
worth parallelising and all non-innermost loops are.
When parallelizing all loops in LNT we got several slowdowns/timeouts due to
us parallelizing innermost loops that are executed only a couple of times
(number of iterations not known statically). With this basic heuristic enabled
LNT does not show any more timeouts, while several interesting loops are still
parallelized.
There are many ways to obtain an improved heuristic. Constructing such an
improvide heuristic from a position of minimal slow-down and zero code size
increase seems to be the best, as it allows us to track progress on LNT.
llvm-svn: 222096
This backend supports besides the classical code generation the upcoming SCEV
based code generation (which the existing CLooG backend does not support
robustly).
OpenMP code generation in the isl backend benefits from our run-time alias
checks such that the set of loops that can possibly be parallelized is a lot
larger.
The code was tested on LNT. We do not regress on builds without -polly-parallel.
When using -polly-parallel most tests work flawlessly, but a few issues still
remain and will be addressed in follow up commits.
SCEV/non-SCEV codegen:
- Compile time failure in ldecod and TimberWolfMC due a problem in our
run-time alias check generation triggered by pointers that escape through
the OpenMP subfunction (OpenMP specific).
- Several execution time failures. Due to the larger set of loops that we now
parallelize (compared to the classical code generation), we currently run
into some timeouts in tests with a lot loops that have a low trip count and
are slowed down by parallelizing them.
SCEV only:
- One existing failure in lencod due to llvm.org/PR21204 (not OpenMP specific)
OpenMP code generation is the last feature that was only available in the CLooG
backend. With the isl backend being the only one supporting features such as
run-time alias checks and delinearization, we will soon switch to use the isl
ast generator by the default and subsequently remove our dependency on CLooG.

Polly was accidently modifying a debug info metadata node when
attempting to generate a new unique metadata node for the loop id.
The problem was that we had dwarf metadata that referred to a
metadata node with a null value, like this:
!6 = ... some dwarf metadata referring to !7 ...
!7 = {null}
When we attempt to generate a new metadata node, we reserve the
first space for self-referential node by setting the first argument
to null and then mutating the node later to refer to itself.
However, because the nodes are uniqued based on pointer values, when
we get the new metadata node it actually referred to an existing
node (!7 in the example). When we went to modify the metadata to
point to itself, we were accidently mutating the dwarf metatdata. We
ended up in this situation:
!6 = ... some dwarf metadata referring to !7 ...
!7 = {!7}
and this causes an assert when generating the debug info. The fix is
simple, we just need to use a unique value when getting a new
metadata node. The MDNode::getTemporary() provides exactly the API
we need (and it is used in clang to generate the unique nodes).

We introduces a new flag -polly-parallel and use it to annotate the for-nodes in
the isl ast that we want to execute thread parallel (e.g., using OpenMP). We
previously already emmitted openmp annotations, but we did this for various
kinds of parallel loops, including some which we can not run in parallel.
With this patch we now have three annotations:
1) #pragma known-parallel [reduction]
2) #pragma omp for
3) #pragma simd
meaning:
1) loop has no loop carried dependences
2) loop will be executed thread-parallel
3) loop can possibly be vectorized
This patch introduces 1) and reduces the use of 2) to only the cases where we
will actually generate thread parallel code.
It is in preparation of openmp code generation in our isl backend.
Legacy:
- We also have a command line option -enable-polly-openmp. This option controls
the OpenMP code generation in CLooG. It will become an alias of
-polly-parallel after the CLooG code generation has been dropped.

This patch moves the SCEV based (re)generation of values before the checking for
scop-constant terms. It enables us to provide SCEV based replacements, which
are necessary to correctly generate OpenMP subfunctions when using the SCEV
based code generation.
When recomputing a new value for a value used in the code of the original scop,
we previously directly returned the same original value for all scop-constant
expressions without even trying to regenerate these values using our SCEV
expression. This is correct when the newly generated code remains fully in the
same function, however in case we want to outline parts of the newly generated
scop into subfunctions, this approach means we do not have any opportunity to
update these values in the SCEV based code generation. (In the non-SCEV based
code generation, we can provide such updates through the GlobalMap). To ensure
we have this opportunity, we first try to regenerate scalar terms with our SCEV
builder and will only return scop-constant expressions if SCEV based code
generation was not possible.
This change should not affect the results of the existing code generation
passes. It only impacts the upcoming OpenMP based code generation.
This commit also adds a test case. This test case passes before and after this
commit. It was added to ensure test coverage for the changed code.
llvm-svn: 221393
We restricted the new access functions to be a subset of the old one
because we want to keep the alignment, however if the alignment is
"not special", thus the default for the type, we can allow any access.

In case the pieceweise affine function used to create an isl_ast_expr
had empty cases (e.g., with contradicting constraints on the
parameters), it was possible that the condition of the isl_ast_expr
select was not a comparison but a constant (thus of type i64).
This patch does two thing:
1) Handle the case the condition of a select is not a i1 type like C.
2) Try to simplify the pieceweise affine functions for the min/max
access when we generate runtime alias checks. That step can often
remove empty or redundant cases as well as redundant constrains.
