ABSTRACT:
Selecting suitable optimizations for a particular class of applications is difficult because of the complex interactions between the optimizations themselves and the involved hardware. It has been shown that machine-learning based driven optimizations often outperform bundled optimizations or human-constructed heuristics.
In this dissertation, we propose to use different modeling techniques and characterizations to solve the current issues in machine-learning based selection of compiler optimizations.
In the first part, we evaluate two different state-of-the-art predictive modeling techniques against a new modeling technique we invented, named the tournament predictor. We show that this novel technique can outperform the other two state-of-the-art techniques.
In the second, we evaluate three different program characterization techniques including performance counters, reactions, and source code features. We also propose a novel technique using control flow graphs (CFG), which we named graph-based characterization.
In the last part, we explored different graph-based IRs other than CFGs to characterize programs.
