High-level software-pipelining in LLVM
Roel Jordans, Henk Corporaal · 2015
Software-pipelining is an important technique for increasing the instruction level parallelism of loops during compilation. Currently, the LLVM compiler infrastructure does not offer this optimization although some target specific implementations do exist. We have implemented a high-level method for software-pipelining within the LLVM framework. By implementing this within LLVM's optimization layer we have taken the first steps towards a target independent software-pipelining method.
