Data layout transformation exploiting memory-level parallelism in structured grid many-core applications
I-Jui Sung, John A. Stratton, Wen‐mei Hwu · 2010
We present automatic data layout transformation as an effective compiler performance optimization for memory-bound structured grid applications. Structured grid applications include stencil codes and other code structures using a dense, regular grid as the primary data structure. Fluid dynamics and heat distribution, which both solve partial differential equations on a discretized representation of space, are representative of many important structured grid applications.
