Hi, It's nice that the proposal 'Automatic parallelization in Graphite' is accepted. Which means I will be working with great Graphtie developers this summer, and trying to implement the project .
I have set up a blog for this project, which will mainly about this project: 1. plans 2. what I have done 3. related Graphite internals You can subscribe to it if you like: http://summergraphite.blogspot.com/ Here is a general plan for this project, keep you in loop, and feel free to comment :) 1. Mark the innermost loop parallel [done] 2. Try to schedule autopar pass after Graphite, and enable code generation if flag_graphite_force_parallel is set - There should be some discussion with Razya about her plan about the autopar part - But before that, I'll try to schedule autopar first 3. I may try to write testcases for the loops that should be parallel, from simple to hard, and check autopar's code generation part, make sure this works correctly as we expected. - The testcases is important. There should be some detailed discussion maybe with Sebastian and Konrad. To see what kind of loop we can/decide to handle. - Check autopar's code generation with flag_graphite_force_parallel set with these testcases, report bugs if it goes wrong. 4. Try to write code for deciding if a loop can be parallel with data dependency test under this polyhedral model. - Try to understand the interface of data dependency test - Write code, if data dependency success, mark the loop parallel Cheers, Li
