Abstract

Data parallel languages like High Performance Fortran (HPF) are emerging as the architecture independent mode of programming distributed memory parallel machines. In this paper, we present the interprocedural optimizations required for compiling applications having irregular data access patterns, when coded in such data parallel languages. We have developed an Interprocedural Partial Redundancy Elimination (IPRE) algorithm for optimized placement of runtime preprocessing routine and collective communication routines inserted for managing communication in such codes. We also present three new interprocedural optimizations: placement of scatter routines, deletion of data structures and use of coalescing and incremental routines. We then describe how program slicing can be used for further applying IPRE in more complex scenarios. We have done a preliminary implementation of the schemes presented here using the Fortran~D compilation system as the necessary infrastructure. We present experimental results from two codes compiled using our system to demonstrate the efficacy of the presented schemes. (Also cross-referenced as UMIACS-TR-95-108)
