§CubeCL Optimizer
A library that parses CubeCL IR into a control flow graph, transforms it to static single-assignment form and runs various optimizations on it. The order of operations is as follows:
- Parse root scope recursively into a control flow graph
- Run optimizations that must be done before SSA transformation
- Analyze variable liveness
- Transform the graph to pruned SSA form
- Run post-SSA optimizations and analyses in a loop until no more improvements are found
- Speed
The output is represented as a petgraph graph of BasicBlocks terminated by ControlFlow.
This can then be compiled into actual executable code by walking the graph and generating all
phi nodes, instructions and branches.
§Representing PhiInstruction in non-SSA languages
Phi instructions can be simulated by generating a mutable variable for each phi, then assigning
value to it in each relevant block.
Structs§
- Atomic
Counter - An atomic counter with a simplified interface.
- Basic
Block - A basic block of instructions interrupted by control flow. Phi nodes are assumed to come before any instructions. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_block
- Const
Array - Edge
Index - Edge identifier.
- Node
Index - Node identifier.
- Optimizer
- An optimizer that applies various analyses and optimization passes to the IR.
- Optimizer
Builder - Build an optimizer with IR transformers
- PhiInstruction
- A phi node that picks its value based on the
BasicBlockthat came immediately before. For more information, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single-assignment_form - Program
- Shared
Liveness - Shared liveness works the other way around from normal liveness, since shared memory lives
forever by default. So any use (read or write) inserts it as live, while only
freechanges the state to dead. - Uniformity
Enums§
- Block
Use - Control
Flow - Control flow that terminates a block
- Transform
Action - The action that should be performed on an instruction, returned by
IrTransformer::maybe_transform
Traits§
- IrTransformer
- A transformer that can modify instructions before they get added to the control flow graph.
Functions§
- visit_
noop - A visitor that does nothing.
