Janus: Statically-Driven and Profile-Guided Automatic Dynamic Binary Parallelisation
18 February 2019
One of the themes of my research has been and continues to be the exploitation of parallelism in its many forms. I’ve looked into data-level parallelism by improving the performance of SLP by, for example, reducing the number of instructions that are vectorised and (spoiler alert for a future publication) I have a PhD student working on speculative vectorisation. With Sam Ainsworth , formerly my PhD student, now a postdoc, I have published research that exploits memory-level parallelism within the compiler , architecture and in both with a programmable prefetcher . We’ve also looked into taking advantage of parallelism for error detection . However, the first work I did in this area, and the kind of work...
