Pipelined Multithreading Generation in a Polyhedral Compiler

State-of-the-art automatic polyhedral parallelizers extract and express parallelism as isolated parallel loops. For example, the Pluto high-level compiler generates and annotates loops with "#pragma omp parallel for" directives. Our goal is to take advantage of pipelined multithreading, a parallelization strategy allowing to address a wider class of codes, currently not handled by automatic parallelizers. Pipelined multithreading requires to interlace iterations of some loops in a controlled way that enables the parallel execution of these iterations. We achieve this using OpenMP clauses such as ordered and nowait. The sketch of our method is to: (1) schedule a SCoP using traditional techniques such as Plutou0027s algorithm; (2) detect potential pipelines in groups of sequential loops; (3) fine-tune the schedule; and (4) generate the resulting code. The fully automatic generation is ongoing work, yet we show on a small set of experiments how pipelined multi-threading permits to parallelize programs which would otherwise not be parallelized.
