A utilização de memória local de sistemas embarcados de tempo real para sistemas de alto desempenho com processadores multi-core tornou-se um fator importante para satisfazer restrições de prazos rígidos. No entanto, os desafios residem na área de gestão eficiente da hierarquia de memória, como a decomposição de grandes dados em pequenos blocos para caber na memória local e a transferência de blocos para reutilização e substituição. Para resolver esse problema, este artigo apresenta um método de otimização de compilador que gerencia automaticamente a memória local de processadores multi-core. O método seleciona e mapeia dados multidimensionais em blocos de memória especificados por software, chamados Blocos Ajustáveis. Esses blocos são hierarquicamente divisíveis com tamanhos variados definidos pelas características da aplicação de entrada. Além disso, o método introduz estruturas de mapeamento chamadas Template Arrays para manter os índices dos dados multidimensionais decompostos. O trabalho proposto é implementado no compilador de paralelização automática OSCAR e as avaliações foram realizadas no processador Renesas RP2 de 8 núcleos. Resultados experimentais do NAS Parallel Benchmark, benchmark SPEC e aplicações multimídia mostram a eficácia do método, obtendo acelerações máximas de 20.44 com 8 núcleos utilizando memória local a partir de versões sequenciais de núcleo único que usam memória off-chip.

Abstract: Utilization of local memory from real-time embedded systems to high performance systems with multi-core processors has become an important factor for satisfying hard deadline constraints. However, challenges lie in the area of efficiently managing the memory hierarchy, such as decomposing large data into small blocks to fit onto local memory and transferring blocks for reuse and replacement. To address this issue, this paper presents a compiler optimization method that automatically manage local memory of multi-core processors. The method selects and maps multi-dimensional data onto software specified memory blocks called Adjustable Blocks. These blocks are hierarchically divisible with varying sizes defined by the features of the input application. Moreover, the method introduces mapping structures called Template Arrays to maintain the indices of the decomposed multi-dimensional data. The proposed work is implemented on the OSCAR automatic parallelizing compiler and evaluations were performed on the Renesas RP2 8-core processor. Experimental results from NAS Parallel Benchmark, SPEC benchmark, and multimedia applications show the effectiveness of the method, obtaining maximum speed-ups of 20.44 with 8 cores utilizing local memory from single core sequential versions that use off-chip memory.
