Description

The existing implementation of the OpenACC "kernels" construct in GCC
is unable to cope with many language constructs found in real HPC
codes which generally leads to very bad performance. This talk
presents upcoming changes to the "kernels" implementation that improve
the performance significantly:

  • A more unified internal representation of "kernels" and "parallel"
    regions as a foundation for the other improvements.
  • Data-dependence analysis based on Graphite.
  • Improvements to Graphite (e.g. runtime alias checking) to enable its
    use on more code.
  • Language Frontend (e.g. delinearization of array accesses for
    Fortran) and Middle-end changes (e.g. a "omp_data_optimize" pass to
    derive synthetic OpenACC "private" clauses on "kernels") that enable
    Graphite to analyze more code.
