AUTOMATIC PIPELINE COMPOSITION

摘要

A method and apparatus for automatic pipeline are provided herein. Syntax elements may be manually inserted into the code, or automatically injected into the code. The syntax elements may specify hints such as data type parameters to independent functions allowing the functions to be automatically coalesced into a single loop, providing optimized data accesses to be coalesced for each function in the pipeline within the single loop. A run-time system produces optimized machine code for a target processor using syntax elements to guide the optimizations. Additionally, the pipeline may be executed. The pipeline includes the coalesced functions and data accesses.

1. A system for automatic pipeline composition, wherein the system comprises:
a processor, wherein the processor executes code; and a code store, wherein syntax elements are injected into a code within the code store, wherein the syntax elements specify independent functions to be coalesced into a single loop, and data accesses to be coalesced for each function.
