Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach that integrates compiler optimization of data layout and traditional loop transformations to reduce cache coherence overhead. A formal model based on an interference graph, overview of the optimization algorithms, and an example are given. Excerpts from an empirical evaluation of the complexity of the compiler analysis, and the simulation study of the resulting reductions in bus traffic and execution time, are also presented. Additional details appear in [7].
