Robust Automatic Vector Accelerator Compiler
Original language description
RAVAC (Robust Automatic Vector Accelerator Compiler) is a tool that discovers vector computations in C language programs that can be off-loaded to programmable or reconfigurable accelerators and transforms input program so that the accelerator is used. Development of this tool was started during the SMECY project in order to automatically compile for the UTIA's ASVP platform and we plan to extend it in the future to a more general tool that is able to use accelerators automatically. Before the RAVAC name was chosen, the developed compiler was in the context of the SMECY project known as BUT compiler of EdkDSP backend. On platforms such as UTIA's ASVP or Xilinx's Zynq, accelerators are loosely coupled, this means that the accelerator has either access to the main memory or has some local memories accessible by the general purpose processor. A tool that aims to automatically use such accelerators has three main responsibilities: 1) identify parts of code that are often executed and can b

Technical parameters
Jedná se o překladač pro hardwarovou platformu ASVP využívající překladačů Rose Compiler (http://rosecompiler.org/) a LLVM (http://llvm.org/). Umožňuje automaticky využívat floating-point akcelerátory poskytované platformou ASVP, kde centrálním procesorem je MicroBlaze (http://sp.utia.cz/index.php?ids=expert/fpaccel). Ověřeno na platformě ASVP v2.1 se dvěma akcelerátory, získjané zrychlení se liší v rozmězí 10%-300% oproti překladu se standardními nástroji pro MicroBlaze. Pro podrobnosti licenčních podmínek konzultujte: Mgr. Ing. Tomáš Urban, Božetěchova 2, 612 66 Brno, 541 141 499.
