Title 1: Retargetable Code Generation for DSP Processors
Title 2: Instruction Scheduling and Modulo-Scheduling for DSP Processors
Abstract:
Every embedded system of today has a complex microprocessor in it, and
frequently, it is a digital signal processor. Examples are mobile
phones, hand-held patient monitoring systems etc. Such microprocessors
have plenty of computing power and are difficult to program in
assembly language. However, code generation technology for such
processors is still not mature.
In the first talk, the tree pattern matching approach to machine code
generation with adaptations needed to handle DAGs and SIMD
instructions will be dealt with. The limitations of other approaches,
the advantages of the tree pattern-matching approach, and the basic
construction of a tree-pattern-matching-based code generator will be
explained.
In the second talk, intruction scheduling approaches used for DSP
architectures, viz., listscheduling and automaton-based scheduling
will be highlighted. The different approaches to Modulo-scheduling,
viz., iterative scheduling, slack scheduling and automaton-based
scheduling will also be explained. The adaptation of these techniques
to clusterarchitectures, which are among current research efforts,
will be indicated.
Brief biography:
Y.N. Srikant received his Master's degree and Ph.D in Computer Science
from the Computer Science and Automation department of the Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He is the recipient of Young
Scientist medal of the Indian National Science Academy. He has guided
a number of Ph.D, and Master's degree students in the last 15 years
and has consulted for a numberof industries. His areas of interest
are compiler design, software architecture and distributed objects.
He is one of the editors of a handbook of advanced topics in compiler
design to be published by CRC Press in September this year. Among his
current research projects are: Just-In-Time Compilation for the
Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime and High Performance Fortran
compilation for a Linux-based cluster. He is currently a Professor and
the Chairman of the Computer Science and Automation at the Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
