| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Performance tuning is still a demanding manual task. To improve an application's efficiency, we have to identify its computational kernels, each of which is typically composed of one or more loops. Then various empirical attempts such as loop transformations are made. Thus, it is crucial to learn from the experience of performance tuning experts. As a proof-of-concept, we extracted various facts from performance tuning histories of a few real-world scientific applications, and then constructed a database of that facts. Based on the database, we constructed a few experimental predictive models for promising loop transformation patterns. We also explored a thousand computation-intensive applications to reveal the distribution of kernel classes, each of which is related to expected efficiency and specific tuning patterns. In addition, we constructed a binary classifier for identifying loop kernels and a multi-class classifier for predicting kernel classes.
