Abstract

In this paper,a we present sample performance figures for a new linear algebra-based compilation framework implemented in a research HPF compiler called PARADIGM.The metrics considered include compilation times, execution times, and communication costs. We compare all of these metrics against commercial, industrial strength compilers such as pghpf (v 2.2) and xlhpf (v 1.01) and show the superior benefits of PARADIGM (v 2.0) in all of the metrics used. We also demonstrate how robustly our framework performs in the presence of arbitrary alignments and distributions.The framework's symbolic manipulation capability is derived from an off-the-shelf commercial symbolic analysis software called Mathematica.b Measured metrics for a few popular benchmarks such as Automatic Differentiation and Integration (ADI), Euler Fluxes, TOMCATV and 2-D Explicit Hydrodynamics (EXPL) have been presented.
