Compiling Vector Programs for SIMD Devices

VINCI was implemented on the HiLO compiler, an internal compiler used in SPIRAL. Experiments were conducted on two platforms, VMX and SSE2. Testing applications include both automatically-generated programs and manually-written kernels. The results show that up to 77% of the permutation instructions are eliminated and, as a result, the average performance improvement is 48% on VMX and 68% on SSE2. For several applications, near perfect speedups have been achieved on both platforms.
