This paper describes a general framework for representing iteration-reordering transformations. These transformations can be both matrix-based and non-matrix-based. Transformations are defined by rules for mapping dependence vectors, rules for mapping loop bound expressions, and rules for creating new initialization statements. The framework is extensible, and can be used to represent any iteration-reordering transformation. Mapping rules for several common transformations are included in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
