Abstract: In one example, a device includes one or more processors configured to determine a set of optimization pass configuration data for code of a software program to be compiled, wherein the optimization pass configuration data defines a sequence of optimization passes for the software program during compilation, and execute the sequence of optimization passes on code for the software program based on the set of optimization pass configuration data.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a compiling processor configured to: generate, by at least one of a group consisting of a compiler and a runtime executing on the compiling processor, arguments for executing a compiled kernel, determine, by the at least one of the group executing on the compiling processor, whether a first memory reference to a first memory region and a second memory reference to a second memory region of the arguments refer to a same memory region, generate, by the at least one of the group, metadata associated with the first memory reference and the second memory reference based on the determination, wherein the metadata indicates a relationship between the first memory region and the second memory region. The at least one of the compiler and the runtime may recompile the kernel based on the metadata, and instruct a target processor to execute the recompiled kernel.

Abstract: A temperature sensor may sense the temperature of a multi-core processor. In response to the temperature of the multi-core processor exceeding a temperature threshold for the multi-core processor, one or more busy processor cores of the multi-core processor may be power collapsed without reducing clock speed of the multi-core processor.

Abstract: In one example, a device includes one or more processors configured to determine an allocated time for execution of an optimization pass for optimizing code for a software program, execute at least some instructions of the optimization pass on the code, and, in response to determining that an actual time for execution of the optimization pass has exceeded the allocated time for execution, preventing execution of subsequent instructions of the optimization pass.
