Abstract: In a system for enabling configuration of an ensemble of several solvers, such that the ensemble can efficiently solve a constraint problem, for each one of several candidate configurations, an array of scores is computed. The array corresponds to a statistical parameter related to a problem solution, and the computation is based on, at least in part, a set of features associated with the problem. One candidate configuration is assigned to a solver, and based on the array of scores associated with that candidate configuration the same or a different candidate configuration is assigned to a another solver. A system for dynamically reconfiguring an ensemble of solvers obtains runtime data from several solvers, and a new configuration is determined by applying a machine learning and/or heuristic analysis procedure to the runtime data. The configuration of a solver may be updated according to the new configuration while that solver is running.

Abstract: In a system for automatic generation of event-driven, tuple-space based programs from a sequential specification, a hierarchical mapping solution can target different runtimes relying on event-driven tasks (EDTs). The solution uses loop types to encode short, transitive relations among EDTs that can be evaluated efficiently at runtime. Specifically, permutable loops translate immediately into conservative point-to-point synchronizations of distance one. A runtime-agnostic which can be used to target the transformed code to different runtimes.

Abstract: In a system for storing in memory a tensor that includes at least three modes, elements of the tensor are stored in a mode-based order for improving locality of references when the elements are accessed during an operation on the tensor. To facilitate efficient data reuse in a tensor transform that includes several iterations, on a tensor that includes at least three modes, a system performs a first iteration that includes a first operation on the tensor to obtain a first intermediate result, and the first intermediate result includes a first intermediate-tensor. The first intermediate result is stored in memory, and a second iteration is performed in which a second operation on the first intermediate result accessed from the memory is performed, so as to avoid a third operation, that would be required if the first intermediate result were not accessed from the memory.

Abstract: A scheduling system can schedule several operations for parallel execution on a number of work processors. At least one of the operations is not to be executed, and the determination of which operation or operations are not to be executed and which ones are to be executed can be made only at run time. The scheduling system partitions a subset operations that excludes the one or more operation that are not to be executed into several groups based on, at least in part, an irregularity of operations resulting from the one or more operation that are not to be executed. In addition, the partitioning is based on, at least in part, locality of data elements associated with the subset of operations to be executed or loading of the several work processors.

Abstract: Mechanisms for selective code generation optimization for an advanced dual-representation polyhedral loop transformation framework are provided. The mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments address the weaknesses of the known polyhedral loop transformation based approaches by providing mechanisms for performing code generation transformations on individual statement instances in an intermediate representation generated by the polyhedral loop transformation optimization of the source code. These code generation transformations have the important property that they do not change program order of the statements in the intermediate representation. This property allows the result of the code generation transformations to be provided back to the polyhedral loop transformation mechanisms in a program statement view, via a new re-entrance path of the illustrative embodiments, for additional optimization.
