MachIne learning for embedded programs optimization

Objective

The overall objective of this project is to develop compiler technology that can automatically learn how to best optimise programs for reconfigurable heterogeneous embedded processors. If successful we will be able to dramatically reduce the time to market of reconfigurable systems. Rather than developing a specialised compiler by hand for each configuration, our project will produce optimising compilers automatically.

Current hand-crafted approaches to compiler development are no longer sustainable. With each generation of reconfigurable architecture, the compiler development time increases and the performance improvement achieved decreases. As high performance embedded systems move from application specific ASICs to programmable heterogeneous processors, this problem is becoming critical.

This project explores an emerging alternative approach where we use machine learning techniques, developed in the artificial intelligence arena, to learn how to generate compilers automatically. Such an approach, if successful, will have a dramatic impact on reconfigurable systems. This means that for a fixed amount of design time. We can evaluate many more configurations leading to better and more cost-effective performance. If successful, this will enable Europe to increase its dominance in this critical emerging market.
