Ralf Karrenberg presents Whole-Function Vectorization (WFV), an approach that allows a compiler to automatically create code that exploits data-parallelism using SIMD instructions. Data-parallel applications such as particle simulations, stock option price estimation or video decoding require the same computations to be performed on huge amounts of data. Without WFV, one processor core executes a single instance of a data-parallel function. WFV transforms the function to execute multiple instances at once using SIMD instructions. The author describes an advanced WFV algorithm that includes a variety of analyses and code generation techniques. He shows that this approach improves the performance of the ... Read more

About Ralf Karrenberg
Ralf Karrenberg received his PhD in computer science at Saarland University in 2015. His seminal research on compilation techniques for SIMD architectures found wide recognition in both academia and the CPU and GPU industry. Currently, he is working for NVIDIA in Berlin. Prior to that, he contributed to research and development for visual effects in blockbuster movies at Weta Digital, ... Read more
Reviews for Automatic SIMD Vectorization of SSA-Based Control Flow Graphs
“This dissertation investigates whole function vectorization, which is an automatic procedure to optimize intermediate scalar compiler code for SIMD (single-instruction multiple-date) architectures. … The thesis is well written and easily understandable by anyone with at least some background in compilation. Examples are generously provided to illustrate the major notions and pseudo-code is presented for all major procedures.” (Andreas Maletti, Mathematical ... Read more
