Collective Tuning Initiative
The Collective Tuning Initiative is a community-driven initiative which aims to develop free collaborative open-source research tools with unified API for code and architecture characterization and optimization. This enables the sharing of benchmarks, data sets and optimization cases from the community in the open optimization repository through unified web services to predict better optimizations or architecture designs (provided there is enough information collected in the repository from multiple users).[1][2] Using common research-and-development tools should help to improve the quality and reproducibility of research into code, architecture design and optimization, encouraging innovation in this area.
The tools and repository include:
- Collective Optimization Database:[3] Open repository to share optimization cases from the community, provide web services and plugins to analyze collective optimization data and predict program optimizations based on statistical and machine-learning techniques and improve the quality and reproducibility of the compiler (and architecture research)
- Online machine learning-based program optimization predictor: Suggests optimization-improving factors such as execution time, code size and compilation time, based on similarities between programs (program features)
- Continuous Collective Compilation Framework: Automates and distribute iterative feedback-directed exploration of large optimization spaces by multiple users
- Interactive Compilation Interface: Opens and transforms production compilers into stable interactive research tool sets using an event-driven plugin system to avoid the development of new research compilers from scratch
- Collective benchmark with multiple data sets: Enables realistic benchmarking and research on iterative compilation and run-time adaptation.
- Universal Adaptation Framework: Enables run-time adaptation and optimization of statically-compiled programs for heterogeneous, multi-core architectures.
