| Abstract | Modern processors support hardware-assist instructions (such as TRT and TROT instructions on the IBM System z) to accelerate certain functions such as delimiter search and character conversion. Such special instructions are often used in high-performance libraries, but their exploitation in optimizing compilers has been limited. We devised a new idiom recognition technique based on a topological embedding algorithm to detect idiom patterns in the input programs more aggressively than in previous approaches using exact pattern matching. Our approach can detect a pattern even if the code segment does not exactly match the idiom. For example, we can detect a code segment that includes additional code within the idiom pattern. We also propose an instruction simplification for the idiom recognition. This optimization analyzes all of the usages of the output of the optimized code for a specific idiom. If we find that we do not need an actual value for the output but only a value in a subrange, then we can assign a value in that subrange as the output. The code generation can generate faster code with this optimization. We implemented our new idiom recognition approach based on the Java Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler that is part of the J9 Java Virtual Machine, and we supported several important idioms for the special hardware-assist instructions on the IBM System z and on some models of the IBM System p. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique, we performed two experiments. The first experiment was to see how many more patterns we can detect compared to the previous approach. The second experiment measured the performance improvements over the previous approaches. For the first experiment, we used the Java Compatibility Kit (JCK) API tests. For the second experiment we used the IBM XML parser, SPECjvm98, and SPCjbb2000. In summary, relative to a baseline implementation using exact pattern matching, our algorithm converted 76% more loops in JCK tests. On a z9, we also observed significant average performance improvement of the XML parser by 54%, of SPECjvm98 by 1.9%, and of SPECjbb2000 by 4.4%. Finally, we observed that the JIT compilation time increased by only 0.32% to 0.44%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
