| Abstract | Modern embedded processors with dedicated address generation unit support memory accesses through auto-increment/decrement addressing mode. The auto-increment/decrement mode, if properly utilized, can save address arithmetic instructions, reduce static and dynamic memory footprint of the program, and speed up the execution as well. Liao [1995, 1996] categorized this problem as Simple Offset Assignment (SOA) and General Offset Assignment (GOA), which involves storage layout of variables and assignment of address registers, respectively, proposing several heuristic solutions. This article proposes a new direction for investigating the solution space of the problem. The general idea [Zhuang 2003] is to perform simplification of the underlying access graph through coalescence of the memory locations of program variables. A comprehensive framework is proposed including coalescence-based offset assignment and post/pre-optimization. Variables not interfering with others (not simultaneously live at any program point) can be coalesced into the same memory location. Coalescing allows simplifications of the access graph yielding better SOA solutions; it also reduces the address register pressure to such low values that some GOA solutions become optimal. Moreover, it can reduce the memory footprint both statically and at runtime for stack variables. Our second optimization (post/pre-optimization) considers both post- and pre-modification mode for optimizing code across basic blocks, which makes it useful. Making use of both addressing modes further reduces SOA/GOA cost and our post/pre-optimization phase is optimal in selecting post or pre mode after variable offsets have been determined. We have shown the advantages of our framework over previous approaches to capture more opportunities to reduce both stack size and SOA/GOA cost, leading to more speedup. |

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.
