| Abstract | The phase-ordering problem is a long standing issue for compiler writers. Most optimizing compilers typically have numerous different code-improving phases, many of which can be applied in any order. These phases interact by enabling or disabling opportunities for other optimization phases to be applied. As a result, varying the order of applying optimization phases to a program can produce different code, with potentially significant performance variation amongst them. Complicating this problem further is the fact that there is no universal optimization phase order that will produce the best code, since the best phase order depends on the function being compiled, the compiler, and the target architecture characteristics. Moreover, finding the optimal optimization sequence for even a single function is hard as the space of attempted optimization phase sequences is huge and the interactions between different optimizations are poorly understood. Most previous studies performed to search for the most effective optimization phase sequence assume the optimization phase order search space to be extremely large, and hence consider exhaustive exploration of this space infeasible. In this paper we show that even though the attempted search space is extremely large, with careful and aggressive pruning it is possible to limit the actual search space with no loss of information so that it can be completely evaluated in a matter of minutes or a few hours for most functions. We were able to exhaustively enumerate all the possible function instances that can be produced by different phase orderings performed by our compiler for more than 98% of the functions in our benchmark suite. In this paper we describe the algorithm we used to make exhaustive search of the optimization phase order space possible. We then analyze this space to automatically calculate relationships between different phases. Finally, we show that the results of this analysis can be used to reduce the compilation time for a conventional batch compiler. |

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.
