| Abstract | Typically compilers provide a wide choice of optimization flags that can be used to improve the application performance. The process of searching for the best flag combination for a given application is referred to Flag Mining. Brute force ways of flag mining are time consuming as it requires a number of runs with different combinations of flags. Flag mining techniques that are based on machine learning rely on a database consisting of measurements of application run-times obtained with a large number of combinations of binaries compiled with different flags. This work quantifies the impact of using reduced inputs in flag mining. Reduced inputs are much smaller inputs than real representative inputs and cause the application to run for less than 10 percent of original execution time. Some examples of reduced inputs are the train input used in SPEC benchmarks, MinneSPEC inputs. Using reduced inputs instead of full inputs would reduce time/space overhead of flag mining significantly when used in brute force or machine learning based methods. However inorder to use reduced inputs for flag mining, the behavior of the application compiled with a set of flags, when presented with reduced inputs should give similar benefits on full representative inputs. This can happen only if reduced inputs are an accurate representatives of ref inputs in the context of application performance. Our experiments show that reduced inputs correlate to full representative inputs for 5 out of 7 SPEC CPU2006 benchmarks on all 11 flag combinations considered with the GCC compiler and are found to reduce the experimentation time of flag mining by up to 82%. We also outline the necessary conditions that need to be satisfied by reduced inputs to qualify for use in flag mining. |

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.
