| Abstract | Parallel loops account for the greatest amount of parallelism in scientific and numerical codes. For example, most of the DO loops in SPEC CFP2000 and SPEC OMPM2001 are of DOALL type and account for a large percentage of the total execution time. One of the ways to exploit parallelism is to partition the iteration space of a DOALL loop amongst different processors in a parallel processor system. Naturally, a good partitioning is of key importance to achieve high performance and for efficient use of multiprocessor systems. Although a significant amount of work has been done in partitioning and scheduling of loops with both rectangular and non-rectangular iteration spaces, the problem of partitioning loops with conditionals has not been addressed so far to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we present a mathematical model for partitioning parallel nested loops, both perfect and non-perfect, with conditionals, where the expressions in a conditional are affine functions of the outer loop indices. We present a loop transformation based on elimination of redundant constraints bounding the iteration space of a nested loop. The transformation plays a critical role during the (static) partitioning process as it helps to capture the "exact" lower and upper bounds (can be either a constant or symbolic) of the loop indices. We generate a canonical form of the loop nest using the transformation and employ the geometric approach we proposed earlier (in [1, 2]) for partitioning the iteration space along an axis corresponding to the outermost loop. For cases in which such a transformation does not exist, we propose a general approach for loop canonicalization. We present several examples from the literature and numerical packages to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach. |

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.
