| Abstract | Applications executing on multicore processors can now easily offload computations to manycore processors, such as Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. However, it requires high levels of expertise and effort to tune such offloaded applications to realize high-performance execution. Previous efforts have focused on optimizing the execution of offloaded computations on manycore processors. However, we observe that the data transfer overhead between multicore and manycore processors, and the limited device memories of manycore processors often constrain the performance gains that are possible by offloading computations. In this paper, we present three source-to-source compiler optimizations that can significantly improve the performance of applications that offload computations to manycore processors. The first optimization automatically transforms offloaded codes to enable data streaming, which overlaps data transfer between multicore and manycore processors with computations on these processors to hide data transfer overhead. This optimization is also designed to minimize the memory usage on manycore processors, while achieving the optimal performance. The second compiler optimization re-orders computations to regularize irregular memory accesses. It enables data streaming and factorization on manycore processors, even when the memory access patterns in the original source codes are irregular. Finally, our new shared memory mechanism provides efficient support for transferring large pointer-based data structures between hosts and manycore processors. Our evaluation shows that the proposed compiler optimizations benefit 9 out of 12 benchmarks. Compared with simply offloading the original parallel implementations of these benchmarks, we can achieve 1.16x-52.21x speedups. |

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.
