<h1>Polly: Execute the individual Polly passes manually</h1>
<!--=====================================================================-->

<p>
This example presents the individual passes that are involved when optimizing
code with Polly. We show how to execute them individually and explain for each
which analysis is performed or what transformation is applied. In this example
the polyhedral transformation is user-provided to show how much performance
improvement can be expected by an optimal automatic optimizer.</p>

The files used and created in this example are available in the Polly checkout
in the folder <em>www/experiments/matmul</em>. They can be created automatically
by running the <em>www/experiments/matmul/runall.sh</em> script.

<ol>
<li><h4>Create LLVM-IR from the C code</h4>

Polly works on LLVM-IR. Hence it is necessary to translate the source files into
LLVM-IR. If more than on file should be optimized the files can be combined into
a single file with llvm-link.

<pre class="code">clang -S -emit-llvm matmul.c -o matmul.s</pre>
</li>


<li><h4>Load Polly automatically when calling the 'opt' tool</h4>

Polly is not built into opt or bugpoint, but it is a shared library that needs
to be loaded into these tools explicitally. The Polly library is called
LVMPolly.so. For a cmake build it is available in the build/lib/ directory,
autoconf creates the same file in
build/tools/polly/{Release+Asserts|Asserts|Debug}/lib. For convenience we create
an alias that automatically loads Polly if 'opt' is called.
<pre class="code">
export PATH_TO_POLLY_LIB="~/polly/build/lib/"
alias opt="opt -load ${PATH_TO_POLLY_LIB}/LLVMPolly.so"</pre>
</li>

<li><h4>Prepare the LLVM-IR for Polly</h4>

Polly is only able to work with code that matches a canonical form. To translate
the LLVM-IR into this form we use a set of canonicalication passes. For this
example only three passes are necessary. To get good coverage on more
complicated input files often more canonicalization passes are needed. pollycc
contains a list of passes that have shown to be beneficial.
<pre class="code">opt -S -mem2reg -loop-simplify -polly-indvars matmul.s &gt; matmul.preopt.ll</pre></li>

<li><h4>Show the SCoPs detected by Polly (optional)</h4>

To understand if Polly was able to detect SCoPs, we print the
structure of the detected SCoPs. In our example two SCoPs were detected. One in
'init_array' the other in 'main'.

<pre class="code">opt -basicaa -polly-cloog -analyze -q matmul.preopt.ll</pre>

<pre>
init_array():
for (c2=0;c2&lt;=1023;c2++) {
  for (c4=0;c4&lt;=1023;c4++) {
    Stmt_5(c2,c4);
  }
}

main():
for (c2=0;c2&lt;=1023;c2++) {
  for (c4=0;c4&lt;=1023;c4++) {
    Stmt_4(c2,c4);
    for (c6=0;c6&lt;=1023;c6++) {
      Stmt_6(c2,c4,c6);
    }
  }
}
</pre>
</li>
<li><h4>Highlight the detected SCoPs in the CFGs of the program (requires graphviz/dotty)</h4>

Polly can use graphviz to graphically show a CFG in which the detected SCoPs are
highlighted. It can also create '.dot' files that can be translated by
the 'dot' utility into various graphic formats.

<pre class="code">opt -basicaa -view-scops -disable-output matmul.preopt.ll

<li><h4>Export jscop files</h4>

Polly can export the polyhedral representation in so called jscop files. Jscop
files contain the polyhedral representation stored in a JSON file.

Writing SCoP 'for.cond =&gt; for.end30' in function 'main' to './main___%for.cond---%for.end30.jscop'.
</pre></li>

<li><h4>Import the changed jscop files and print the updated SCoP structure
(optional)</h4>
<p>Polly can reimport jscop files, in which the schedules of the statements are
changed. These changed schedules are used to descripe transformations.
It is possible to import different jscop files by providing the postfix
of the jscop file that is imported.</p>
<p> We apply three different transformations on the SCoP in the main function.
The jscop files describing these transformations are hand written (and available
in <em>www/experiments/matmul</em>).

<h5>No Polly</h5>

<p>As a baseline we do not call any Polly code generation, but only apply the
normal -O3 optimizations.</p>

<li><h4>Create the executables</h4>

Create one executable optimized with plain -O3 as well as a set of executables
optimized in different ways with Polly. One changes only the loop structure, the
other adds tiling, the next adds vectorization and finally we use OpenMP
parallelism.
<pre class="code">
llc matmul.normalopt.ll -o matmul.normalopt.s &amp;&amp; \
    gcc matmul.normalopt.s -o matmul.normalopt.exe
llc matmul.polly.interchanged.ll -o matmul.polly.interchanged.s &amp;&amp; \

<li><h4>Compare the runtime of the executables</h4>

By comparing the runtimes of the different code snippets we see that a simple
loop interchange gives here the largest performance boost. However by adding
vectorization and by using OpenMP we can further improve the performance
significantly.
