[MAGEEC] Hello, and question from a newbie to the list

[Ed Jones]

Hi all,

I am the one working on the TSERO project which is the follow-on project
for MAGEEC.

The original MAGEEC project was aimed at optimizing compilers for energy
usage on embedded systems, however the technique should work at any
scale from embedded to desktop to HPC. At the moment MAGEEC mainly works
as a plugin for GCC, however there is also a MAGEEC enable version of LLVM.

MAGEEC is generic, and it can be used for things other than energy
optimization on embedded systems. It will be harder to apply MAGEEC to
other domains at the moment, as training the system requires a large
number of representative training programs appropriate for the target
domain. For the original project BEEBS was used, but the programs in
this suite are all small embedded programs, so they will not be much use
if optimizing for a desktop program.

For the TSERO project, we will be sourcing a new set of training
programs, which should be more suitable to desktop and HPC applications.
We also aim to make the framework easier to use, and more applicable to
compilers other than just GCC and LLVM.

Feel free to e-mail me with any questions you have, or I'd be happy to
meet up to discuss things.

Thank you,
Edward Jones
