This page covers some research questions that would be interesting to explore, once we have an initial framework to play with

Dynamic Features

  • Can we better predict which optimizations to use if we take dynamic features of the application?
  • What kinds of dynamic features can we capture?
  • GCC/LLVM both have profile guided optimization, can we use this file for the dynamic features?
  • Can hardware counters be used?

Non-binary Parameters

  • Some optimizations have parameters which aren't on or off. Can be learn good values for these parameters?

Interactivity

  • What is the effect of applying N learnt optimizations, and then retaking the features?
