Research questions
From MAGEEC
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?
