Technological survey reports on microprocessors.
SALTO is a transformation tool which helps developers build
applications which analyse, optimize or profile programs
at the assembly language level.
Today's microprocessor designers widely use microarchitecture
simulation at various levels to evaluate the performance
of their projects or make the best choice among several design
alternatives. Realistic micro-architecture simulations require
realistic inputs from a feeder (either a trace collection
tool or an emulator). Realistic inputs necessitates to capture
the user and the operating system activity of a realistic
target workload. The calvin2+DICE and LiKE toolset
enables microarchitecture simulations of long applications
by providing a very fast feeder able to skip billions of instructions
with a very limited overhead compared with the original application.
Also, this feeder may be able to catch the activity of the
operating system.
The Tool Set for Fortran project aims at developping
a new kind of tool to port codes to high performance computers
(in collaboration with Simulog).
Current approach for the development of numerical methods
is generally decomposed in two phases. First a prototype is
written using a high level tool (i.e. Matlab) for experimenting
the methods on small data sets. The second step consist in
rewritting the algorithm in Fortran so efficiency (sequentially
or in parallel) can be achieved and large data sets used.
In this project we propose a new approach where the second
step can be automatically derived (in collaboration with the
Aladin Team).
