MOVIE

Code generation


The features of the MOVIE architecture lead us to consider the programming aspect from the very beginning of the architecture design process. This ensures that the architectural mechanisms are fully exploitable by a compiler and that they are not an obstacle to the generation of an efficient code. The programming environment design is carried out simultaneously with the definition of the architecture, especially as regards the code optimization aspects.

The C-stolic language designed to efficiently program parallel architectures that support systolic communications is the programming language of MOVIE.

The compiler system, currently under development, is composed of four major modules and is mainly based on existing tools.

The study around the use of the OCO tool is realized in cooperation with the Caps group.
