MILEPOST GCC is now a part of the cTuning Compiler Collection (cTuning CC).


MILEPOST GCC is the first practical attept to build machine learning enabled open-source self-tuning production (and research) compiler that can adapt to any architecture using iterative feedback-directed compilation, machine learning and collective optimization. It is based on production quality GCC that supports more than 30 families of architectures and can compile real, large applications including Linux, and on Interactive Compilation Interface that provides plugin system to access internals of compilers. MILEPOST GCC attempts to correlate program features and program optimizations during empirical iterative compilation to predict good optimizations for unseen programs based on prior learning. MILEPOST and cTuning infrastructure automates code and architecture optimization to improve execution time, code size, compilation time and other characteristics at the same time. This technology is not GCC-dependent and can be used in any compiler using common Interactive Compilation Interface and compiler independent plugins. The first version of the MILEPOST GCC and MILEPOST framework has been created during the MILEPOST project. All public MILEPOST developments have been coordinated by Grigori Fursin. More information can be found in the following paper about MILEPOST GCC.

  • FAQs - Does MILEPOST GCC solve all optimization problems? How similar is it ACOVEA tool? etc...


News
  • 2010.June.9 - Finally, we recovered all cTuning website and services after physical hard drive failure. However, if you still experience some problems or abnormal behavior, please report that to the cTuning discussions mailing list! Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience!
  • 2010.May.22 - Pre-release of cTuning CC V2.5 is now available. cTuning CC is a free, open source compiler collection that combines multiple tools and techniques including MILEPOST GCC, ICI, CCC framework, cTuning web-services and Collective Optimization Database and cBench as the first practical step toward self-tuning, adaptive computing systems based on industrial tools, empirical techniques, transparent collective optimization, statistical analysis and machine learning.
  • 2010.April.28 - List of all projects accepted for Google Summer of Code 2010 is now available on-line. There are many projects related to GCC, LLVM, MONO, etc.
    Discussion page about GCC as a research compiler has been updated.
    Diego Novillo started a proposal to modularize GCC.
  • 2010.April.14 - Long awaited GCC 4.5 has been released! It features new plugin framework with some parts of ICI to continue GCC modularization and parametrization, simplify pass manipulation and reordering, and enable better integration with cTuning/MILEPOST tools to automate optimization space exploration and prediction of profitable combinations of program transformations during multi-objective optimizations (balancing execution time, code size, compilation time, etc) for a given program/dataset/architecture.
  • 2010.March.17 - We pre-released all tools including MILEPOST GCC, CCC framework, cBench and cDatabase. It's a major update of cTuning tools including support of transparent optimizations of programs and libraries, better multi-objective optimization (including balancing of execution time, code size and compilation time), bug fixes in averaging multiple optimization cases, C++ support in MILEPOST GCC, support of all version of GCC 4.4, new static features in MILEPOST GCC, extended documentation, etc. Feedback and comments are welcome here.
  • 2010.March.01 - CGO'10 program is available on-line.
  • 2010.February.22 - MILEPOST 1.5 GCC 4.4.0 pre-release is now available.
  • 2010.February.18 - We are in the process of updating this website as well as MILEPOST GCC, CCC framework, web-services.).
