Continuous Collective Compilation Framework

Enabling collective optimization
News
  • 2009.June.01 - After nearly 1 year of developments we released/updated all our open-source collaborative R&D tools:
    • fully redesigned and documented Interactive Compilation Interface v2.0 for GCC 4.4.0 synchronized with the official plugin GCC branch - transforming compilers into plugin-enabled research toolsets
    • MILEPOST GCC 4.4.0 pre-release version at SVN - automating program optimization and compiler optimization heuristic tuning using machine learning
    • Continuous Collective Compilation Framework v2.0 - enabling automatic collaborative program optimization based on statistical and machine learning techniques
    • Collective Benchmark/MiDataSets v1.0 - enabling realistic program optimization research and benchmarking using multiple open-source programs/datasets.

      We also updated Collective Optimization Database with various optimization cases for Intel and AMD processors and comparison of different compilers including GCC, LLVM, Open64, Intel, etc - enabling sharing and reuse of optimization knowledge.

      We would like to thank cTuning community for feedback, help and support! You are welcome to join this community effort to automate program optimization and compiler/architecture design.
  • 2009.April.27 - We gave a talk at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign about Collective Tuning Initiative and tools and MILEPOST project ("Collective Optimization, run-time adaptation and machine learning"). Presentation is available here. We would like to thank all the UIUC colleagues for a very interesting and useful feedback.
  • 2009.April.21 - Several projects to enable automatic fine-grain program optimization and run-time adaptation in GCC using iterative compilation and machine learning (based on our cTuning/UNIDAPT/ICI/MILEPOST technology) have been accepted by the Google Summer of Code. You are welcome to join cTuning community and follow or participate in the developments using our dedicated mailing lists.
  • 2009.March.08 - CCC pre-release version has been uploaded to the SVN. We are currently documenting it.

Continuous Collective Compilation Framework (CCC) is a collaborative modular plugin-enabled R&D infrastructure to automate program and architecture optimizations (i.e. iteratively search for good program and architecture optimizations in a feedback-directed manner) and gather various static and dynamic optimization profile data in a Collective Optimization Database. It supports both global program optimization and fine-grain procedure, loop or instruction level optimizations if compiler supports Interactive Compilation Interface. It is used to help end-users optimize their programs, libraries and whole OS automatically (improve execution time/code size, etc), test and tune compiler optimization heuristic. It also enables collaborative R&D and optimization knowledge reuse with statistical and machine learning techniques (FMTP2008, FT2009).

CCC Framework is a community-driven project - you are welcome to join the project, extend it, provide smart search and data analysis plugins, leave feedback and add your optimization data to help the community. You can also communicate with cTuning community through our mailing lists.

You are welcome to join us and participate in CCC developments, discussions, provide feedback or suggestions to extend CCC or add new functionality. The framework currently supports multiple compilers including GCC, Open64, PathScale, Intel ICC, IBM XLC and a large number of server, desktop and embedded architectures.
