Compiler phase ordering optimisation
This script eanbles the use of RL to tune the LLVM compiler phase order for code resize reduction or runtime optimisation.
To set the optimisation target, choose one of the target of the reward_function to select the approach to evaluate your code.
RewardFunctions=[
# "codesize", "ic" # For code size reduction
"runtime" # For run time
],Installation
The system was tested on the following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 18.04
Supersonic builds upon CompilerGym v0.2.3.
First, install CompilerGym required toolchain using:
sudo apt install -y clang-9 clang++-9 clang-format golang libjpeg-dev \
libtinfo5 m4 make patch zlib1g-dev tar bzip2 wget libgl1-mesa-glx
mkdir -pv ~/.local/bin
wget https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/releases/download/v1.7.5/bazelisk-linux-amd64 -O ~/.local/bin/bazel
wget https://github.com/hadolint/hadolint/releases/download/v1.19.0/hadolint-Linux-x86_64 -O ~/.local/bin/hadolint
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/bazel ~/.local/bin/hadolint
go get github.com/bazelbuild/buildtools/buildifier
GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/uber/prototool/cmd/prototool@dev
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++Then, we recommend using conda to manage the remaining build dependencies. First create a conda environment with the required dependencies:
(base) $ conda create -y -n supersonic python=3.8
(base) $ conda activate supersonic
(supersonic) $ conda install -y -c conda-forge cmake doxygen pandoc patchelf
(supersonic) $ cd SUPERSONIC
(supersonic) $ pip install -r requirements.txtClient RL search and testing usage
This demo shows how to apply the saved client RL to optimize a test program for Code Size Reduction.
(supersonic) $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`
