DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention discloses a system and associated method for source-code level profiling of a class of executable library codes. The method utilizes a stub for a library call that has to be profiled. The stub contains enough information to exactly simulate all memory operations that the library call performs on all the arguments that are either passed to the stub as parameters or are accessible to the stub such as global variables. The stub-based library-code profiling method of the present invention cost-effectively enables pipeline parallelization of sequential source codes that invokes the executable library codes.
FIG. 1 illustrates a system 10 for pipeline parallelization of loops in sequential code 11, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
The system 10 comprises a source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 and a parallelization advice generator 30. The source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 receives input of sequential code 11. The source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 identifies and annotates nested loops in the sequential code 11 for dynamic profiling, passes the annotated sequential code 13 to the parallelization advice generator 30. The parallelization advice generator 30 dynamically profiles the annotated sequential code 13, and generates a parallelization advice 15 for each annotated loop. Dynamic profiling tracks runtime behavior of memory locations that are read from or written to during execution of the annotated sequential code 13. The parallelization advice generator 30 maps memory locations back to corresponding variables in the annotated sequential code 13 to generate the parallelization advice 15. The source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 receives the parallelization advice 15 from the parallelization advice generator 30. Subsequently the source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 produces output of parallel code 19 by refactoring the loops in the sequential code 11 based on the received parallelization advice 15. Details of dynamic profiling and task dependency analysis features of the parallelization advice generator 30 and source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 are not covered in this specification.
The sequential code 11 is a typical computer program code that invokes library calls. For purpose of dependency analysis of the sequential code 11, library calls for which source code is not available also need to be profiled. Conventional computer program products only provide executable libraries with library call signatures without source code of the libraries, thus do not enable dependency analysis of libraries for loop parallelization.
A library call accepts variables, which may be values or references, as its arguments. Memory operations on these variables may be classified as a Must Read/Write (R/W) Operation or a May Read/Write Operation. One instance of the Must R/W operation is statically known that all the memory locations pointed to by the arguments will be read/written during the execution of the library call such as standard C library calls of bzero( ), memset( ) etc. The Must R/W operation enables exact simulation of the library call. One instance of the May R/W operation may not be known statically whether a location is assured of being read or written during the call due to complex control flow. The May R/W operation does not enable exact simulation but require approximation.
The sequential code 11 input to the source code annotator/refactoring engine 20 comprises at least one library call in machine-executable form. For correct automatic parallelization of the sequential code 11, said at least one library call for which source code is not available, also needs to be profiled.
The parallelization advice generator 30 comprises a stub creator 41 and a stubbed library database (SLDB) 45. For each library call occurring in the sequential code 11, either a corresponding library method stub is selected from the SLDB 45 if one exists, or a new stub is created by the stub creator 41 by use of idiom-stub mappings 43 if the corresponding library method stub does not exist in the SLDB. The parallelization advice generator 30 dynamically profiles a library method stub instead of the machine-executable library call to achieve accurate profiling results. In this specification, the term “library method stub” is defined as a piece of program code that simulates read/write behaviors of in-scope variables appearing in the original library call and that has no side-effects on the operations inside/outside the original library call. Although there are numerous ways in which combinations reads and writes can be performed and to implement stubs corresponding to respective combinations of memory operations, only a limited number of read-write patterns are practically common. In this specification, the term “idiom” is defined to indicate such limited number of practical read-write pattern. An idiom abstracts a must read and/or must write operation on a variable, The idiom-stub mappings 43 store predefined stub code for these most commonly found idioms. In one embodiment of the idiom-stub mappings 43 shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B infra, the idiom-stub mappings 43 implement all standard C/C++ program library calls set forth in <stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>, and <unistd.h>, such that a library method stub corresponding to each standard library call is used in place of said each standard library call for the purpose of dynamic profiling.
Examples of conventional program analysis approach for characterizing a program with its types and side effects may be effect systems. In conventional effect systems, functional programs are typically extended with a few referentially-opaque operators are analyzed. In store effects analysis, the initialization, read and write of locations in store are characterized. Algorithms for statically inferencing type and effects of expressions in a program are provided. Store effects are identified vis-a-vis static program regions discerned for them by the static analysis. A region is a set of locations that may be aliases of each other. Example applications of store analysis towards program parallelization (safe scheduling of side-effects) and stack allocation are shown.
The embodiments of the present invention is distinctive from above mentioned conventional program analysis approach in applying an effects characterization (store effects) to program libraries whose code is not available for profile-based analysis. This allows whole program analysers to become capable of handling such absent code. Effects are human specified by effect signatures (called idioms) that accurately specify the exact effects carried out on procedure arguments and free variables (abstracting away local state). The effects are specified symbolically, distinctly from type signatures. Such specification identifies effects with location-by-location precision, as opposed to clubbed effects at large region levels. Using standard type signatures and the effect specifications, stub code for binary library functions is generated for profile-based analysis. The embodiments of the present invention handle the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) 9899:1999 C programming language standard set forth by Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1) of the ISO/IEC, which requires complex pointer support including pointer arithmetic and function pointers but not higher-order functions. The embodiments of the present invention are utilized for pipeline parallelization of programs.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart depicting a method for creating a library method stub corresponding to an original library call, as performed by the stub creator of FIG. 1 supra, in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention.
In step 410, the stub creator receives library call/method signature and idiom sentences as input. In one embodiment of the present invention, the idiom sentences are expressed by use of sentence definition presented in FIGS. 3A and 3B infra. Then the stub creator proceeds with step 420.
In step 420, the stub creator creates a library method stub for the received library method signature with empty body according to stub naming convention, which add prefix “_stub_” to an original name of the library call, as shown in FIG. 4 infra. Then the stub creator proceeds with step 430.
Steps 430 and 440 are performed as a unit for each idiom sentence in the input received in step 410. Upon processing all idiom sentences in the input, the stub creator proceeds with step 450.
In step 430, the stub creator matches the idiom sentence with idiom-stub mappings stored in the stub creator. Then the stub creator proceeds with step 440.
In step 440, the stub creator expands idiom in the library method stub created in step 420 supra as defined in the idiom-stub mappings pursuant to the match found in step 430 supra. Then the stub creator loops back to step 430 for a next idiom sentence in the input.
In step 450, the stub creator includes a call to invoke the original library call in the library method stub. Then the stub creator proceeds with step 460.
In step 460, the stub creator stores the library method stub resulting from step 450 in the stubbed library database (SLDB) such that the library method stub is utilized by the parallelization advice generator in generating the parallelization advice. Then the stub creator terminates processing the input from step 410.
FIG. 3A is an exemplary listing of a set of idiom stub mappings for standard library calls utilized by the stub creator, in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention.
In this specification, terms “library call”, “library method”, “standard library calls”, and “standard library methods” are used interchangeably to represent standardized method of programming language. A library call accepts variables as arguments. A variable may indicate a scalar value or a reference to a memory location. Memory operations on these variables are selected from {W, R}, wherein W is a must-write operation that statically writes all memory locations pointed to the arguments while performing the library call, and wherein R is a must-read operation that statically reads all memory locations pointed to the arguments while performing the library call. Examples of W memory operation may be, inter alia, bzero( ), memset( ) of standard C library calls.
In this specification, the term “idiom” is defined as an abstraction of a memory operation on a variable, wherein the memory operations is either “read” or “write”. An idiom is represented by elements comprising W, R, size, pos, and argno, wherein W denotes a must write operation on a variable, wherein R denotes a must read operation on a variable, wherein size denotes the number of memory locations that are applicable for memory operations selected from {W, R}, size being represented in either a scalar value or a mathematical function of integer arguments, wherein pos denotes a location offset from where the memory location of the variable are read and/or written by the library call, and wherein argno denotes position of the argument in the library call signature for which the idiom applies. For example, a first idiom stating “size number of locations, starting at offset pos, are read for an argument of type T* occurring at position 1 in the list of method call arguments”, where T is any standard or user defined data type, is represented as, “R void* size pos 1”.
A sentence S for idioms is defined as:
S::=S1|S2|S1 ‘\n’ S2|c? S1:S2
S1::=l1|l2|l3|l4|l5|l6
S2::=l1|l2|l3|l4|l5|l6
c::=a Boolean expression on arguments
l1::=W void* size pos argno
l2::=R void* size pos argno
l3::=RW FILE* argno
l4::=R Scalar argno
l5::=W Scalar argno
l6::=RW int* argno,
wherein literals l1, l2 . . . l6 denote basic idioms of the sentence S, wherein ‘\n’ is a line feed character, and wherein “c? S1:S2” represents a conditional statement of “if c then S1 else S2”, wherein c is determined to be a truth value selected from {True, False}. The sentence S provides rules for composition of literals to produce a complex idiom.
According to idiom definition supra, lines L101 through L108 represent a stub code mapping for the first literal l1 in the sequential code, lines L109 through L117 represent a stub code mapping for the second literal l2 in the sequential code, lines L119 through L122 represent a stub code mapping for the third literal l3 in the sequential code, lines L123 through L125 represent a null stub code mapping for the fourth and fifth literal l4 and l5 in the sequential code, and lines L126 through L129 represent a stub code mapping for the sixth literal l6 in the sequential code, respectively.
FIG. 3B is an exemplary listing of a set of idiom-stub mappings for linked data structures, utilized by the stub creator, in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention.
In the same embodiment as in FIG. 3A supra implemented for C programming language, types can be represented using the following simplified syntax that processes away typedefs, type qualifiers, storage class specifiers, signed/unsigned specifiers, and separates the types syntax from C expressions syntax:












type ::= typename | array of [ [n | * ] ] type | pointer to type |


 function of ([ type,]* type [, ...] ) returning type |


 void | arithmetic-type |


 ( struct | union ) [id] { (type ( id | [id ] : c))+ }


typedef ::= typename = type









wherein [ . . . ] encloses an optional entity, ( . . . ) groups its contents, * represents Kleene closure e.g. [ . . . ]*, and | separates alternatives. Type qualifiers and specifiers such as signed, const, volatile do not affect the size, alignment, or layout of types, whose access is the subject of analysis of our present work. Arithmetic-types are the range of integer/float/char types that can be defined in C, with the _complex type getting treated as an array of two float types. Similarly, enumeration types are treated as scalar arithmetic types from a layout perspective.

The stub creator treats each type as a named type for simplicity, with a left term of each type definition being a name and a right term declaring the type, possibly recursively. The type name is interesting only for recursive definitions making up a variety of linked data structures.
In this embodiment, the stub creator attempts to specify read and write regions of each data structure argument using idioms such as, inter alia, R argno all; W argno>depth n; R argno<depth m; W argno>depth n<depth m, where n<m, etc. For a linked list argument, these idioms read respectively as the entire linked list is a read region; the linked list after the first n elements is a write region; the linked list before the m-th element is a read region; and the linked list between the n-th and m-th elements is a write region. Specifications n, m is selected from a constant, or another argument of the stub function. Based on the type specification of each argument type available presented supra, and on idioms of FIG. 3B, the stub creator generates respective sequential function accessing the specified memory. FIG. 3B shows exemplary code generated for various list idioms, for an argument a1 of type T* where, T=struct {int a2; T*a3;}.
According to idiom definition supra, lines L130 through L133 represent a stub code mapping for a first idiom Idiom1 in the sequential code, lines L134 through L140 represent a stub code mapping for the second idiom Idiom2 in the sequential code, lines L141 through L146 represent a stub code mapping for the third idiom Idiom3 in the sequential code, and lines L147 through L154 represent a stub code mapping for the fourth idiom Idiom4 in the sequential code, respectively. FIG. 3B represents one embodiment of list traversal algorithms. For graphs more complicated than lists such as binary trees, stub generation is similarly a type-driven graph traversal exercise, accessing the memory regions specified by the idioms. Such traversal and access can be carried out analogous to the list cases shown in FIG. 3B.
FIG. 4 is an exemplary listing of the standard library call fread( ) and its corresponding library method stub_stub_fread( ) resulting from performing the stub creator, in accordance with the embodiments of the present invention.
Line L202 is a method signature for the standard C library call fread( ). Lines L203 through L206 are input idiom sentences to the stub creator for the standard C library call fread( ).
Lines L301 through L311 are a library method stub_stub_fread( ) corresponding to the standard C library call fread( ) of lines L201 through L206, as generated by the stub creator, as resulting after performing the method of FIG. 2 supra.

S1:S2” represents a conditional statement of “if c then S1 else S2”, wherein c results in a Boolean truth value selected from {True, False}, wherein a first literal l1 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “W void* size pos argno”, wherein a second literal l2 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “R void* size pos argno”, wherein a third literal l3 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “RW FILE* argno”, wherein a fourth literal l4 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “R Scalar argno”, wherein a fifth literal l5 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “W Scalar argno”, wherein a sixth literal l6 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “RW int* argno”.

12. A computer system comprising a processor, a memory coupled to the processor, and a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, said storage device not being a transitory signal, said storage device containing program code configured to be executed by the processor via the memory to implement a method for creating a library method stub in source code form corresponding to an original library call in machine-executable form, said method comprising:
said processor creating the library method stub in a predefined programming language by use of a library method signature associated with the original library call, at least one idiom sentence, and a call invoking the original library call, wherein said creating the library method stub comprises composing source code of the library method stub by matching the at least one idiom sentence with idiom-stub mappings predefined for each basic idiom of at least one basic idiom, wherein the original library call appears in sequential code, wherein the library method signature specifies formal arguments of the original library call, wherein the at least one idiom sentence summarizes memory operations performed by the original library call on the formal arguments, and wherein a sentence S of the at least one basic idiom provides at least one rule for generating a composition of literals to generate a complex idiom; and
said processor storing the created library method stub in a database.

13. The computer system of claim 12, said method further comprising:
said processor annotating the sequential code for parallelization resulting in creating the library method signature and the at least one idiom sentence.

14. The computer system of claim 12, said method further comprising:
said processor modifying the sequential code by replacing the original library call in the sequential code with a respective call for the library method stub such that the modified sequential code is utilized in profiling the sequential code for data dependency analysis to enable pipeline-parallelization of the sequential code.

15. The computer system of claim 12, said creating comprising:
said processor concluding the source code with the call invoking the original library call.

16. The computer system of claim 12, wherein the sentence S of the at least one basic idiom is selected from a group consisting of {S1, S1 ‘\n’ S2, c? S1:S2}, wherein S1 is a first instance of S, wherein S2 is a second instance of S, wherein both S1 and S2 is selected from a group consisting of {l1, l2, l3, l4, l5, l6}, wherein ‘\n’ is a line feed character, wherein “c? S1:S2” represents a conditional statement of “if c then S1 else S2”, wherein c results in a Boolean truth value selected from {True, False}, wherein a first literal l1 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “W void* size pos argno”, wherein a second literal l2 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “R void* size pos argno”, wherein a third literal l3 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “RW FILE* argno”, wherein a fourth literal l4 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “R Scalar argno”, wherein a fifth literal l5 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “W Scalar argno”, wherein a sixth literal l6 of the at least one basic idiom is defined as “RW int* argno”.
