T-LLM Compiler: Trusted LLM-based Code Optimization and Verification Framework

Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have opened opportunities to apply high-level code transformations to the field of code optimization, and it has since emerged as one of the most fundamental tasks for LLMs to perform; however, at present, LLMs struggle to apply wide-ranging code optimization tasks due to both the complexity of the code and the inability to independently verify the correctness of the transformations. In this paper, we present the Trusted LLM (T-LLM) Compiler, which proposes an advancement in compiler technology through a collaborative effort involving high-level LLM code transformations, traditional compilers, and verification tools. Experimental results reveal that it can significantly improve code correctness when tested on a set of PolyBench/C benchmarks. Our approach facilitates iterative code optimization efforts with verification strategies that enable corrective actions. Through this approach, T-LLM Compiler achieves code optimization accuracy of up to 83.3% and a speedup of up to 16.1\% on the PolyBench/C benchmarks, with the transformed code reaching an average of 26.7% speedup wrt standard baselines. Additionally, we release the project's source code to the open-source community.

Protean Compiler: An Agile Framework to Drive Fine-grain Phase Ordering

The phase ordering problem has been a long-standing challenge since the late 1970s, yet it remains an open problem due to having a vast optimization space and an unbounded nature, making it an open-ended problem without a finite solution, one can limit the scope by reducing the number and the length of optimizations. Traditionally, such locally optimized decisions are made by hand-coded algorithms tuned for a small number of benchmarks, often requiring significant effort to be retuned when the benchmark suite changes. In the past 20 years, Machine Learning has been employed to construct performance models to improve the selection and ordering of compiler optimizations, however, the approaches are not baked into the compiler seamlessly and never materialized to be leveraged at a fine-grained scope of code segments. This paper presents Protean Compiler: An agile framework to enable LLVM with built-in phase-ordering capabilities at a fine-grained scope. The framework also comprises a complete library of more than 140 handcrafted static feature collection methods at varying scopes, and the experimental results showcase speedup gains of up to 4.1% on average and up to 15.7% on select Cbench applications wrt LLVM's O3 by just incurring a few extra seconds of build time on Cbench. Additionally, Protean compiler allows for an easy integration with third-party ML frameworks and other Large Language Models, and two applications of this two-step optimization show a gain of 10.1\% and 8.5\% speedup w.r.t. -O3 on CBench's Susan and Jpeg applications. Protean compiler is seamlessly integrated into LLVM and can be used as a new, enhanced, full-fledged compiler. We plan to release the project to the open-source community in the near future.

ACPO: AI-Enabled Compiler Framework

The key to performance optimization of a program is to decide correctly when a certain transformation should be applied by a compiler. This is an ideal opportunity to apply machine-learning models to speed up the tuning process; while this realization has been around since the late 90s, only recent advancements in ML enabled a practical application of ML to compilers as an end-to-end framework. This paper presents ACPO: An AI-Enabled Compiler Framework, a novel framework that provides LLVM with simple and comprehensive tools to benefit from employing ML models for different optimization passes. We first showcase the high-level view, class hierarchy, and functionalities of ACPO and subsequently, demonstrate \taco{a couple of use cases of ACPO by ML-enabling the Loop Unroll and Function Inlining passes used in LLVM's O3. and finally, describe how ACPO can be leveraged to optimize other passes. Experimental results reveal that the ACPO model for Loop Unroll can gain on average 4%, 3%, 5.4%, and 0.2% compared to LLVM's vanilla O3 optimization when deployed on Polybench, Coral-2, CoreMark, and Graph-500, respectively. Furthermore, by including both Function Inlining and Loop Unroll models, ACPO can provide a combined speedup of 4.5% on Polybench and 2.4% on Cbench when compared with LLVM's O3, respectively.
