DescriptionMulti-architecture machines make program characterization for modeling a regression outcome difficult. Determining where to offload compute-dense portions requires accurate prediction models for multiple architectures. To productively achieve portable performance across these diverse architectures, users are adopting portable programming models such as OpenMP and RAJA.
When adopted, portable models make traditional high-level source code analysis inadequate for program characterization. In this poster, we introduce a common microarchitecture instruction format (ComIL) for program characterization. ComIL is capable of representing programs in an architecture-aware compiler-agnostic manner. We evaluate feature extraction with ComIL by constructing multiple regression-objective models for performance (execution time) and correctness (maximum absolute error). These models perform better than the current state of the art -- achieving a mean error rate of only 4.7% when predicting execution time. We plan to extend this work to handle multiple architectures concurrently and evaluate with more representative physics kernels.
