The Jrpm system for dynamically parallelizing sequential Java programs
Chen, Michael Kerby.

The Jrpm system for dynamically parallelizing sequential Java programs [electronic resource] - 196 p.

Adviser: Kunle Olukotun.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2004.

As the limits of instruction-level parallelism (1--10s of instructions) with a single thread of control are approached, we must look elsewhere for architectural improvements that can speedup program execution. Coarser grained parallelism, like fine-grained thread-level parallelism (10s--1,000s of instructions), is a potential area for exploration. This type of parallelism is not exploited today due to limitations of current multiprocessor architectures and automatic parallelizing compilers.

520 # $a As the limits of instruction-level parallelism (1--10s of instructions) with a single thread of control are approached, we must look elsewhere for architectural improvements that can speedup program execution. Coarser grained parallelism, like fine-grained thread-level parallelism (10s--1,000s of instructions), is a potential area for exploration. This type of parallelism is not exploited today due to limitations of current multiprocessor architectures and automatic parallelizing compilers.
520 # $a Experimental results demonstrate that Jrpm can exploit thread-level parallelism with minimal effort from the programmer. On four processors, I achieve speedups of 3 to 4 for floating point applications, 2 to 3 on multimedia applications, and between 1.5 and 2.5 on integer applications. Performance resulted from automatic selection of thread decompositions by the hardware profiler, intra-procedural optimizations on code compiled dynamically into speculative threads, and some minor programmer transformations for exposing parallelism that cannot be performed automatically.
520 # $a This dissertation describes the Java runtime parallelizing machine (Jrpm), a complete system for parallelizing sequential programs automatically. Jrpm is based on a CMP (chip multiprocessor) with TLS (thread-level speculation) support. CMPs, systems with tightly coupled processor cores implemented together on a single die, have low sharing and communication costs relative to traditional multiprocessors. TLS simplifies program parallelization by allowing one to parallelize optimistically without violating correct sequential program behavior. Using a Java virtual machine with dynamic compilation support coupled with a hardware profiler, both speculative buffer requirements and inter-thread dependencies of prospective STLs (speculative thread loops) are analyzed in real-time to identify the best loops to parallelize. Once sufficient data has been collected to make a reasonable decision, selected loops are recompiled dynamically to run in parallel.
