Spectrum Analyzer: VPO/VISTA Optimization Exercise
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
This module introduces the interactive optimizing compiler combination VPO/VISTA. VPO (Very Portable Optimizer) is a retargetable compiler developed at the University of Virginia. VISTA (VPO Interactive System for Tuning Applications), developed at Florida State University, is a GUI that allows a user to interactively select optimization steps with VPO feedback. Instructions are given on how to apply VPO/VISTA optimization to three routines provided in the power spectral density (PSD) estimator of the previous lab. Students are then asked to optimize these routines twice: once using VISTA and once using any method desired.
