Modulo Scheduling II: A Technique for Parallelizing Loops with Cyclic Dependencies - Prof., Study notes of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Modulo scheduling ii, a technique used to parallelize loops with cyclic dependencies in computer systems. The modulo scheduling process, priority function, scheduling window, loop prolog and epilog, and architectural support. It also includes examples and steps to calculate ii, priorities, and execute the code. Useful for students studying computer architecture, parallel computing, or digital design.

Modulo Scheduling Process^ Y^ Use list scheduling but we need a few twists^ »^ II is predetermined – starts at MII, then is incremented^ »^ Cyclic dependences complicate matters^ y^ Estart/Priority/etc.^ y^ Consumer scheduled before producer is considered

X^ There is a window where something can be scheduled! » Guarantee the repeating pattern Y 2 constraints enforced on the schedule » Each iteration begin exactly II cycles after the previous one » Each time an operation is scheduled in 1 iteration, it is tentativelyscheduled in subsequent iterations at intervals of II y MRT used for this

Calculating Height 1.^ Insert pseudo edges from all nodes to branch with^ latency = 0, distance = 0 (dotted edges) 2.^ Compute II, For this example assume II = 2 3.^ HeightR(4) = 4.^ HeightR(3) = 5.^ HeightR(2) = 6.^ HeightR(1)

The Scheduling Window With cyclic scheduling, not all the predecessors may be scheduled, so a more flexible earliest schedule time

is: 0, if X is not scheduled E(Y) =^ MAX

MAX (0, SchedTime(X) + EffDelay(X,Y)),

otherwise

for all X = pred(Y) where EffDelay(X,Y) = Delay(X,Y) – II*Distance(X,Y) Every II cycles a new loop iteration will be initialized, thus every II cycles the pattern will repeat. Thus, you only have to look in a window of size II, if the operation cannot be scheduled there, then it cannot be scheduled.^ Latest schedule time(Y) = L(Y) = E(Y) + II – 1

A B C D Loop body with 4 ops Generate special code before the loop (preheader) to fill the pipe and special code after the loop to drain the pipe. Peel off II-1 iterations for the prolog. Complete II-1 iterations in epilog

Removing Prolog/Epilog^ Disable usingpredicated execution

II = 3

Prolog

Kernel^ Epilog

Execute loop kernel on every iteration, but for prolog and epilog selectively disable the appropriate operations to fill/drain the pipeline

Modulo Scheduling Architectural Support^ Y^ Loop requiring N iterations^ »^ Will take N + (S – 1) where S is the number of stages^ Y^ 2 special registers created^ »^ LC: loop counter (holds N)^ »^ ESC: epilog stage counter (holds S)^ Y^ Software pipeline branch operations^ »^ Initialize LC = N, ESC = S in loop preheader^ »^ All rotating predicates are cleared^ »^ BRF.B.B.F^ y^ While LC > 0, decrement LC and RRB, P[0] = 1, branch to top ofloop

X^ This occurs for prolog and kernel y If LC = 0, then while ESC > 0, decrement RRB and write a 0 intoP[0], and branch to the top of the loop X^ This occurs for the epilog
