COMPILING DEVICE, COMPILING METHOD, AND COMPILING PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18265300 titled 'COMPILING DEVICE, COMPILING METHOD, AND COMPILING PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a compiling device, method, and program that can increase the speed of a program by optimizing loops that include access to adjacent data.
- Loop analysis unit determines if vectorization of a loop in a program is possible when there is access to adjacent data.
- Vectorization execution unit generates instructions to read elements required for computation from memory to a vector register when vectorization of the loop is possible.

Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are a compiling device, a compiling method, and a compiling program with which the speed of a program can be increased when a loop in a program includes an access to adjacent data. The compiling device includes: a loop analysis unit for determining whether vectorization of a loop in a source program is possible when an access to adjacent data is included in the loop; and a vectorization execution unit for generating an instruction for reading elements required for computation from a memory to a vector register when access to the adjacent data is included and the vectorization of the loop is possible.
