Some Polly ACC test cases fail without a working NVPTX backend. We explicitly
specify this dependence in REQUIRES. Alternatively, we could have only marked
polly-acc as supported in case the NVPTX backend is available, but as we might
use other backends in the future, this does not seem to be the best choice.
For this to work, we also need to make the 'targets_to_build' information
available.

Offloading to a GPU is only beneficial if there is a sufficient amount of
compute that can be accelerated. Many kernels just have a very small number
of dynamic compute, which means GPU acceleration is not beneficial. We
compute at run-time an approximation of how many dynamic instructions will be
executed and fall back to CPU code in case this number is not sufficiently
large. To keep the run-time checking code simple, we over-approximate the
number of instructions executed in each statement by computing the volume of
the rectangular hull of its iteration space.

This increases the readability of the IR and also clarifies that the GPU
inititialization is executed _after_ the scalar initialization which needs
to before the code of the transformed scop is executed.
Besides increased readability, the IR should not change. Specifically, I
do not expect any changes in program semantics due to this patch.
llvm-svn: 278125
Otherwise, we would try to re-optimize them with Polly-ACC and possibly even
generate kernels that try to offload themselves, which does not work as the
GPURuntime is not available on the accelerator and also does not make any
sense.

Also factor out getArraySize() to avoid code dupliciation and reorder some
function arguments to indicate the direction into which data is transferred.
llvm-svn: 276636
At the beginning of each SCoP, we allocate device arrays for all arrays
used on the GPU and we free such arrays after the SCoP has been executed.
llvm-svn: 276635
There is no need to expose the selected device at the moment. We also pass back
pointers as return values, as this simplifies the interface.

Run the NVPTX backend over the GPUModule IR and write the resulting assembly
code in a string.
To work correctly, it is important to invalidate analysis results that still
reference the IR in the kernel module. Hence, this change clears all references
to dominators, loop info, and scalar evolution.
Finally, the NVPTX backend has troubles to generate code for various special
floating point types (not surprising), but also for uncommon integer types. This
commit does not resolve these issues, but pulls out problematic test cases into
separate files to XFAIL them individually and resolve them in future (not
immediate) changes one by one.

This change introduces the actual compute code in the GPU kernels. To ensure
all values referenced from the statements in the GPU kernel are indeed available
we scan all ScopStmts in the GPU kernel for references to llvm::Values that
are not yet covered by already modeled outer loop iterators, parameters, or
array base pointers and also pass these additional llvm::Values to the
GPU kernel.
For arrays used in the GPU kernel we introduce a new ScopArrayInfo object, which
is referenced by the newly generated access functions within the GPU kernel and
which is used to help with code generation.
llvm-svn: 276270
Initialize the list of references to a GPU array to ensure that the arrays that
need to be passed to kernel calls are computed correctly. Furthermore, the very
same information is also necessary to compute synchronization correctly. As the
functionality to compute these references is already available, what is left for
us to do is only to connect the necessary functionality to compute array
reference information.

Create LLVM-IR for all host-side control flow of a given GPU AST. We implement
this by introducing a new GPUNodeBuilder class derived from IslNodeBuilder. The
IslNodeBuilder will take care of generating all general-purpose ast nodes, but
we provide our own createUser implementation to handle the different GPU
specific user statements. For now, we just skip any user statement and only
generate a host-code sceleton, but in subsequent commits we will add handling of
normal ScopStmt's performing computations, kernel calls, as well as host-device
data transfers. We will also introduce run-time check generation and LICM in
subsequent commits.

A sequence of CHECK lines allows additional statements to appear in the
output of the tested program without any test failures appearing. As we do
not want this to happen, switch this test case to use CHECK-NEXT.
llvm-svn: 275534
For this we need to provide an explicit list of statements as they occur in
the polly::Scop to ppcg.
We also setup basic AST printing facilities to facilitate debugging. To allow
code reuse some (minor) changes in ppcg are have been necessary.
llvm-svn: 275436
The tile size was previously uninitialized. As a result, it was often zero (aka.
no tiling), which is not what we want in general. More importantly, there was
the risk for arbitrary tile sizes to be choosen, which we did not observe, but
which still is highly problematic.
llvm-svn: 275418
This change now applies ppcg's GPU mapping on our initial schedule. For this
to work, we need to also initialize the set of all names (isl_ids) used in
the scop as well as the program context.
llvm-svn: 275396
To do so we copy the necessary information to compute an initial schedule from
polly::Scop to ppcg's scop. Most of the necessary information is directly
available and only needs to be passed on to ppcg, with the exception of 'tagged'
access relations, access relations that additionally carry information about
which memory access an access relation originates from.
We could possibly perform the construction of tagged accesses as part of
ScopInfo, but as this format is currently specific to ppcg we do not do this
yet, but keep this functionality local to our GPU code generation.
After the scop has been initialized, we compute data dependences and ask ppcg to
compute an initial schedule. Some of this functionality is already available in
polly::DependenceInfo and polly::ScheduleOptimizer, but to keep differences
to ppcg small we use ppcg's functionality here. We may later investiage if
a closer integration of these tools makes sense.
llvm-svn: 275390
At this stage, we do not yet modify the IR but just generate a default
initialized ppcg_scop and gpu_prog and free both immediately. Both will later be
filled with data from the polly::Scop and are needed to use PPCG for GPU
schedule generation. This commit does not yet perform any GPU code generation,
but ensures that the basic infrastructure has been put in place.
We also add a simple test case to ensure the new code is run and use this
opportunity to verify that GPU_CODEGEN tests are only run if GPU code generation
has been enabled in cmake.
