DCC

DPN C Compiler

Keywords: Polyhedral compilation - Automatic parallelization - High-level synthesis

Functional Description

Dcc (Data-aware process network C compiler) analyzes a sequential regular program written in C and generates an equivalent architecture of parallel computer as a communicating process network (Data-aware Process Network, DPN). Internal communications (channels) and external communications (external memory) are automatically handled while fitting optimally the characteristics of the global memory (latency and throughput). The parallelism can be tuned. Dcc has been registered at the APP (“Agence de protection des programmes”) and transferred to the XtremLogic start-up under an Inria license.
