A HYBRID EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM FOR GRAPH COLORING REGISTER ALLOCATION

Abstract:
Memory or registers are used to store the results
of computation of a program. As compared to memory, accessing a register is much
faster, but they are scarce resources and have to be utilized very efficiently.
If the register set is not sufficient to hold all program variables, certain
values have to be stored in memory and so-called spill
code has to be inserted. The optimization goal is to hold as many live variables
as possible in registers in order to avoid expensive memory accesses. We present
a new hybrid evolutionary algorithm (HEA) for graph coloring register allocation
problem for embedded systems. We have used MachineSUIF [17] compiler research
framework for implementing our algorithm. |
