I am currently working on a SPARC instruction scheduler that works on
executable files. One of the advantages of working off an executable is
that the scheduler is independent of the compiler and the source code.
The scheduler is aware of the specific details of the chip set that the
executable will run on (i.e. cycle times, # of functional units). These
chip specific details can be easily changed to target a different chip
set.
Question: I am looking for references or other info on CDC's Afterburner or
similar projects. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
