Protean Compiler integrates ML for fine-grained LLVM optimization

Researchers have developed Protean Compiler, an agile framework designed to integrate fine-grained phase ordering capabilities directly into the LLVM compiler. This framework includes over 140 static feature collection methods and aims to address the long-standing challenge of optimizing compiler phases. Experiments show speedup gains of up to 4.1% on average and up to 15.7% on select applications compared to LLVM's O3 optimization level, with minimal additional build time. The system also allows for integration with third-party ML frameworks and LLMs, demonstrating further speedup improvements on specific applications. AI

    Protean Compiler: An Agile Framework to Drive Fine-grain Phase Ordering

    arXiv:2602.06142v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The phase ordering problem has been a long-standing challenge since the late 1970s, yet it remains an open problem due to having a vast optimization space and an unbounded nature, making it an open-ended problem without a …
