Abstract: Massively parallel SoCs have emerged as efficient solutions to meet the ever-increasing performance goals of HPC applications. REDEFINE is one such scalable MPSoC architecture that offers the flexibility of combining several coarse compute and memory units, to suit the requirements of application kernels. It realizes a distributed runtime in hardware that executes task interaction graphs of applications in a dynamic macro dataflow manner. We present a compilation framework that automatically exposes parallelism of various granularities (TLP, DLP, ILP) in applications targeting REDEFINE. Additionally, it manages the runtime via specialized instructions and manages memory explicitly. The major contributions of this work include an automatic parallelizing frontend for sequential programming languages such as C99, design of a parallel intermediate representation extending the LLVM IR, efficient task and memory management schemes and support for heterogeneity in target hardware platform.
