Code I have used in the paper "A Load Balancing Inspired Optimization Framework for Exascale Multicore Systems: A Complex Networks Approach"

Tutorials:

(TP_C.pl or TP_C++.pl are scripts to automate the whole profiling process. We highly suggest to use TP_C.pl due to C++ name mangling.) Documents contains LLVM installation guide and tool tutorials.

• LLVM 3.5.2 Installation Guide if you want to use LLVM-Tracer;
• LLVM 3.8.1 Installation Guide if you want to use Contech;

Further Modifications:

1. We removed the constraints of pipeline parallelism. Now, this framework can be applied to all high level C/C++ code.
2. We removed rdtsc functions since some were complaining about the overhead.

Special Thanks:

1. Contech tool. We built on this tool to profile applications. https://github.com/bprail/contech

2. Modularity based community detection. We used the following code in the original paper. https://www.cs.unm.edu/~aaron/research/fastmodularity.htm Later, we found out that this code performed better. https://sites.google.com/site/findcommunities/

Near-term Plans:

1. Make the code clean and add comments.

Future Plans

1. We are thinking to use this tool to generate traces. https://github.com/ysshao/LLVM-Tracer

2. Connect it with gem5 for ease of verification. https://github.com/gem5/gem5
