   Author : Viktoria Rösler; [2023]
   Keywords : idiom; familiarity; comprehension; Sweden; Upper secondary school; EnglisH;

   Abstract : This study investigates Swedish upper secondary students’ familiarity with English idioms, and whether or not there are differences depending on what level of proficiency the students are at. The participating students took an idiom familiarity test adapted from Nippold & Rudzinski (1993) which aimed at measuring students’ familiarity with a number of English idioms. READ MORE

6. 5. Idiom-driven innermost loop vectorization in the presence of cross-iteration data dependencies in the HotSpot C2 compiler

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Programvara och system

   Author : William Sjöblom; [2020]
   Keywords : compiler; vectorization; SIMD; Java; HotSpot; code optimization; reductions; prefix sums; parallel programming; data-level parallelism;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a technique for automatic vectorization of innermost single statement loops with a cross-iteration data dependence by analyzing data-flow to recognize frequently recurring program idioms. Recognition is carried out by matching the circular SSA data-flow found around the loop body’s φ-function against several primitive patterns, forming a tree representation of the relevant data-flow that is then pruned down to a single parameterized node, providing a high-level specification of the data-flow idiom at hand used to guide algorithmic replacement applied to the intermediate representation.
