TL;DR: In this article, an instruction specifying: a destination operand, a size of vector elements, a source operand and a mask corresponding to a portion of the vector element data fields in the source operands, corresponding to the mask and compare the values for equality.

TL;DR: A vector friendly instruction format as mentioned in this paper has a plurality of fields including a base operation field, a modifier field, an augmentation operation field and a data element width field, wherein the first instruction format supports different versions of base operations and different augmentation operations through placement of different values in the base operator field, the modifier field and the alpha field.

TL;DR: The YASK (Yet Another Stencil Kernel) framework is described, including domain-specific-languages (DSLs), code generators for stencil-equation and loop code, and a genetic-algorithm-based automated tuning tool.

TL;DR: The architecture of the Devito compiler, as well as the performance optimizations that are applied when generating code, are presented and the effectiveness of such performance optimizations is demonstrated using operators drawn from seismic imaging applications.

TL;DR: A model-tree based approach based on the M5' algorithm is implemented and validated that accounts for event interactions and workload characteristics, attesting it as a sound approach for performance analysis of modern superscalar machines.
