SPO600 INTRODUCTION

-


Hello! My name is Puja Kakani. I am currently pursuing Computer Programming and Analysis (third year) from Seneca College. My course gives you the skills and information that need to start your career as a software developer. You will become acquainted with programming languages, program design, and system analysis. All courses use web ideas in order to construct active database web apps on a range of operating systems. Professional option courses teach advanced techniques. One of the professional course includes SPO600. 

The SPO600 communication tools SSH keys and creating a blog site were simple to set up. The only issue I had was obtaining Blogger.com (a website where you can make your own blog online) and sending the various links to the professor so that the professor could also view my posts. I've never blogged or participated in an open source project before, so this course will be quite fresh and hopefully exciting for me!

Lab 5 - Algorithm Selection Lab

-
In this lab, I wrote a set of programs that generates sound samples in a data array. It generates 5000000 samples as specified in the provided "vol.h" file, then scales the samples by a factor of 0.75 and returns them to the array. As a result, the program generates and displays a sum from the output array. To test the run time for each program, we'll use the command "time./programName," which will run the program and output the results as well as the time it took to run it. The program's real time is the sum of two sections: "user time" and "system time." Task 1: I obtained the base run time data we will work with when I ran the initial program, "vol1." This program runs with the volume factor unchanged. This allows us to test the other programs and observe any significant changes in run time data. Running the same program will not always produce the same results; there may be slight differences. This could be due to initial r

SPO600 - Project Stage 2

-
Introduction: This tool generates three versions of the function specified as the second argument. Then, while building the main output file from these functions, this tool employs the ifunc capability to select the best method.  The tool was written in Python, while the ifunc resolver function is written in C. In this blog, I will explain the tool's working mechanism and limitations, as well as the procedure for testing the tool. Accessing the tool: The tool is hosted on GitHub. The tool is available for download at https://github.com/puja1102/SPO600Project . The GPL version 2 licence governs the use of this tool. The tool's main files are as follows: tool.py: the main tool written in Python that builds the functions and generates the output binary files using the best SIMD implementation. template.txt: This is a text file containing the template for the ifunc function, as well as the resolver function for the ifunc. The ifunc.c file is created using this template. This tool

Auto Vectorization

-
 I'm working on a blog post about the concept of automatic vectorization in parallel computing, which can help reduce the number of cycles and chains in loops. It means that instead of scalar implementation, code can be converted to perform vector operations, which means a single operation can be performed on multiple operands. The GCC compiler is sophisticated enough to use vectorization to optimise code and improve performance. It is possible to accomplish this by using optimization flags such as -03 and -ftree-vectorize. AArch64 supports three extensions: SMID (Single Instruction, Multi Data), SVE, and SVE2. SVE  and SVE2 Scalable Vector Extension 2 (SVE2) is an armv9 extension that provides variable-width SMID capability. The main difference between SVE2 and SVE is the functional coverage of the instruction set. SVE and SVE2 both allow for large amounts of data to be collected and processed. For an aarch64 system, run the following command to enable SVE: gcc -g -O3 -c march=arm
