Methods and apparatus for machine learning-guided compiler optimizations for register-based hardware architectures

Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed that perform machine learning-guided compiler optimizations for register-based hardware architectures. Examples disclosed herein include a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least select a register-based compiler transformation to apply to source code at a current position in a search tree, determine whether the search tree is in need of pruning based on an output of a query to a machine learning (ML) model, in response to determining the search tree is in need of pruning, prune the search tree at the current position, in response to applying the selected register-based compiler transformation to the source code, generate a code variant, calculate a score associated with the source code at the current position in the search tree, and update parameters of the machine learning (ML) model to include the calculated score.
