[llvm-dev] [SPIR/PTX] Divergence analysis for BasicBlocks

[Zaks, Ayal via llvm-dev]

What would be the definition of “isControlDivergent(BasicBlock*)”; the complementary of “allActive(BasicBlock*)” – blocks known to execute all lanes, whenever reached? Note the (distinct) term “rewire targets” that Ralf Karrenberg used in his thesis.

Subject: [llvm-dev] [SPIR/PTX] Divergence analysis for BasicBlocks

Hello,

It seems to me that our current DivergenceAnalysis does not save which BasicBlocks may suffer from divergent control. Am I correct?

I want to modify our DivergenceAnalysis to add a "bool isControlDivergent(BasicBlock*) const" method and save in the divergence propagator the basicblock that are divergent. I am not sure that is entirely correct, if you have input on that please let me know.

That being said, to ease my debugging process I want to introduce a -dot-divergence pass that dump the cfg with divergent basicblocks in red. I was wondering if our dot printer is flexible enough to allow me to also print in color the SSA variables that are divergent.

Thanks.
