Annotation-guided AoS-to-SoA conversions and GPU offloading with data views in C++
The C++ programming language provides classes and structs as fundamental modeling entities. Consequently, C++ code tends to favour array-of-structs (AoS) for encoding data sequences, even though structure-of-arrays (SoA) yields better performance for some calculations. We propose a C++ language extension based on attributes that allows developers to guide the compiler in selecting memory arrangements, i.e.~to select the optimal choice between AoS and SoA dynamically depending on both the execut…

An extension of C++ with memory-centric specifications for HPC to reduce memory footprints and streamline MPI development
The C++ programming language and its cousins lean towards a memory-inefficient storage of structs: The compiler inserts helper bits such that individual instance variables fit to byte or cache boundaries, while it is not able to exploit knowledge about the range of integers, enums or bitsets. Furthermore, the language provides neither support for data exchange via MPI nor for arbitrary floating-point precisions. We propose C++ attributes through which developers can guide the compiler what memo…
