[ptp-dev] PTP Refactoring Plugin Development

[Fredrik Kjoelstad <fredrikbk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am a student of Marc Snir at UIUC and we are interested in tools to help programmers refactor their HPC code for increased performance.  We want to combine information from compilers, performance tools and custom analyses with the programmers knowledge of the domain to make concrete suggestions on how the code can be transformed.

We want to implement such refactorings within PTP so I thought I should introduce myself.  I would also be interested in any advice on how to set up a refactoring plugin project that has access to the internal representations (Callgraph, CFGs, Dependence Graphs, etc.) that PTP provides.  Would this just be a CDT Plugin project with some extra dependencies?

Sincerely,

Fredrik Berg Kjolstad
