The Algebraic With-Loop Folding (AWLF) project extends the capability of the With-Loop Folding optimization One problem we have observed in AWLF, specifically in the apex/logd3/logd.sac benchmark, is that WLSIMP eliminates a degenerate WL, replacing it by a sel() into a producerWL that may be otherwise unused. This results in degraded performance, because the producerWL generates a large intermediate result, but we only use one element of that result.

Current Status: Nothing done yet. (2012-03-22)

Needed Work:

• Treat the sel() as if it were a consumerWL, and extend AWLF (AWLFI, AWLF) to perform AWLF on the sel().
