Static Versioning in the Polyhedral Model

We present an approach to enhancing the optimization process in a polyhedral compiler by introducing compile-time versioning, i.e., the production of several versions of optimized code under varying assumptions on its run-time parameters. We illustrate this process by enabling versioning in the polyhedral processor placement pass. We propose an efficient code generation method and validate that versioning can be useful in a polyhedral compiler by performing benchmarking on a small set of deep learning layers defined for dynamically-sized tensors.
