Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Detecting repetitive “phases ” in program execution is helpful for program understanding, runtime optimization, and for reducing simulation/profiling workload. The nature of the phases that may be found, however, depend on the kinds of programs, as well how programs interact with the underlying hardware. We present a technique to detect long term and variable length repetitive program behaviour by monitoring microarchitecture-level hardware events. Our approach results in high quality repetitive phase detection; we propose quantitative methods of evaluation, and show that our design accurately calculates phases with a 92 % “confidence ” level. We further validate our design through an implementation and analysis of phase-driven, runtime profiling, showing a reduction of about 50 % of the profiling workload while still preserving 94 % accuracy in the profiling results. Our work confirms that it is practical to detect high-level phases from lightweight hardware monitoring, and to use such information to improve runtime performance.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
