Frameworks Supporting The Polyhedral Model
Use of the polyhedral model within a compiler requires software to represent the objects of this framework (sets of integer-valued points in regions of various spaces) and perform operations upon them (e.g., testing whether the set is empty).
For more detail about the objects and operations in this model, and an example relating the model to the programs being compiled, see the polyhedral model page.
There are many frameworks supporting the polyhedral model. Some of these frameworks use one or more libraries for performing polyhedral operations. Others, notably Omega, combine everything in a single package. Some commonly used libraries are the Omega Library (and a more recent fork), piplib, PolyLib, PPL, isl, the cloog polyhedral code generator, and the barvinok library for counting integer solutions. Of these libraries, PolyLib and PPL focus mostly on rational values, while the other libraries focus on integer values. The polyhedral framework of gcc is called Graphite. Polly provides polyhedral optimizations for LLVM.

Famous quotes containing the words supporting, polyhedral and/or model:
“There would be no supporting life were we to feel quite as poignantly for others as we do for ourselves.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“O hideous little bat, the size of snot,
With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“... if we look around us in social life and note down who are the faithful wives, the most patient and careful mothers, the most exemplary housekeepers, the model sisters, the wisest philanthropists, and the women of the most social influence, we will have to admit that most frequently they are women of cultivated minds, without which even warm hearts and good intentions are but partial influences.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
