Frameworks Supporting The Polyhedral Model - Differences in Approach or Implementation Status

Differences in Approach or Implementation Status

Some of the libraries have seen more extensive development than the Omega Library in the early 2000s, and in many places has much more sophisticated algorithms. In particular, users have reported good results with the Cloog code generator (both in terms of the code generated, and in terms of ability to control trade-offs when generating code), and with the algorithms for counting integer solutions (Alexander Barvinok's work requires a vertex description of the polytope, which is not supported in the Omega Library).

There are several other points on which the frameworks differ, specifically:

Famous quotes containing the words differences, approach and/or status:

    Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents.
    Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

    Genuine polemics approach a book as lovingly as a cannibal spices a baby.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.
