You can throw a loop a curve
[Armin Groesslinger]
Automatic, model-based program transformation relies on the ability to generate code from a model description of the program. In the context of automatic parallelisation, cache optimisation and similar transformations, the task is to generate loop nests which enumerate the iteration points within given domains. Several approaches to code generation from polyhedral descriptions of iteration sets have been proposed and are in use. We present an approach to generating loop nests for index sets with arbitrary polynomials as bounds using cylindrical algebraic decomposition. The generated loops are efficient in the sense that no integer superset is enumerated.
