    Abstract: A method for compiling and executing a nested loop includes initializing a nested loop controller with an outer loop count value and an inner loop count value. The nested loop controller includes a predicate FIFO. The method also includes coalescing the nested loop and, during execution of the coalesced nested loop, causing the nested loop controller to populate the predicate FIFO and executing a get predicate instruction having an offset value, where the get predicate returns a value from the predicate FIFO specified by the offset value. The method further includes predicating an outer loop instruction on the returned value from the predicate FIFO.

    Abstract: A compiler converts a high level language program into a corresponding machine level language program. The compiler forms an initial control flow graph of the high level language program with nodes and edge, the nodes including a starting node, initializing a collapse count to zero, and sets the initial control flow graph as a current control flow graph. The compiler performs iterative collapsing operations on the current control flow graph until only a single node remains. After performing the iterative collapsing operations, data flow analysis is performed on the initial control flow graph for a number of iterations equal to one greater than the collapse count. Then, the machine level language program corresponding to the high level language program is generated based upon the data flow analysis.

    Abstract: A nested loop controller includes a first register having a first value initialized to an initial first value, a second register having a second value initialized to an initial second value, and a third register configured as a predicate FIFO, initialized to have a third value. The second value is advanced in response to a tick instruction during execution of a loop. In response to the second value reaching a second threshold, the second register is reset to the initial second value. The nested loop controller further includes a comparator coupled to the second register and to the predicate FIFO and configured to provide an outer loop indicator value as input to the predicate FIFO when the second value is equal to the second threshold, and provide an inner loop indicator value as input to the predicate FIFO when the second value is not equal to the second threshold.
