OBDD-Based Representation of Interval Graphs
A graph can be described by the characteristic function of the
edge set which maps a pair of binary encoded nodes to 1 iff the nodes
are adjacent. Using \emph{Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams} (OBDDs) to store
can lead to a (hopefully) compact representation. Given the OBDD as an
input, symbolic/implicit OBDD-based graph algorithms can solve optimization
problems by mainly using functional operations, e.g. quantification or binary
synthesis. While the OBDD representation size can not be small in general, it
can be provable small for special graph classes and then also lead to fast
algorithms. In this paper, we show that the OBDD size of unit interval graphs
is and the OBDD size of interval graphs is $O(\
| V \ | \log \ | V \ |)\Omega(\ | V \ | \log
\ | V \ |)O(\log \ | V \ |)O(\log^2 \ | V \ |)$ operations and
evaluate the algorithms empirically.Comment: 29 pages, accepted for 39th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic

On the Complexity of Spill Everywhere under SSA Form
Compilation for embedded processors can be either aggressive (time consuming
cross-compilation) or just in time (embedded and usually dynamic). The
heuristics used in dynamic compilation are highly constrained by limited
resources, time and memory in particular. Recent results on the SSA form open
promising directions for the design of new register allocation heuristics for
embedded systems and especially for embedded compilation. In particular,
heuristics based on tree scan with two separated phases -- one for spilling,
then one for coloring/coalescing -- seem good candidates for designing
memory-friendly, fast, and competitive register allocators. Still, also because
of the side effect on power consumption, the minimization of loads and stores
overhead (spilling problem) is an important issue. This paper provides an
exhaustive study of the complexity of the ``spill everywhere'' problem in the
context of the SSA form. Unfortunately, conversely to our initial hopes, many
of the questions we raised lead to NP-completeness results. We identify some
polynomial cases but that are impractical in JIT context. Nevertheless, they
can give hints to simplify formulations for the design of aggressive
allocators.Comment: 10 page
