Equality Saturation: A New Approach to Optimization
Optimizations in a traditional compiler are applied sequentially, with each
optimization destructively modifying the program to produce a transformed
program that is then passed to the next optimization. We present a new approach
for structuring the optimization phase of a compiler. In our approach,
optimizations take the form of equality analyses that add equality information
to a common intermediate representation. The optimizer works by repeatedly
applying these analyses to infer equivalences between program fragments, thus
saturating the intermediate representation with equalities. Once saturated, the
intermediate representation encodes multiple optimized versions of the input
program. At this point, a profitability heuristic picks the final optimized
program from the various programs represented in the saturated representation.
Our proposed way of structuring optimizers has a variety of benefits over
previous approaches: our approach obviates the need to worry about optimization
ordering, enables the use of a global optimization heuristic that selects among
fully optimized programs, and can be used to perform translation validation,
even on compilers other than our own. We present our approach, formalize it,
and describe our choice of intermediate representation. We also present
experimental results showing that our approach is practical in terms of time
and space overhead, is effective at discovering intricate optimization
opportunities, and is effective at performing translation validation for a
realistic optimizer.Comment: 80 pages, 39 figure

Maximizing Diversity from a Kinase Screen: Identification of Novel and Selective pan-Trk Inhibitors for Chronic Pain
We
have identified several series of small molecule inhibitors
of TrkA with unique binding modes. The starting leads were chosen
to maximize the structural and binding mode diversity derived from
a high throughput screen of our internal compound collection. These
leads were optimized for potency and selectivity employing a structure
based drug design approach adhering to the principles of ligand efficiency
to maximize binding affinity without overly relying on lipophilic
interactions. This endeavor resulted in the identification of several
small molecule pan-Trk inhibitor series that exhibit high selectivity
for TrkA/B/C versus a diverse panel of kinases. We have also demonstrated
efficacy in both inflammatory and neuropathic pain models upon oral
dosing. Herein we describe the identification process, hit-to-lead
progression, and binding profiles of these selective pan-Trk kinase
inhibitors
