Factors Affecting Stencil Code Performance

In the field of scientific computation, loop tiling is an indispensable technique for improving cache performance, and thereby the overall performance of the code. Research so far has predominantly been focusing on optimizing the code of a particular tiling choice, under a specific problem setting. In this thesis, I wish to both statistically explore the most important factors in different tiling scenarios, as well as the role the problem parameters may play when making tiling decisions
