Zusammenfassung:Householder Transformation (HT) is a prime building block of widely used numerical linear algebra primitives such as QR factorization. Despite years of intense research on HT, there exists a scope to expose higher Instruction Level Parallelism in HT through algorithmic transforms. In this paper, we propose several novel algorithmic transformations in HT to expose higher Instruction-Level Parallelism. Our propositions are backed by theoretical proofs and a series of experiments using commercial general-purpose processors. Finally, we show that algorithm-architecture co-design leads to the most efficient realization of HT. A detailed experimental study with architectural modifications is presented for a commercial CGRA. The benchmarking results with some of the recent HT implementations show 30-40% improvement in performance.
