Abstract (EN): A common migration path for applications to high-performance multicore architectures relies on code annotations with concurrent semantics. Some annotations, however, are very target architecture specific and thus highly non-portable. In this paper we describe a source-to-source code transformation system that allows programmers to specify transformations using an aspect-oriented domain specific language - LARA. LARA allows programmers to specify strategies to search large code transformation design spaces while preserving the original source code. As the experimental results reveal, this approach leads to a substantial reduction in code maintenance costs, and promotes the portability of both programmers and performance. Copyright © 2014 ACM.
