Simplifying Install-time Auto-Tuning for Cross-Compilation Environments by Program Execution Forwarding

This paper proposes a tool called the TLDT (Transparent Load Distribution Tool), which runs two types of executables, one for a local host and one for a remote host on a cross-compilation environment, by detecting the differences of them automatically. We confirmed the effectiveness of this tool by installing software with an install-time auto-tuning facility like ATLAS, which does not fully support cross compilation.
