// An implementation of the Window Scheduling software pipelining algorithm.
//
// The concept of the window algorithm was first unveiled in Steven Muchnick's
// book, "Advanced Compiler Design And Implementation", and later elaborated
// upon in Venkatraman Govindaraju's report, "Implementation of Software
// Pipelining Using Window Scheduling".
//
// The window algorithm can be perceived as a modulo scheduling algorithm with a
// stage count of 2. It boasts a higher scheduling success rate in targets with
// severe resource conflicts when compared to the classic Swing Modulo
// Scheduling (SMS) algorithm. To align with the LLVM scheduling framework, we
// have enhanced the original window algorithm. The primary steps are as
// follows:
//
// 1. Instead of duplicating the original MBB twice as mentioned in the
// literature, we copy it three times, generating TripleMBB and the
// corresponding TripleDAG.
//
// 2. We establish a scheduling window on TripleMBB and execute list scheduling
// within it.
//
// 3. After multiple list scheduling, we select the best outcome and expand it
// into the final scheduling result.
//
// To cater to the needs of various targets, we have developed the window
// scheduler in a form that is easily derivable. We recommend employing this
// algorithm in targets with severe resource conflicts, and it can be utilized
// either before or after the Register Allocator (RA).
//
// The default implementation provided here is before RA. If it is to be used
// after RA, certain critical algorithm functions will need to be derived.
