Commit Message

Luis Machado July 25, 2018, 6:10 p.m. UTC
The adjusted vector costs give Falkor a reasonable boost in performance for FP
benchmarks (both CPU2017 and CPU2006) and doesn't change INT benchmarks that
much. About 0.7% for CPU2017 FP and 1.54% for CPU2006 FP.

OK for trunk?

gcc/ChangeLog:

2018-07-25  Luis Machado  <luis.machado@linaro.org>

	* config/aarch64/aarch64.c (qdf24xx_vector_cost): New.
	(qdf24xx_tunings) <vec_costs>: Set to qdf24xx_vector_cost.

The patch looks ok and safe to me (though you'll need approval from the maintainers).

I'd be interested to see what workloads in CPU2017 were affected by this.
Any chance you could post the breakdown in numbers from CPU2017?

Thanks,
Kyrill

Sure. Here it is (speed):

605.mcf_s: -1.8%
620.omnetpp_s: -2% (tends to be noisy)
623.xalancbmk_s: 2%
654.roms_s: 7%

INT mean: -0.09%
FP mean: 0.70%

It is worth mentioning i noticed bigger improvements in CPU2017 rate, 
but i did not record those numbers for the final run. The speed 
benchmarks seem to have a slightly different performance profile.

Here's a breakdown of the biggest changes from CPU2006 in case you're 
interested:

410.bwaves: 5.4%
434.zeusmp: 9.7%
436.cactusADM: -12.3%
437.leslie3d: 5.2%
459.GemsFDTD: 16.9%

cactusADM seems to have a pretty big loop that is a win if vectorized, 
but experimentation showed me it is tricky to get GCC to vectorize that 
specific loop without also vectorizing particular loops from the other 
benchmarks.

It would be nice to get cactusADM back up though.

OK if this is what works best for your subtarget.

I have pushed this for Luis since he is on holiday.

Given this has a significant performance impact on Falkor and the 
changes are very localized and specific to Falkor, it would be great to 
have them on GCC 8. Would it be ok to push it?

Thanks,
Luis

I've not got a problem with this if your opinion is that the risk is
worthwhile for Falkor.

Thanks,
