I ran SPEC2006 on a Cortex-A72. Overall scores were neutral but there were
some interesting swings.
458.sjeng +1.45%
471.omnetpp +2.19%
445.gobmk -2.01%
On SPECFP:
453.povray +7.00%
Wow, this looks really good. Thank you for implementing this. If I
get some time I am going to try it out on other processors than A72
but I doubt I have time any time soon.
I'd love to hear what causes the slowdown for gobmk as well, btw.
I haven't yet gotten a direct answer for that (through performance analysis
tools)
but I have noticed that load/store pairs are not generated as aggressively as I
hoped.
They are being merged by the sched fusion pass and peepholes (which runs after
this)
but it still misses cases. I've hacked the SWS hooks to generate pairs
explicitly and that
increases the number of pairs and helps code size to boot. It complicates the
logic of
the hooks a bit but not too much.
I'll make those changes and re-benchmark, hopefully that
will help performance.
Thanks,
