My previous change to the Cortex-A53 scheduler resulted in a 13% regression on a proprietary benchmark. This turned out to be due to non-optimal scheduling of int to float conversions. This patch separates int to FP transfers from int to float conversions based on experiments to determine the best schedule. As a result of these tweaks the performance of the benchmark improves by 20%.
ChangeLog: 2017-01-10 Wilco Dijkstra <wdijk...@arm.com> * config/arm/cortex-a53.md: Add bypasses for cortex_a53_r2f_cvt. (cortex_a53_r2f): Only use for transfers. (cortex_a53_f2r): Likewise. (cortex_a53_r2f_cvt): Add reservation for conversions. (cortex_a53_f2r_cvt): Likewise. -- diff --git a/gcc/config/arm/cortex-a53.md b/gcc/config/arm/cortex-a53.md index 14822ba0ac0532aaf0dd29cff7a87e32e745cbe8..b367ad403a4a641da34521c17669027b87092737 100644 --- a/gcc/config/arm/cortex-a53.md +++ b/gcc/config/arm/cortex-a53.md @@ -252,9 +252,18 @@ "cortex_a53_r2f") (define_bypass 1 "cortex_a53_mul, - cortex_a53_load*" + cortex_a53_load1, + cortex_a53_load2" "cortex_a53_r2f") +(define_bypass 2 "cortex_a53_alu*" + "cortex_a53_r2f_cvt") + +(define_bypass 3 "cortex_a53_mul, + cortex_a53_load1, + cortex_a53_load2" + "cortex_a53_r2f_cvt") + ;; Model flag forwarding to branches.
