Dear all,
I have redone the SPEC2006 CPU FP tests again after adding "-march=native".
Unfortunately, the results are not
very good for the new if-converter. I believe this is the case because the CPU in
question [details below] "only"
has first-generation AVX, and, from what I`ve been told, at least AVX2 is
needed for scatter/gather and/or
masked loads/stores, and possibly even AVX512 [the 3rd generation]. As I have
written before, in my opinion
the new converter would be better than the old one if enough time and effort
were to be spent on it,
especially the time and effort to make it not add unneeded indirections.
First, I will give the totals. Then, I`ll give the CPU details for better understanding
what "-march=native"
did [or at least should have done]. Then, I`ll give the per-subtest numbers
that Richard requested.
For concision, I will use "Richard`s check-in" to refer to the GCC I built from
Richard`s check-in dated July 10 2015
with Git SHA "cb791e75379bc0c8b10bd13bcb24305c36fd504b" and "git-svn-id:
svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@225652".
[my reason for rebasing the relevant Git check-out to that point: quoting
Richard`s check-in message:
"PR tree-optimization/66823
* tree-if-conv.c (memrefs_read_or_written_unconditionally): Fix inverted
predicate."]
All the compilations were done with "-Ofast". The results, all integers, are
the number of loops that were vectorized.
Regards,
Abe
