Greetings Richard,
I don't know if it's currently possible but whats the best way to either so
about or
use a tool to expose shared state at both the GIMPLE and RTL level. This
would
allow us to figure out much better what algorthims or data structures to
choose
to allow this to scale much better than the current prototype.
You are mixing independent issues. Shared state needs to be identified
and protected for correctness reasons. In some cases changing the
data structure to be protected can make it cheaper to do so. The
scaling of the current prototype is limited by the fraction of the
compilation we parallelize as well as the granularity.
Going forward the most useful things are a) reducing the amount of
state that ends up being shared when we paralellize, b) increase
the fraction of the compilation we paralellize by tackling
RTL optimizations and the early GIMPLE pipeline
The prototype showed that paralellization is beneficial and that it
can be done with a reasonable amount of work.
Richard.
Richard,
Sorry I think your misunderstanding me. I was asking whats the best way to
write a tool to expose twhere and how the shared state is using being used.
Such tool would need to solve the halting problem so it cannot exist.
Richard.
I figured but is it still possible to get the data out of perf if
possible. Not sure
what the best way to get the data for GCC directly is or out of around
profiler
as I assuming even just splitting out some of the larger GIMPLE functions as
a start may help. So what tools or ways are the easiest to profile make -jx
to your knowledge.
Thats where I starting to profile or get real data for the work,
Nick
