[llvm-dev] [GSoC 2016] [Weekly Status] Interprocedural Register Allocation
Dear Community, The patch for Interprocedural Register Allocation has been committed now , thanks to Mehdi Amini for that. We would like you to play with it and let us know your views and more importantly ideas to improve it. The test-suite run has indicated some non trivial issue that results in run time failure of the programs, we will be investigating it more. Here are some stats : test-suite has been tested with IPRA enabled and overall results are not much encouraging. On average 30% increase in compile time. Many programs have also increase in execution time ( average 20%) that is really serious concern for us. About 60 tests have failed on run time this indicates error in compilation. how ever 3 tests have improvement in their runtime and that is 7% average. This week I think good thing for me to learn is to setup llvm development environment properly other wise one can end up wasting too much time building the llvm it self. So here is brief summary: Implementation: =========== The patch has been split into analysis and transformation passes. The pass responsible for register usage propagation has been made target independent. A print method and command line option -print-regusage has been added so that RegMaks details can be printed in Release builds also, this enables lit test case to be testable in Release build too. Other minor changes to adhere coding and naming conventions. Testing: ===== test-suite has been tested with IPRA enabled. Study and other: ============ Learned about LNT, test-suite for LLVM, Inline assembly in LLVM IR, fastcc, local functions, MCStream class. In C++ I leaned about emplace family of methods in STL and perfect forwarding introduced in C++11. Plan for next week: 1) Investigate issue related to functional correctness that leads to run time failures 2) profile the compilation process to verify increase in time due to IPRA 3) Improve IPRA by instructing codegen to not save register for local function. 4) Make the pass emit asm comments to indicate register clobbered by function call at call site in generated ASM file.

Yes there is runtime slow down for some test cases ranging from 1% to 64% similarly compile time slow down is ranging from 1% to 48%. The runtime performance improvement is ranging from 1% to 35% and surprisingly there is also compile time improvement in a range from 1% to 60% . I would request you to go through complete results at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cavn-POrZdhw-rrdPXV8mSvyppvOWs2rxmLgaOnd6KE/edit?usp=sharing Also there is not extra failure due to IPRA now so in the result above I have removed failures.
