Tobi,
it looks like this code is the problem:
for (std::vector<Value *>::iterator PI = Pointers.begin(),
PE = Pointers.end();
;) {
Value *V = *PI;
if (V->getName().size() == 0)
OS << "\"" << *V <<
"\"";
else
OS << "\"" << V->getName() <<
"\"";
++PI;
if (PI != PE)
OS << ", ";
else
break;
}
INVALID_NOVERIFY(Alias, OS.str());
it prints values to OS even when debug is not turned on:
if you remember, I have already sent a patch to conditionally execute this code
in a DEBUG() stmt. You rejected that patch because it would not work for
other reporting tools -polly-show or some other flags.

I have found that the extremely expensive compile-time overhead comes from the string buffer operation for "INVALID" MACRO in the polly-detect pass. Attached is a hack patch file that simply remove the string buffer operation. This patch file can significantly reduce compile-time overhead when compiling big source code. For example, for oggen*8.ll, the compile time is reduced from 40.5261 ( 51.2%) to 5.8813s (15.9%) with this patch file. However, this patch file does not solve this problem. It only shows the reason why polly-detect pass leads to significant compile-time overhead. Best wishes, Star Tan.

Hi Sebastian, Yes, you have pointed an important reason. If we comment this source code you have listed, then the compile-time overhead for oggenc*8.ll can be reduced from 40.5261 ( 51.2%) to 20.3100 ( 35.7%). I just sent another mail to explain why polly-detect pass leads to significant compile-time overhead. Besides the reason you have pointed, another reason is resulted from those string buffer operations in "INVALID" MACRO. If we comment both the string buffer operations in "INVALID" MACRO and in the "isValidMemoryAccess" function, the compile-time overhead for oggenc*8.ll would be reduced from 40.5261 ( 51.2%) to 5.8813s (15.9%). I think we should revise these string buffer operations in Polly-detect pass.

[LLVMdev] Analysis of polly-detect overhead in oggenc

This patch file can significantly reduce compile-time overhead when compiling big source code. For example, for oggen*8.ll, the compile time is reduced from 40.5261 ( 51.2%) to 5.8813s (15.9%) with this patch file.Very nice analysis. I just tried it myself and can verify that for oggenc 16x, your patch reduces the scop-detection time from 90 seconds (80 %) to 0.5 seconds (2.5 %). I think there are two problems: 1) The cost of printing a single LLVM type/value increases with the size of the overall Module. This seems to be because TypeFinder::run() is called each time, without caching in place. The cost of TypeFinder::run() increases with the size of the module, as it basically just performs a scan on the entire Module. 2) We are formatting the failure messages during normal compilation, even though they are only used in debugging tools like -view-scops In terms of solutions: It would be interesting to understand why is 1) so slow, especially as it seems to be either a fundamental problem in LLVM IR printing or the way we use the IR printing infrastructure. On the other side, for Polly we need to solve 2) anyway. Even if formatting would be faster, we should still not do it, if not needed. As we need to solve 2) anyway, 1) will only hit us when we do debugging/formatting. I assume in case of debugging the files we are looking into are normally smaller, such that the formatting overhead will not be that big. Hence, I would focus on 2). We could probably just put the code under a NDEBUG ifndef, but I would actually like to keep them available even in NDEBUG mode, as we may want to use the error messages to hint users to why their code can not be optimized. For this and also to get rid of another annoyance, the INVALID macro, I think we need to restructure the reporting of the last error, such that formatting of the error messages can be done on-demand. Another problem that could be solved at this point is to remove the macro use, which hides the fact that the functions return as soon as INVALID is called, which is plainly ugly. I am not sure how to structure this, but I could imagine some small class hierarchy that has a class for each error type. Each class just stores pointers to the data structures it needs to format its error message, but only formats the error on-demand. We could then return this class in case of failure and return a NoError class or a NULL pointer in case of success. This change may also help us to later add support to keep track of all errors we encounter (not just the first one). This is something Andreas and Johannes found helpful earlier. Cheers, Tobias g

This patch file can significantly reduce compile-time overhead when compiling big source code. For example, for oggen*8.ll, the compile time is reduced from 40.5261 ( 51.2%) to 5.8813s (15.9%) with this patch file.On top of your patch, I have removed from ScopDetection.cpp all printing of LLVM values, like this: - INVALID(AffFunc, "Non affine access function: " << *AccessFunction); + INVALID(AffFunc, "Non affine access function: "); there are a good dozen or so of these pretty printing. With these changes the compile time spent in ScopDetection drops dramatically to almost 0: here is the longest running one in the compilation of an Android stack: 2.1900 ( 13.7%) 0.0100 ( 7.7%) 2.2000 ( 13.6%) 2.2009 ( 13.4%) Polly - Detect static control parts (SCoPs) Before these changes, the top most expensive ScopDetection time used to be a few hundred of seconds.
