In fact, the compile-time overhead of loading Polly shared object file is very
small (usually less than 1%). Their overhead can be viewed on:

expensive Polly passes such as PollyDependence, PollyOptimization and
PollyCodegen. Especially, I notice that the PollyDependence can lead to
significant extra compile-time overhead. Its compile-time percentage for some
expensive benchmarks can be summarized as:

Yes, you can view the comparison on:
    http://188.40.87.11:8000/db_default/v4/nts/26?compare_to=25&baseline=25

Results show that this patch file is very effective for several benchmarks, such
as salsa20 (reduced by 97.72%), Obsequi (54.62%), seidel-2d (48.64%),
telecomm-gsm (33.71%).

Yes. nestedloop.c is a very simple benchmark that contains a single nested loop
as follows:
    int n = ((argc == 2) ? atoi(argv[1]) : LENGTH);
    int a, b, c, d, e, f, x=0;
    for (a=0; a<n; a++)
        for (b=0; b<n; b++)
            for (c=0; c<n; c++)
                for (d=0; d<n; d++)
                    for (e=0; e<n; e++)
                        for (f=0; f<n; f++)
                            x++;
Polly would significantly increases the compile-time from 0.0320s to 2.3320
(70x), but it also reduces the execution time from 0.048s to 0.004s (12x). Maybe
it is worth, but I think that would be eif we can reduce the compile-time
without hurting the execution performance.

I see. Still, I think we should eliminate to remove another source of noise.

I am slightly confused. What are we comparing here? It seems we compare 
a PollyScopInfo run with a PollyDependences run (same source code?) and 
the Dependences run shows compile time speedup over ScopInfo? This is 
surprising.

The numbers rather suggest that those are two Dependences runs the first 
without the patch applied the second with. If this is the case,
why does the page say "*** WARNING ***: comparison is against a 
different machine (pollyScopInfo__clang_DEV__x86_64,11)"?

Sure. Any ideas what is going on here? It seems you have a couple of 
open problems. It probably makes sense to open a bug report for each of 
them and attach source code as well as your findings there.

Got it.  The comparison between Polly and "clang -O3 -load
LLVMPolly.so" can be viewed on:

In fact, there are three runs:

pollyOpt (run id = 18): the baseline of Polly 
pollyScopInfo (run id = 25): Polly with the ScopInfo patch r187728 that split
start value from SCEVAddRecExpr
pollyDependence (run id = 26): Polly with both ScopInfo patch r187728 and
PollyDependence patch r187981 that simplify the Read/Write/MayWrite before
feeding them into ISL.

As a result, I compare pollyDependence (run id = 26) with pollyScopInfo (run id
= 25) to see the impact of our ScopDependence patch r187981.  Their only
difference is the ScopDependence patch file.

Of course, you can view the total performance improvements of ScopInfo patch and
PollyDependence patch on:

LNT always report warning if you compare two runs with different tester names.
