[LLVMdev] [RFC] Benchmarking subset of the test suite

At the LLVM Developers' Meeting in November, I promised to work on isolating
a subset of the current test suite that is useful for benchmarking. Having
looked at this in more detail, most of the applications and benchmarks in the
test suite are useful for benchmarking, and so I think that a better way of
phrasing it is that we should construct a list of programs in the test suite
that are not useful for benchmarking.

My proposed exclusion list is provided below. I constructed this exclusion list
primarily based on the following experiment: I ran the test suite 10 times in
three configurations: 1) On an IBM POWER7 (P7) with -O3 -mvsx, 2) On a P7 at -O0
and 3) On an Intel Xeon E5430 with -O3 all using make -j6. I then used the
ministat utility (which performs a T test) to compare the timings of the two P7
configurations against each other and the Xeon configuration, requiring a
detectable difference at 99.5% confidence. I looked for tests that showed no
significant difference in all three comparisons. The running configuration here
is purposefully noisy, the idea is to eliminate those tests that are
significantly sensitive to startup time, file I/O time, memory bandwidth, etc.,
or just too short, and by running many tests in parallel
(non-deterministically), my hope is to eliminate those tests can cannot usefully
serve as benchmarks in a "normal" environment.

I'll admit being somewhat surprised by so many of the Prolangs and Shootout
"benchmarks" seemingly not serving as useful benchmarks; perhaps
someone can look into improving the problem size, etc. of these.

Without further ado, I propose that a test-suite configuration designed for
benchmarking exclude the following:

[LLVMdev] function pointer from name?

Don't you have the same problem with other atoms, e.g. variable names?
This sounds like something that should be implemented in the language's
runtime library.

[LLVMdev] function pointer from name?

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to implement lisp's funcall function, which roughly calls a 
function, name of which
is known only at runtime.
I know that LLVM IR 'call' directive can accept function pointers, so 
the question is,
is there a simple way to get a function pointer from a function name 
(represented as e.g. i8*)?

BTW, I'm using llvmpy to generate LLVM IR, so if there is a way to do 
this using llvmpy tools, it would also do.

Yours sincerely,
Alexandr Popolitov

Unrelatedly to your point, I think we should just outright remove the bulk of
the SingleSource/Regression / SingleSource/UnitTests tests.  They largely date
back to before Clang existed and aren’t serving much useful value anymore.

Any of them that are useful (e.g. the EH tests?) could be saved or moved
somewhere else.

list primarily based on the following experiment: I ran the test suite 10 times
in three configurations: 1) On an IBM POWER7 (P7) with -O3 -mvsx, 2) On a P7 at
-O0 and 3) On an Intel Xeon E5430 with -O3 all using make -j6. I then used the
ministat utility (which performs a T test) to compare the timings of the two P7
configurations against each other and the Xeon configuration, requiring a
detectable difference at 99.5% confidence. I looked for tests that showed no
significant difference in all three comparisons. The running configuration here
is purposefully noisy, the idea is to eliminate those tests that are
significantly sensitive to startup time, file I/O time, memory bandwidth, etc.,
or just too short, and by running many tests in parallel
(non-deterministically), my hope is to eliminate those tests can cannot usefully
serve as benchmarks in a "normal" environment.

Hi Hal,

thanks for putting the effort! I think the systematic approach you have 
taken is very sensible.

I went through your list and looked at a couple of interesting cases. 
For the shootout benchmarks I looked at the results and the history my 
LNT -O3 builder shows (long history, always 10 samples per run, 
http://llvm.org/perf/db_default/v4/nts/25326)

Some observations from my side:

## Many benchmarks from your list have a runtime of zero seconds 
reported in my tester

## For some of the benchmarks you propose, manually looking at the
   historic samples allows a human to spot certain trends:

 > MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/football/football

http://llvm.org/perf/db_default/v4/nts/graph?show_all_points=yes&moving_window_size=10&plot.237=34.237.3&submit=Update

 > MultiSource/Benchmarks/Prolangs-C/simulator/simulator

http://llvm.org/perf/db_default/v4/nts/graph?show_all_points=yes&moving_window_size=10&plot.314=34.314.3&submit=Update

## Some other benchmarks with zero seconds execution time are not 
contained in your list. E.g.:

SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/objinst
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/objinst

## Some benchmarks on your list are really _no_ benchmarks:

Shoothout hello:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
     puts("hello world\n");
     return(0);
}

Shootout sumcol:

int main(int argc, char * * argv) {
     char line[MAXLINELEN];
     int sum = 0;
     char buff[4096];
     cin.rdbuf()->pubsetbuf(buff, 4096); // enable buffering

     while (cin.getline(line, MAXLINELEN)) {
         sum += atoi(line);
     }
     cout << sum << '\n';
}

To subsum, I believe this list might benefit from some improvements, but 
it seems to be a really good start. If someone wants to do a more 
extensive analysis, we can always analyze the historic data available in 
my -O3 performance buildbot. It should give us a very good idea on how 
noisy certain benchmarks are.

Cheers,
Tobias

[LLVMdev] [RFC] Benchmarking subset of the test suite

On 4 May 2014 19:37, Chris Lattner <clattner at apple.com>
wrote:> Unrelatedly to your point, I think we should just outright remove the bulk

The EH part is somewhat useful for early warnings on silly stuff.
Especially now that we're introducing EHABI support in the compiler
and related libraries, I'd like to keep them for a while. EH tests
rely on many parts and moving them to the LIT tests is not possible
(or not suitable), but we could have a better batch of tests.

If anyone know of any better (the ones we have are *really* silly),
feel free to replace it.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, the regression and unit tests
don't belong with the others, and if we start running applications multiple
times for benchmarking, we'd likely want to exclude these correctness-only
tests. On the other hand, I've found some of these tests quite useful in
catching miscompiles (the EH tests, the bitfield tests, vector intrinsics tests
and the va_args tests specifically come to mind). It might be useful to separate
out some set of 'ABI' tests, even if we remove the others.

Are these plots of compile time or execution time? Both of these say,
"Type: compile_time". I did not consider compile time in my analysis,
and I think that is a separate issue.

Interestingly, on my x86 machines this also executes for zero time, but at -O0
it takes a significant amount of time (and on PPC, even at -O3, it runs for
about 0.0008s). So I think it is still useful to keep these.

I agree that we should not use these programs for benchmarking the compiler but
I actually like having these tests around for correctness of the compiler.  When
developing new optimizations it is really convenient to debug a single file
testcase.

Occasionally bugs show up in unexpected places and for unexpected 
reasons and are caught by some mild mannered member of test-suite.

[LLVMdev] [RFC] Benchmarking subset of the test suite

Sorry that I'm late to this. I scanned the list you provided and it makes
sense to me. But this one caught me by surprise. I remember we put quite a bit
of effort tuning the scheduler to improve codegen quality of blowfish. Are you
sure this particular benchmark isn't serving its purpose?

I think that blowfish was in John the Ripper yes? This is a different
blowfish benchmark. That said, I guess it would depend on how this one
is written.

Yes. As currently configured, the running time is much too short. On PPC64, the
running time is <= 0.001s, and -O3 and -O0 cannot be statistically
distinguished. On x86-64, the running time is even smaller (timeit reports
0.0000 for -O3 builds).
