Hello to all. I'm trying to implement a simple register allocator using graph colouring (I know, everyone has already done that :-)) and I'm also using LLVM 3.4 from master branch. The algorithm I'm using is based on the one described on the "Modern Compiler Implementation in C". My implementation is totally experimental and doesn't aim to be fast, eficient or even

Good Night. I'm implementing a Interference Graph in the Register Allocation pass. I'm building this graph BEFORE any assignment of a virtual register to physical register. But I have a doubt about how to check the interference between two Live Intervals (i.e. They live at same point), should I use: L1->overlaps(L2) Where L1 and L2 are two different Live Intervals. Or should I use:

Ok, just to clarify, RegUnits, as far I understand, are Physical registers or alias to Physical registers. They exist because some instructions use physical registers directly rather than virtual register. It's right? And why this RegUnits should be present in the Interference Graph? I thought were only the Live Intervals would be the nodes of the graph. Sorry about the trouble to

Hi, Using Chaitin's approach, removing a copy via coalescing could expose more opportunities for coalescing. So he would iteratively rebuild the interference graph and check for more opportunities. Chaitin was also careful to make sure that the source and destination of a copy didn't interfere unnecessarily (because of the copy alone); that is, his approach to interference was very

Yes, I quite liked the things I've read about the PBQP allocator. Given what the hardware folks have to go through to get 1% improvements in scalar code, spending 20% (or whatever) compile time (under control of a flag) seems like nothing. And falling back on "average code" is a little disingenuous. People looking for performance don't care about average code; they care about

Toward a better register allocator, I'm attempting to understand the dataflow information available to the allocator. What's the difference between LiveInterval information and LiveVariable information? If a LiveInterval is based on a linear ordering of the machine instructions, isn't it rather conservative in nature? Let's say I have a typical diamond CFG: A

The phi instruction is irrelevant; just the way I think about things. The question is if the allocator believes that t0 and t2 interfere. Perhaps the coalescing example was too simple. In the general case, we can't coalesce without a notion of interference. My worry is that looking at interference by ranges of instruction numbers leads to inaccuracies when a range is introduced by a copy.

It depends on the details. For example, given

Hi, We have found that exist a huge degradation in performance when doing I/O to a disk images contained in single files from a paravirtualized domain and from an HVM at the same time. The problem was found in a Xen box with Fedora 8 x86_64 binaries installed (Xen 3.1.0 + dom0 Linux 2.6.21). The test hardware was a rack mounted server with two 2.66 Ghz Xeon X5355 (4 cores each one, 128 Kb L1

Hi, I worked in llvm to get some information from live variable analysis. If the live range of one variable interferes with another, we could record the related two variables into a pair. For example, with a function with local variables 'a', 'b', 'c', 'x' and 'y', the pair set { (a, b), (b,c), (x,y)} indicates that 'a' interferes with 'b',

Hi, I have a frontend that could insert many calls to an external threading library, my problem is that would interfere with optimizations, particularly the inliner. Is there some way to do this ? I've considered leaving textual markers in function names, is that a legitimate solution ? James -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hi Kameshwar, You're best off sending emails such as this to the LLVM developers mailing list (llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu). You'll reach a much wider audience. The PBQPRegAlloc::buildInterferenceMatrix method constructs a PBQP cost matrix representing a single interference constraint, which doesn't sound like what you want. It is only used by the PBQP allocator (-regalloc=pbqp), whereas

LiveVariables gives you something like liveness analysis: where each variable is alive, that is, across each basic blocks, where it is defined, and where it is killed. LiveIntervals gives you a linear representation of the variables as a set of intervals. Yes, it handle holes in the live ranges. There is a very nice description of these analysis and related data structures here:
