Andrea, thanks for the advice.

You would then use those indicators to classify outlined functions. Yes basically, the idea is to build a performance model for that outlined function. llvm-mca doesn't know how to evaluate branches or instructions that...

...ltiple basic blocks? The current patch does not take into consideration cases where the region start and end intrinsics are placed in different basic blocks. Such would be the case if a region is defined to span multiple blocks. This would be similar to the current case where a user places a #LLVM-MCA-BEGIN assembly comment in one block and an #LLVM-MCA-END in another. However, as you point out below, if the user does this in the source code via intrinsics (just what this patch is proposing), then there is a chance that optimizations might change the layout of the instructions and confuse the o...

(on the correct mailing list) Hi all, tl;dr: We'd like to propose moving tools/llvm-mca/lib into lib/MCA and create a new MCA library in LLVM. llvm-mca has recently been split <https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37696> into its core part and the tool part. - The core part simulates the execution of a basic block of machine instructions as modeled by the llvm Sched...

Hi Lorenzo, I’ll answer the first question you have: > I would like to use llvm-mca to estimate the IPC of a given code region.

...gma omp parallel for for(auto i = 0; i < size; ++i){ // … do work } stop_collecting_parallel_for_data(); The omp region will get outlined into a new function and what I would like to be be able to do in opt is compile just that function to assembly, for some target that I have chosen, run llvm-mca just on that function, and then replace the -1.0s with uOps Per Cycle, IPC, and Block RThroughput so that my logging code has some estimate of the performance of that region. Is there any reasonable way to do this from inside opt? I already have everything in place to find the start_collect_paral...

Thanks for clarifying it Matt. In general, I quite like your suggested design. My only concern is about the semantic of the two new intrinsics. You design doesn't allow mca ranges to span through multiple basic blocks. That constraint is acceptable for now, since llvm-mca doesn't know how to deal with control flow. However, I am a bit concerned about what might happen in future if we decide to let users specify code regions that span through multiple basic blocks....

Introduction ----------------- Currently llvm-mca only accepts assembly code as input. We would like to extend llvm-mca to support object files, allowing users to analyze the performance of binaries. The proposed changes (which involve both clang and llvm) optionally introduce an object file section, but this can be stripped-out if desired. For t...

However, it would require a different llvm-mca pipeline of stages. That is because some stages (and simulated hardware components) work under the assumption that the processor is out-of-order (example: the dispatch stage and the retire stage). That being sadi, it would be a bit more complicated to add support instruction itineraries. At the mom...

Hi Matt, I can see a near future where perf-analysis tooling uses branch history profiler captures to determine how often loops/branches are taken and feeds that into llvm-mca, especially for hot/branchy loop analysis reports etc. Are you confident that your approach will be easily extendable for this? Similarly, being able to generally embed the profile markers in object libraries for reuse is going to be important for some people - I'd like to see more of a pl...

Dear Users, I helped to install R Commander and FactoMineR to one of my collegaues. He wanted to do an MCA. Selecting three variables and using the default settings results in only one graph, the variables representation, where he gets three points for the three variables (which is totally fine). Running the code (output of the point-and-click method) EuTop100.MCA<-EuTop100[, c("ország", &...

Hi all, I had posted about MCA support for Intel64 before. It had only a function to log the MCA error data received from hypervisor. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-09/msg00876.html I attach patches that support not only error logging but also Page Offlining function. The page where an MCA occurs will...

Dear all, I tried out the example in the help document for mca (the multiple correspondence analysis of the MASS package): farms.mca <- mca(farms, abbrev=TRUE) farms.mca plot(farms.mca) But the graphic that I get seems unfeasible to me: I cannot recognize the numbers (printed in black) because they are all overlapping and concealing each other. I don ?t...

Hi All, Thanks for you help, I have loaded the library MASS to call the mca. But when I want to do the mca, there is another problem, for example -------- -------- > leaf <- read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/wxh-c/×ÀÃæ/1.txt", + col.names=c("size","texture"),header=TRUE) > leaf size texture 1 3 3 2 2 2 3...

Greetings. I'm about to embark on my first big (to me at least!) R project, which will be to write a function to plot three-dimensional multiple correspondence analysis (mca) plots in a manner similar to scatterplot3d(). (plot.mca() plots only two dimensions, even though mca() will calculate more.) Before I do so, however, I would love to know that I'm not reinventing the wheel or any other similarly common implements. Has anyone done this before? Many thanks. -...

We are currently running sun cluster 3.2 on solaris 10u3. We are using ufs/vxvm 4.1 as our shared file systems. However, I would like to migrate to HA-NFS on ZFS. Since there is no conversion process from UFS to ZFS other than copy, I would like to migrate on my own time. To do this I am planning to add a new zpool HAStoragePlus resource to my existing HA-NFS resource group. This way I can migrate

Hi During using the R(vision 2.0.1), I meet a problem. I would like to do the Multiple Correspondence Analysis, but when I use the "< mca(lf, nf = 2, abbrev = FALSE)", the sentence "Error: couldn't find function 'mca'" will appear. So, please tell me how can I use the "mca()", thanks! Any help appreciated.......
