Hi Duncan, >> New PBQP solver. > > nice! Any chance of a quick summary of the state of the pbqp allocator and > who might want to use it? Sure. Here's an update, broken into three handy sections: Summary for LLVM users: --- PBQP is a heavyweight register allocator. A quick, not-at-all scientific look at SPEC2006 shows that compiling with -regalloc=pbqp increased runtime

Hi Prasad, The comments at the beginning of RegAllocPBQP.cpp list the two most relevant papers for PBQP register allocation. // (1) Hames, L. and Scholz, B. 2006. Nearly optimal register allocation with // PBQP. In Proceedings of the 7th Joint Modular Languages Conference // (JMLC'06). LNCS, vol. 4228.

Hi All, I've just committed some changes to the PBQP allocator which are designed to make it easier to implement custom register allocation constraints. This is a quick summary of those changes, and of the status of the PBQP allocator in general. First a quick bit of background: The PBQP allocator is based on ideas described in [1]. I implemented this algorithm (with the improved heuristic

Hello, we are currently working on my project that aims at improving the register allocation scheme by identifying if the interference graphs are chordal or not. we are working on the llvm compiler .we are forcing the compiler to use PBQP register allocation scheme by an option of ' ' regalloc=pbqp ' during the execution of prgm. we have been succesfull in accessing the interference

Hi, LLVM already uses dynamic-programming based optimal pattern matching selectors for some of the target architectures. But as far as I know, the code is first converted out of the SSA form, before the selection process takes place. The same approach is used by many other compilers. But there is an article from Erik Eckstein, where a different method is proposed. In the described approach, the

Hi Jakob, Yes. I have references. For example, from the top of my head I would name the following papers: 1)  A Generalized Algorithm for Graph-Coloring Register Allocation by Michael D. Smith, Norman Ramsey and Glenn Holloway      http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~nr/pubs/gcra-abstract.html 2) Register allocation by puzzle solving by Fernando Magno Quintão Pereira, Jens Palsberg    

Hi Sachin, Yes. Bernhard Scholz and I have just discussed a fix for this. I hope to commit it in the next few days. I will let you know as soon as it goes in to the mainline. Regards, Lang.

Hi Lang, I'm surprised about the fact that you omit R1/R2 reductions in some cases. Can you give a more detailed description of the bug (e.g. a PBQP dump)?

Unfortunately relying on PBQP's coalescing alone is not an option - the graphs coming out of PHI elimination are very large and without aggressive coalescing to bring the size

Hi Sachin, llvm-dev, I've just committed a new PBQP solver which, among other things, should take care of this bug. Please let me know how it works out for you. Cheers, Lang.

Thanks Lang! I think we can use linear scan as work around for short term. Thanks for your help.

This looks like a bug in the PBQP solver. I'm currently investigating. Cheers, Lang.

The simple C code on which im running the allocator is attached. And these are the set of commands. I dont understand ..guess i might be doing something very silly. Please help *Commands:* clang -emit-llvm -c test.c -o test.bc opt -mem2reg test.bc -o testssa.bc llc -regalloc=pbqp testssa.bc On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 7:59 AM, David Blaikie <dblaikie at gmail.com> wrote: > > > >

Hi Sachin, Confirmed: This is being caused by a subtle issue in the heuristic PBQP solver. Specifically: R1/R2 reductions as currently implemented can, on rare occasions, lead to the heuristic solver failing to find a finite cost solution, even though one exists. The infinite cost solution will always be in violation of some rule of register allocation (failing to handle an interference, or

Hello Sir, Im trying to test run pbqp register allocator for small C programs. by llc -regalloc=pbqp -debug <bitcode of the file> It is giving me segmentation fault for even very simple programs having loops or if statements.

Hi Lang, Thanks for your inputs on the problem. I was just curious to know if you got any opportunity to work on the solution for this.

Hi, Please see the two ".ll' files attached. Command line used llc -march=pic16 -pre-RA-sched=list-burr -regalloc=pbqp new.obc The above test case crashes only when I use the combination of list-burr scheduler and pbqp register allocator. If any of them (scheduler or register allocator) is replaced with some alternate then I don't see the crash. I could not figure
