similar to: Improving the split heuristics for the Greedy Register Allocator

I have an issue that I've been wrestling with for quite some time and I'm hoping that someone with a deeper understanding of the register allocator can help me with. Namely, I am trying to teach RA to split a live range rather than allocating a CSR. I've attempted a very large number of tweaks to the costs (both existing and experimental ones that I've added). However, despite all

Hi, I've been looking at the Machine Scheduler on Power PC. I am looking only at the pre-RA machine scheduler and I am running it in the default bi-directional mode (so, both top down and bottom up queues are considered). I've come across an example where the scheduler picks a poor ordering for the instructions which results in very high register pressure which results in spills.

Hi, below is an output of "llc -march=r600 -mcpu=cayman -print-before-all -debug-only=regalloc file.shader" command from llvm3.2svn. The register coalescing pass crashes when joining vreg12:sel_z with vreg13 registers, because it tries to access the interval liveness of vreg13... which is undefined. I don't know if it's a bug of the pass, or if my backend should do something

Hi, I don't know if my llvm ir code is faulty, or if I spot a bug in the RegisterCoalescing Pass, so I'm posting my issue on the ML. Shader and print-before-all dump are given below. The interessing part is the vreg6/vreg48 reduction : before RegCoalescing, the machine code is : // BEFORE LOOP ... Some COPYs.... 400B%vreg47<def> = COPY %vreg2<kill>; R600_Reg32:%vreg47,%vreg2

Hi, I am working on a backend for a CGRA architecture with advanced predicate support (as on EPIC machines and as first used in the OpenIMPACT compiler). Until last month, the backend was working fine, but since the r161643 commit by stoklund, my backend doesn't work anymore. I think I noticed some related commits later on, and the assertion I get on the latest trunk (r164162) differs from

Thank for your help. You're right, merging vreg32 and vreg48 is perfectly fine, sorry I missed that. I "brute force" debuged by adding MachineFunction dump after each join, I think I found the issue : it's when vreg32 and vreg10 are merged. vreg10 only appears in BB#3, and the join only occurs in BB#3 apparently even if vreg32 lives in the 4 machine blocks After joining, there

Vincent, File a bug report so you can get a fix for it. Ivan On 25/10/2012 23:01, Vincent Lejeune wrote: > Thank for your help.

Hello again, I am trying to implement an optimization pass for PowerPC such that simple loops use the special "counter register" (CTR) to track the induction variable. This is helpful because, in addition to reducing register pressure, there is a combined decrement-compare-and-branch instruction BZND (there are also other related instructions). I started this process by converting the

When examining the debug output of regalloc, it seems that joining 32bits reg also joins 128 parent reg. If I look at the : %vreg34<def> = COPY %vreg6:sel_y; R600_Reg32:%vreg34 R600_Reg128:%vreg6 instructions ; it gets joined to : 928B%vreg34<def> = COPY %vreg48:sel_y;  when vreg6 and vreg48 are joined. It's right. But joining the following copy 

This is a bit premature to be considered a code review, but given how unfamiliar I am with SelectionDAG (& that I'm seeing somewhat more 'interesting' results compared to my change to FastISel) I wanted to get a bit of feedback to see if I was on the right track or had missed any obvious cases. I've attached my patch in progress (including a modification to the existing test

Cool, that worked. New patch attached...
