It iterates over each basic block, attempting to pair + compatible instructions, repeating this process until no additional + pairs are selected for vectorization. When the outputs of some pair + of compatible instructions are used as inputs by some other pair of + compatible instructions, those pairs are part of a potential + vectorization chain. Instruction pairs are only fused into vector + instructions when they are part of a chain longer than some + threshold length. Moreover, the pass attempts to find the best + possible chain for each pair of compatible instructions. These + heuristics are intended to prevent vectorization in cases where + it would not yield a performance increase of the resulting code. + </p> +</div> + +<!-------------------------------------------------------------------------- --> +<h3> <a name="block-placement">-block-placement: Profile Guided Basic Block Placement</a> </h3> <div> |
