* [block-freq] Add BlockFrequency::scale that returns a remainder from the ↵Michael Gottesman2013-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | division and make the private scale in BlockFrequency more performant. This change is the first in a series of changes improving LLVM's Block Frequency propogation implementation to not lose probability mass in branchy code when propogating block frequency information from a basic block to its successors. This patch is a simple infrastructure improvement that does not actually modify the block frequency algorithm. The specific changes are: 1. Changes the division algorithm used when scaling block frequencies by branch probabilities to a short division algorithm. This gives us the remainder for free as well as provides a nice speed boost. When I benched the old routine and the new routine on a Sandy Bridge iMac with disabled turbo mode performing 8192 iterations on an array of length 32768, I saw ~600% increase in speed in mean/median performance. 2. Exposes a scale method that returns a remainder. This is important so we can ensure that when we scale a block frequency by some branch probability BP = N/D, the remainder from the division by D can be retrieved and propagated to other children to ensure no probability mass is lost (more to come on this). git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@194950 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

* Add a division operator to BlockFrequency.Jakob Stoklund Olesen2013-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | Allow a BlockFrequency to be divided by a non-zero BranchProbability with saturating arithmetic. This will be used to compute the frequency of a loop header given the probability of leaving the loop. Our long division algorithm already saturates on overflow, so that was a freebie. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@185184 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a branch probability. Zero is used by BlockFrequencyInfo as a special "don't know" value. It also causes a sink for frequencies as you can't ever get off a zero frequency with more multiplies. This recovers a 10% regression on MultiSource/Benchmarks/7zip. A zero frequency was propagated into an inner loop causing excessive spilling. PR16402. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@184584 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
