The powerpc isnan optimizations are not really a gain:
- GCC will call libm iff -fsignaling-nans is used. This usage pattern
is usually not performance oriented and for such calls PLT overhead
should dominate execution time.
- The power5, power6, and power6x are just micro-optimization to
improve the Load-Hit-Store hazards from floating-point to general
register transfer, and current GCC already has support to minimize
it by inserting either extra nops or group dispatch instructions.
- The power7 uses ftdiv to optimize for some input patterns, but at
cost of others. Comparing against generic C implementation built
for powerpc-linux-gnu-power4 (which uses the hp-timing support on
benchtests):
- Generic sysdeps/ieee754 implementation:
"isnan": {
"": {
"duration": 4.98415e+09,
"iterations": 2.34516e+09,
"max": 45.925,
"min": 2.052,
"mean": 2.12529
},
"INF": {
"duration": 4.74057e+09,
"iterations": 1.69761e+09,
"max": 91.01,
"min": 2.052,
"mean": 2.79249
},
"NAN": {
"duration": 4.74071e+09,
"iterations": 1.68768e+09,
"max": 282.343,
"min": 2.052,
"mean": 2.809
}
}
- power7 optimized one:
$ ./testrun.sh benchtests/bench-isnan
"isnan": {
"": {
"duration": 4.96842e+09,
"iterations": 2.56297e+09,
"max": 50.048,
"min": 1.872,
"mean": 1.93854
},
"INF": {
"duration": 4.76648e+09,
"iterations": 1.54213e+09,
"max": 373.408,
"min": 2.661,
"mean": 3.09084
},
"NAN": {
"duration": 4.76845e+09,
"iterations": 1.54515e+09,
"max": 51.016,
"min": 2.736,
"mean": 3.08607
}
}
So it basically optimizes marginally for normal numbers while
increasing the latency for other kind of FP.
- The generic implementation requires getting the floating point
status, disable the invalid operation bit, and restore the
floating-point status. Each operation is costly and requires
flushing the FP pipeline.
Using the same scenarion for the previous analysis:
"isnan": {
"": {
"duration": 5.08284e+09,
"iterations": 6.2898e+08,
"max": 41.844,
"min": 8.057,
"mean": 8.08108
},
"INF": {
"duration": 4.97904e+09,
"iterations": 6.16176e+08,
"max": 39.661,
"min": 8.057,
"mean": 8.08055
},
"NAN": {
"duration": 4.98695e+09,
"iterations": 5.95866e+08,
"max": 29.728,
"min": 8.345,
"mean": 8.36925
}
}
- The power8 implementation is just the generic implementation using
ISA 2.07 mfvsrd instruction (which GCC uses for generic implementation).
So generic implementation is the best option for powerpc64le.
