According to my profiling of Qt Creator, qHash and the SHA-1 calculation are the hottest spots remaining in QtCore. The current qHash function is not really vectorizable. We could come up with a different algorithm that is more SIMD-friendly, but since we have the CRC32 instruction that can read 32- and 64-bit entities, we're set. This commit also updates the benchmark for QHash and benchmarks both the hashing function itself and the QHash class. The updated benchmarks for the CRC32 on my machine shows that the hashing function is *always* improved, but the hashing isn't always. In particular, the current algorithm is better for the "numbers" case, for which the data sample differs in very few bits. The new code is 33% slower for that particular case. On average, the improvement (including the "numbers" case) is: compared to qHash only QHash Qt 5.0 function 2.54x 1.06x Qt 4.x function 4.34x 1.34x Java function 2.71x 1.11x Test machine: Sandybridge Core i7-2620M @ 2.66 GHz with turbo disabled for the benchmarks Change-Id: Ia80b98c0e20d785816f7a7f6ddf40b4b302c7297 Reviewed-by: Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@digia.com> Reviewed-by: Lars Knoll <lars.knoll@digia.com> Reviewed-by: Thiago Macieira <thiago.macieira@intel.com> |

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the test environment that these tests are written for. Linux X11: * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections. * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop. * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus and activation. * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not wait for the user to click the window.
