All parallelism can be turned off using --predictable, or --noparallel-compaction.
This patch completely parallelizes
- semispace copy: from space -> to space (within newspace)
- newspace evacuation: newspace -> oldspace
- oldspace compaction: oldspace -> oldspace
Previously newspace has been handled sequentially (semispace copy, newspace
evacuation) before compacting oldspace in parallel. However, on a high level
there are no dependencies between those two actions, hence we parallelize them
altogether. We base the number of evacuation tasks on the overall set of
to-be-processed pages (newspace + oldspace compaction pages).
Some low-level details:
- The hard cap on number of tasks has been lifted
- We cache store buffer entries locally before merging them back into the global
StoreBuffer in a finalization phase.
- We cache AllocationSite operations locally before merging them back into the
global pretenuring storage in a finalization phase.
- AllocationSite might be compacted while they would be needed for newspace
evacuation. To mitigate any problems we defer checking allocation sites for
newspace till merging locally buffered data.
