Set the transform bar at 2 divisions because the fastest current x86 FP divider circuit is in SandyBridge / Haswell at 10 cycle latency (best case) relative to a 5 cycle multiplier. So that's the worst case for this transform (no latency win), but multiplies are obviously pipelined while divisions are not, so there's still a big throughput win which we would expect to show up in typical FP code. These are the sequences I'm comparing: divss %xmm2, %xmm0 mulss %xmm1, %xmm0 divss %xmm2, %xmm0 Becomes: movss LCPI0_0(%rip), %xmm3 ## xmm3 = mem[0],zero,zero,zero divss %xmm2, %xmm3 mulss %xmm3, %xmm0 mulss %xmm1, %xmm0 mulss %xmm3, %xmm0 [Ignore for the moment that we don't optimize the chain of 3 multiplies into 2 independent fmuls followed by 1 dependent fmul...this is the DAG version of: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21768 ...if we fix that, then the transform becomes even more profitable on all targets.] Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D8941 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@235012 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
