# This script is used to calculate two basic properties of the branch prediction
|
|
# heuristics - coverage and hitrate. Coverage is number of executions of a given
|
|
# branch matched by the heuristics and hitrate is probability that once branch is
|
|
# predicted as taken it is really taken.
|
|
#
|
|
# These values are useful to determine the quality of given heuristics. Hitrate
|
|
# may be directly used in predict.c.
|
|
#
|
|
# Usage:
|
|
# Step 1: Compile and profile your program. You need to use -fprofile-arcs
|
|
# flag to get the profiles
|
|
# Step 2: Generate log files. The information about given heuristics are
|
|
# saved into *.bp dumps. You need to pass the -db switch to the compiler as well
|
|
# as -fbranch-probabilities to get the results of profiling noted in the dumps.
|
|
# Ensure that there are no "Arc profiling: some edge counts were bad." warnings.
|
|
# Step 3: Run this script to concatenate all *.life files:
|
|
# analyze_brprob `find . -name *.life`
|
|
# the information is collected and print once all files are parsed. This
|
|
# may take a while.
|
|
# Note that the script does use bc to perform long arithmetic.
|
|
# Step 4: Read the results. Basically the following table is printed:
|
|
# (this is just an example from a very early stage of branch prediction pass
|
|
# development, so please don't take these numbers seriously)

# The heuristic called "first match" is a heuristic used by GCC branch
|
|
# prediction pass and it predicts 89.92% branches correctly.
|
|
#
|
|
# The quality of heuristics can be rated using both, coverage and hitrate
|
|
# parameters. For example "loop branch" heuristics (predicting loopback edge
|
|
# as taken) have both very high hitrate and coverage, so it is very useful.
|
|
# On the other hand, "exit block" heuristics (predicting exit edges as not
|
|
# taken) have good hitrate, but poor coverage, so only 3 branches have been
|
|
# predicted. The "loop header" heuristic has problems, since it tends to
|
|
# misspredict.
|
|
#
|
|
# The implementation of this script is somewhat brute force. My awk skills
|
|
# are limited.
