Summary:
SpeculativeExecution enables a series straight line optimizations (such
as SLSR and NaryReassociate) on conditional code. For example,
if (...)
... b * s ...
if (...)
... (b + 1) * s ...
speculative execution can hoist b * s and (b + 1) * s from then-blocks,
so that we have
... b * s ...
if (...)
...
... (b + 1) * s ...
if (...)
...
Then, SLSR can rewrite (b + 1) * s to (b * s + s) because after
speculative execution b * s dominates (b + 1) * s.
The performance impact of this change is significant. It speeds up the
benchmarks running EigenFloatContractionKernelInternal16x16
(ba68f42fa6/unsupported/Eigen/CXX11/src/Tensor/TensorContractionCuda.h (cl-526))
by roughly 2%. Some internal benchmarks that have the above code pattern
are improved by up to 40%. No significant slowdowns are observed on
Eigen CUDA microbenchmarks.
