# 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.def.
|
|
#
|
|
# Usage:
|
|
# Step 1: Compile and profile your program. You need to use -fprofile-generate
|
|
# flag to get the profiles.
|
|
# Step 2: Make a reference run of the intrumented application.
|
|
# Step 3: Compile the program with collected profile and dump IPA profiles
|
|
# (-fprofile-use -fdump-ipa-profile-details)
|
|
# Step 4: Collect all generated dump files:
|
|
# find . -name '*.profile' | xargs cat > dump_file
|
|
# Step 5: Run the script:
|
|
# ./analyze_brprob.py dump_file
|
|
# and read results. Basically the following table is printed:
|
|
#
|
|
# HEURISTICS BRANCHES (REL) HITRATE COVERAGE (REL)
|
|
# early return (on trees) 3 0.2% 35.83% / 93.64% 66360 0.0%

# The heuristics called "first match" is a heuristics used by GCC branch
|
|
# prediction pass and it predicts 55.2% branches correctly. As you can,
|
|
# the heuristics has very good covertage (69.05%). On the other hand,
|
|
# "opcode values nonequal (on trees)" heuristics has good hirate, but poor
|

# coverage.
