#
# 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)

#
# 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.
