#8224: Excessive system time -- new IO manager problem? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rrnewton | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.7 Keywords: IO Manager, | Operating System: Linux System Time | Type of failure: Runtime Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | performance bug Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- This is an issue that came to light when testing the patches on #910. You can see some of the numbers there. Basically, recent GHC HEAD builds, running a large number of threads blocked on MVars will result in burning a lot of system time. The attached file provides a mediocre reproducer. With it, you can see that building with HEAD as of Aug 31st and running with `-RTS -N32` will result in around 200ms system time, whereas GHC 7.6.3 spends about 30ms in system time. This shows the disparity, but the result is not that egregious. A more noticeable example is on ticket #910, where when running on 31 threads, there is an 8 minutes of system time for 17 minutes of user time, and yet at one thread that system time drops to under two seconds! {{{ 1 thread: real 1m20.028s user 1m17.921s sys 0m1.768s 31 threads: real 1m27.445s user 17m0.314s sys 8m0.175s }}} It needs to be determined whether this system time is a result of the parallel compilation patches on #910, or whether it is a new problem with the runtime system, and in particular with the parallel IO manager. I am inclined to believe that compiling in parallel involves extra IO (repeatedly reading interface files?), but not eight minutes of it!! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8224> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

As I'm on Arch Linux the default Python version is 3.4. As such, rather than simply changing the shebang line to explicitly ask for version 2, I made it so that the scripts all use syntax that works properly for versions 2.7 to 3.4. I don't think I've used anything that disallows 2.6, but don't have that version available to check against. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9184> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

#8321: improve basic block layout on LLVM backend by predicting stack/heap checks ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: rwbarton | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Compiler (LLVM) | Version: 7.7 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Currently we don't give the LLVM optimizer any information about which branch of an `if` is likely to be taken. As a result, the optimizer is likely to produce a basic block layout which is not optimal. Improving the layout can improve performance through better instruction cache usage and better branch prediction by the hardware. We can control LLVM's idea of what is likely with the `llvm.expect` intrinsic function. Some obvious branches which we can predict accurately are the stack and heap checks that appear near the entry of many functions. Here's a small example of some Cmm code and the output of the LLVM optimizer/compiler. {{{ block_c2Lc_entry() // [R1, R2] { info_tbl: [(c2Lc, label: block_c2Lc_info rep:StackRep [])] stack_info: arg_space: 0 updfr_space: Nothing } {offset c2Lc: Hp = Hp + 24; if (Hp > HpLim) goto c2Lm; else goto c2Ll; c2Lm: HpAlloc = 24; R2 = R2; R1 = R1; call stg_gc_pp(R2, R1) args: 8, res: 8, upd: 24; c2Ll: I64[Hp - 16] = :_con_info; P64[Hp - 8] = R1; P64[Hp] = R2; R1 = Hp - 14; Sp = Sp + 8; call (P64[Sp])(R1) args: 24, res: 0, upd: 24; } }] }}} {{{ 00000000000002b8 <c2Lc_info>: 2b8: 4c 89 e0 mov %r12,%rax 2bb: 4c 8d 60 18 lea 0x18(%rax),%r12 2bf: 4d 3b a5 18 01 00 00 cmp 0x118(%r13),%r12 2c6: 76 10 jbe 2d8 <c2Lc_info+0x20> 2c8: 49 c7 85 48 01 00 00 movq $0x18,0x148(%r13) 2cf: 18 00 00 00 2d3: e9 00 00 00 00 jmpq 2d8 <c2Lc_info+0x20> 2d4: R_X86_64_PC32 stg_gc_pp+0xfffffffffffffffc 2d8: 48 c7 40 08 00 00 00 movq $0x0,0x8(%rax) 2df: 00 2dc: R_X86_64_32S ghczmprim_GHCziTypes_ZC_con_info 2e0: 48 89 58 10 mov %rbx,0x10(%rax) 2e4: 4c 89 70 18 mov %r14,0x18(%rax) 2e8: 48 8b 45 08 mov 0x8(%rbp),%rax 2ec: 48 83 c5 08 add $0x8,%rbp 2f0: 49 8d 5c 24 f2 lea -0xe(%r12),%rbx 2f5: ff e0 jmpq *%rax 2f7: 90 nop }}} It would likely be better to invert the branch at `2c6` to a `ja`, so that the common case is adjacent to the function entry, and when `llvm.expect` is used on the condition in the branch, the LLVM optimizer does produce this alternate layout. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8321> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
