From c3c1aa5aeb921caa2ec18c2320ceb94854e0f47c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francisco Jerez Date: Thu, 7 Sep 2017 00:26:03 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] intel/fs: Restrict live intervals to the subset possibly reachable from any definition. Currently the liveness analysis pass would extend a live interval up to the top of the program when no unconditional and complete definition of the variable is found that dominates all of its uses. This can lead to a serious performance problem in shaders containing many partial writes, like scalar arithmetic, FP64 and soon FP16 operations. The number of oversize live intervals in such workloads can cause the compilation time of the shader to explode because of the worse than quadratic behavior of the register allocator and scheduler when running out of registers, and it can also cause the running time of the shader to explode due to the amount of spilling it leads to, which is orders of magnitude slower than GRF memory. This patch fixes it by computing the intersection of our current live intervals with the subset of the program that can possibly be reached from any definition of the variable. Extending the storage allocation of the variable beyond that is pretty useless because its value is guaranteed to be undefined at a point that cannot be reached from any definition. According to Jason, this improves performance of the subgroup Vulkan CTS tests significantly (e.g. the runtime of the dvec4 broadcast test improves by nearly 50x). No significant change in the running time of shader-db (with 5% statistical significance). shader-db results on IVB: total cycles in shared programs: 61108780 -> 60932856 (-0.29%) cycles in affected programs: 16335482 -> 16159558 (-1.08%) helped: 5121 HURT: 4347 total spills in shared programs: 1309 -> 1288 (-1.60%) spills in affected programs: 249 -> 228 (-8.43%) helped: 3 HURT: 0 total fills in shared programs: 1652 -> 1597 (-3.33%) fills in affected programs: 262 -> 207 (-20.99%) helped: 4 HURT: 0 LOST: 2 GAINED: 209 shader-db results on BDW: total cycles in shared programs: 67617262 -> 67361220 (-0.38%) cycles in affected programs: 23397142 -> 23141100 (-1.09%) helped: 8045 HURT: 6488 total spills in shared programs: 1456 -> 1252 (-14.01%) spills in affected programs: 465 -> 261 (-43.87%) helped: 3 HURT: 0 total fills in shared programs: 1720 -> 1465 (-14.83%) fills in affected programs: 471 -> 216 (-54.14%) helped: 4 HURT: 0 LOST: 2 GAINED: 162 shader-db results on SKL: total cycles in shared programs: 65436248 -> 65245186 (-0.29%) cycles in affected programs: 22560936 -> 22369874 (-0.85%) helped: 8457 HURT: 6247 total spills in shared programs: 437 -> 437 (0.00%) spills in affected programs: 0 -> 0 helped: 0 HURT: 0 total fills in shared programs: 870 -> 854 (-1.84%) fills in affected programs: 16 -> 0 helped: 1 HURT: 0 LOST: 0 GAINED: 107 Reviewed-by: Jason Ekstrand --- src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.cpp | 34 +++++++++++++++++--- src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.h | 12 +++++++ 2 files changed, 42 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.cpp b/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.cpp index c449672a519..059f076fa51 100644 --- a/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.cpp +++ b/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.cpp @@ -83,9 +83,11 @@ fs_live_variables::setup_one_write(struct block_data *bd, fs_inst *inst, /* The def[] bitset marks when an initialization in a block completely * screens off previous updates of that variable (VGRF channel). */ - if (inst->dst.file == VGRF && !inst->is_partial_write()) { - if (!BITSET_TEST(bd->use, var)) + if (inst->dst.file == VGRF) { + if (!inst->is_partial_write() && !BITSET_TEST(bd->use, var)) BITSET_SET(bd->def, var); + + BITSET_SET(bd->defout, var); } } @@ -199,6 +201,28 @@ fs_live_variables::compute_live_variables() } } } + + /* Propagate defin and defout down the CFG to calculate the union of live + * variables potentially defined along any possible control flow path. + */ + do { + cont = false; + + foreach_block (block, cfg) { + const struct block_data *bd = &block_data[block->num]; + + foreach_list_typed(bblock_link, child_link, link, &block->children) { + struct block_data *child_bd = &block_data[child_link->block->num]; + + for (int i = 0; i < bitset_words; i++) { + const BITSET_WORD new_def = bd->defout[i] & ~child_bd->defin[i]; + child_bd->defin[i] |= new_def; + child_bd->defout[i] |= new_def; + cont |= new_def; + } + } + } + } while (cont); } /** @@ -212,12 +236,12 @@ fs_live_variables::compute_start_end() struct block_data *bd = &block_data[block->num]; for (int i = 0; i < num_vars; i++) { - if (BITSET_TEST(bd->livein, i)) { + if (BITSET_TEST(bd->livein, i) && BITSET_TEST(bd->defin, i)) { start[i] = MIN2(start[i], block->start_ip); end[i] = MAX2(end[i], block->start_ip); } - if (BITSET_TEST(bd->liveout, i)) { + if (BITSET_TEST(bd->liveout, i) && BITSET_TEST(bd->defout, i)) { start[i] = MIN2(start[i], block->end_ip); end[i] = MAX2(end[i], block->end_ip); } @@ -260,6 +284,8 @@ fs_live_variables::fs_live_variables(fs_visitor *v, const cfg_t *cfg) block_data[i].use = rzalloc_array(mem_ctx, BITSET_WORD, bitset_words); block_data[i].livein = rzalloc_array(mem_ctx, BITSET_WORD, bitset_words); block_data[i].liveout = rzalloc_array(mem_ctx, BITSET_WORD, bitset_words); + block_data[i].defin = rzalloc_array(mem_ctx, BITSET_WORD, bitset_words); + block_data[i].defout = rzalloc_array(mem_ctx, BITSET_WORD, bitset_words); block_data[i].flag_def[0] = 0; block_data[i].flag_use[0] = 0; diff --git a/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.h b/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.h index d2d5898ed1c..9e95e443170 100644 --- a/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.h +++ b/src/intel/compiler/brw_fs_live_variables.h @@ -55,6 +55,18 @@ struct block_data { /** Which defs reach the exit point of the block. */ BITSET_WORD *liveout; + /** + * Variables such that the entry point of the block may be reached from any + * of their definitions. + */ + BITSET_WORD *defin; + + /** + * Variables such that the exit point of the block may be reached from any + * of their definitions. + */ + BITSET_WORD *defout; + BITSET_WORD flag_def[1]; BITSET_WORD flag_use[1]; BITSET_WORD flag_livein[1]; -- 2.30.2
