memcpy regression on A9 - TCWG-390 [6/10]
* cortex-strings benchmarks suggest this isn't just an outlier, nor
entirely about preload
* Quick test on A15 suggests a similar (less severe) issue
* Got cortex-strings benchmarks more-or-less running via lava
memset performance improvement - TCWG-156 [1/10]
* GNU benchtests not as repeatable as hoped
lowlevellock performance bugs - TCWG-435 [1/10]
* Converted a bunch of inline functions into macros for coldfire
Meetings/mail/etc [2/10]
=Plan=
Carry on generating memcpy data, develop some hypotheses
Bugfix lava-ization of cortex-strings benchmarks as & when
Explore repeatability of cortex-strings benchmark
See how much quicker I can make cortex-strings benchmark without
compromising repeatability
Try to get lowlevellock.h committed for at least arm/aarch64
== Progress ==
* TCWG-418 : Bug fix Reload spill failure (3/10)
Bench marked coremark – no degradations with patch.
CPU2000 runs – Workedon running them as native in chromebook.
Issues with space.
* TCWG-181 : LTO enablement (3/10)
GCC 4.9 FSF no ICE . Linaro 14.07 release has ICE.
GIT bisect experiments on trunk on Aarch64 hardware.
* Misc: (2/10)
- Various meetings .
- PGO bootstrap runs on Aarch64 hardware - pass.
* AMD team out on 19th (2/10).
== Next ==
* GIT bisect experiments on LTO bootstrap.
* Continue Benchmark reload spill failure fix
* Explore on Large memory model support for aarch64
* Cbuildv2 release packaging on native.
== Progress ==
* Benchmarking and regression testing (TCWG-468) (3/10)
- More aarch64 spec2k benchmarking of patches and against fsf 4.9 release
- Spec2k a15 benchmarking on chromebook
* Zero/sign extension elimination (TCWG-15) (5/10)
- Fixed regressions found and broke the patch into two
- Looking at improving zero/sign extension elimination as it is not
happening for one test-case now
- Plan to benchmark the changes and post for review once this is done.
* LP spec2k regression bugs (2/10)
- #1320965 : Cant reproduce ICE but goes into infinite loop with
-floop-interchange at -O3; Looking into it
-#1330725 : Invalid as -fno-strict-overflow is needed for 254.gap.
== Plan ==
* Benchmarking and spec2k bugs.
* Upstream zero/sign extension elimination activities.
== Issues ==
* None.
== Progress ==
* loop2-invariant heuristics tuning (TCWG-469, 2/10). Two patches were
committed @r211818 and r211885. Another two are in review.
* Test the rebased ccmp patches (TCWG-488, 2/10).
* Send out a patch to enhance cprop pass by checking rtx_cost. Collect
benchmark results and update the patch according to comments
(TCWG-486, 6/10).
== Plans ==
* Ping pending patches.
* Continue on patches to optimize constant in loop.
== Progress ==
* GCC trunk cross-validation (CARD-647) (5/10)
- fixes to email-driven robot, now generating html reports
- trouble shooting transcient problems with the compute farm
- added a57+crypto FPU configuration, still under test
- added libstdc++ reports
* AArch64 libsanitizer (TCWG-58)
- Started looking at results. Different errors when running on HW
and under QEMU (where it goes in an infinite loop)
* Misc (meetings, conf-calls, ...) 3/10
- 4.7-2014.06 branch merge completed.
- 4.9 backports reviews
- trouble shooting connexion to tcwgXXX boards
== Next ==
* GCC cross-validation
- more fixes and enhancements
- continue testing of the email robot
* Neon intrinsic tests:
- discuss with upstream
* AArch64 libsanitizer:
- investigate generated code and cause for infinite loop
* Make 4.7-2014.06 final release
== Progress ==
* Automation Framework (CARD-1378 8/10)
- Setting up D01s
- Wasting time on Pandas
- Setting up serial console
- Preparing Chromebook2s
- Testing remote gcc check
* Background (2/10)
- Code review, meetings, discussions, etc.
== Plan ==
* help Guodong with D01 stabilisation
* have a look at compiler-rt autoconf build for buildbots
* start looking at the LLVM + GCC presentation
* probably more lab stuff...
