| /// \brief |
| /// |
| /// This file implements a timeline view for the llvm-mca tool. |
| /// |
| /// Class TimelineView observes events generated by the pipeline. For every |
| /// instruction executed by the pipeline, it stores information related to |
| /// state transition. It then plots that information in the form of a table |
| /// as reported by the example below: |
| /// |
| /// Timeline view: |
| /// 0123456 |
| /// Index 0123456789 |
| /// |
| /// [0,0] DeER . . .. vmovshdup %xmm0, %xmm1 |
| /// [0,1] DeER . . .. vpermilpd $1, %xmm0, %xmm2 |
| /// [0,2] .DeER. . .. vpermilps $231, %xmm0, %xmm5 |
| /// [0,3] .DeeeER . .. vaddss %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm3 |
| /// [0,4] . D==eeeER. .. vaddss %xmm3, %xmm2, %xmm4 |
| /// [0,5] . D=====eeeER .. vaddss %xmm4, %xmm5, %xmm6 |
| /// |
| /// [1,0] . DeE------R .. vmovshdup %xmm0, %xmm1 |
| /// [1,1] . DeE------R .. vpermilpd $1, %xmm0, %xmm2 |
| /// [1,2] . DeE-----R .. vpermilps $231, %xmm0, %xmm5 |
| /// [1,3] . D=eeeE--R .. vaddss %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm3 |
| /// [1,4] . D===eeeER .. vaddss %xmm3, %xmm2, %xmm4 |
| /// [1,5] . D======eeeER vaddss %xmm4, %xmm5, %xmm6 |
| /// |
| /// There is an entry for every instruction in the input assembly sequence. |
| /// The first field is a pair of numbers obtained from the instruction index. |
| /// The first element of the pair is the iteration index, while the second |
| /// element of the pair is a sequence number (i.e. a position in the assembly |
| /// sequence). |
| /// The second field of the table is the actual timeline information; each |
| /// column is the information related to a specific cycle of execution. |
| /// The timeline of an instruction is described by a sequence of character |
| /// where each character represents the instruction state at a specific cycle. |
| /// |
| /// Possible instruction states are: |
| /// D: Instruction Dispatched |
| /// e: Instruction Executing |
| /// E: Instruction Executed (write-back stage) |
| /// R: Instruction retired |
| /// =: Instruction waiting in the Scheduler's queue |
| /// -: Instruction executed, waiting to retire in order. |
| /// |
| /// dots ('.') and empty spaces are cycles where the instruction is not |
| /// in-flight. |
| /// |
| /// The last column is the assembly instruction associated to the entry. |
| /// |
| /// Based on the timeline view information from the example, instruction 0 |
| /// at iteration 0 was dispatched at cycle 0, and was retired at cycle 3. |
| /// Instruction [0,1] was also dispatched at cycle 0, and it retired at |
| /// the same cycle than instruction [0,0]. |
| /// Instruction [0,4] has been dispatched at cycle 2. However, it had to |
| /// wait for two cycles before being issued. That is because operands |
| /// became ready only at cycle 5. |
| /// |
| /// This view helps further understanding bottlenecks and the impact of |
| /// resource pressure on the code. |
| /// |
| /// To better understand why instructions had to wait for multiple cycles in |
| /// the scheduler's queue, class TimelineView also reports extra timing info |
| /// in another table named "Average Wait times" (see example below). |
| /// |
| /// |
| /// Average Wait times (based on the timeline view): |
| /// [0]: Executions |
| /// [1]: Average time spent waiting in a scheduler's queue |
| /// [2]: Average time spent waiting in a scheduler's queue while ready |
| /// [3]: Average time elapsed from WB until retire stage |
| /// |
| /// [0] [1] [2] [3] |
| /// 0. 2 1.0 1.0 3.0 vmovshdup %xmm0, %xmm1 |
| /// 1. 2 1.0 1.0 3.0 vpermilpd $1, %xmm0, %xmm2 |
| /// 2. 2 1.0 1.0 2.5 vpermilps $231, %xmm0, %xmm5 |
| /// 3. 2 1.5 0.5 1.0 vaddss %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm3 |
| /// 4. 2 3.5 0.0 0.0 vaddss %xmm3, %xmm2, %xmm4 |
| /// 5. 2 6.5 0.0 0.0 vaddss %xmm4, %xmm5, %xmm6 |
| /// |
| /// By comparing column [2] with column [1], we get an idea about how many |
| /// cycles were spent in the scheduler's queue due to data dependencies. |
| /// |
| /// In this example, instruction 5 spent an average of ~6 cycles in the |
| /// scheduler's queue. As soon as operands became ready, the instruction |
| /// was immediately issued to the pipeline(s). |
| /// That is expected because instruction 5 cannot transition to the "ready" |
| /// state until %xmm4 is written by instruction 4. |
