Thanks Revital; it may actually be better to include the scheduling of the
branch even where the doloop pattern is simple, as it rightfully accounts
for its resources.
> OK for mainline?
Yes. I have only the following minor comments:
+/* Bump the SCHED_TIMEs of all nodes by AMOUNT. Set the values of
+ SCHED_ROW and SCHED_STAGE. */
please clarify that, e.g., instruction scheduled on cycle AMOUNT will move
to cycle zero.
+ /* The calculation of stage count is done adding the number
+ of stages before cycle zero and after cycle zero. */
+ sc_until_cycle_zero = CALC_STAGE_COUNT (-1, new_min_cycle, ii);
+
+ if (SCHED_TIME (u) < 0)
+ {
+ stage = CALC_STAGE_COUNT (-1, SCHED_TIME (u), ii);
+ SCHED_STAGE (u) = sc_until_cycle_zero - stage;
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ stage = CALC_STAGE_COUNT (SCHED_TIME (u), 0, ii);
+ SCHED_STAGE (u) = sc_until_cycle_zero + stage - 1;
+ }
shouldn't normalized_time be used here instead of SCHED_TIME (u)?
In any case, an alternative way of calculating the stage count of u can be
(iinm):
CALC_STAGE_COUNT (normalized_time, new_zero_kelvin, ii);
where
new_zero_kelvin = new_min_cycle - SMODULO (new_min_cycle, ii);
As you've pointed out, this change may effect code size (by increasing the
stage count) and/or performance (by increasing the ii, although the branch
might not have had an available slot originally). So it may be interesting
to share comparative measurements when available.
