nir_opt_algebraic is currently one of the most expensive NIR passes,
because of the many different patterns we've added over the years. Even
though patterns are already sorted by opcode, there are still way too
many patterns for common opcodes like bcsel and fadd, which means that
many patterns are tried but only a few actually match. One way to fix
this is to add a pre-pass over the code that scans it using an automaton
constructed beforehand, similar to the automatons produced by lex and
yacc for parsing source code. This automaton has to walk the SSA graph
and recognize possible pattern matches.
It turns out that the theory to do this is quite mature already, having
been developed for instruction selection as well as other non-compiler
things. I followed the presentation in the dissertation cited in the
code, "Tree algorithms: Two Taxonomies and a Toolkit," trying to keep
the naming similar. To create the automaton, we have to perform
something like the classical NFA to DFA subset construction used by lex,
but it turns out that actually computing the transition table for all
possible states would be way too expensive, with the dissertation
reporting times of almost half an hour for an example of size similar to
nir_opt_algebraic. Instead, we adopt one of the "filter" approaches
explained in the dissertation, which trade much faster table generation
and table size for a few more table lookups per instruction at runtime.
I chose the filter which resulted the fastest table generation time,
with medium table size. Right now, the table generation takes around .5
seconds, despite being implemented in pure Python, which I think is good
enough. Based on the numbers in the dissertation, the other choice might
make table compilation time 25x slower to get 4x smaller table size, but
I don't think that's worth it. As of now, we get the following binary
size before and after this patch:
text data bss dec hex filename
11979455 464720 730864 13175039 c908ff before i965_dri.so
text data bss dec hex filename
12037835 616244 791792 13445871 cd2aef after i965_dri.so
There are a number of places where I've simplified the automaton by
getting rid of details in the LHS patterns rather than complicate things
to deal with them. For example, right now the automaton doesn't
distinguish between constants with different values. This means that it
isn't as precise as it could be, but the decrease in compile time is
still worth it -- these are the compilation time numbers for a shader-db
run with my (admittedly old) database on Intel skylake:
Difference at 95.0% confidence
-42.3485 +/- 1.375
-7.20383% +/- 0.229926%
(Student's t, pooled s = 1.69843)
We can always experiment with making it more precise later.

`Mesa <https://mesa3d.org>`_ - The 3D Graphics Library ====================================================== Source ------ This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa. Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported. Build & install --------------- You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html <https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use Meson (`docs/meson.html <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_): .. code-block:: sh $ mkdir build $ cd build $ meson .. $ sudo ninja install Support ------- Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel <irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if necessary. Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might take a while before someone qualified sees your question. To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your question, check out `Who's Who on IRC <https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_. The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org <https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_ Bug reports ----------- If you think something isn't working properly, please file a bug report (`docs/bugs.html <https://mesa3d.org/bugs.html>`_).
