Arithmetic tests needs to be updated for advanced compiler optimization
Hi,
I was trying to build Linux Benchmarks with latest Intel C++ Compiler.
When I used -ipo (inter-procedural optimization) option, arithmetic test (arith.c) failed on execution.

The problem is Intel compiler's advanced optimization option (-ipo) optimizes much more than expected and this results in elimination of some part of code.
/-------------------------------------------------
++iter;
/* the loop calls a function to insure that something is done
the results of the function are fed back in (just so they
they won't be thrown away. A loop with
unused assignments may get optimized out of existence */
result = dumb_stuff(result);
/--------------------------------------------------------

This part gets eliminated becuase of IPO.

Steps to reproduce:
$icc -o ./pgms/arithoh -DTIME -O3 -xW -ipo -static -unroll -Darithoh ./src/arith.c

$./pgms/arithoh 1
0 loops

and this results in divide by zero error.

Regards,
CP

Why are you using the -ipo compiler flag?

Hi Neo,
I have seen, in this forum, that developers have used advanaced gcc optimization options for benchmarking.
I just want to compare the performance of gcc and Intel compiler and thats why trying to use best available optimization options for Intel compiler i.e -ipo (PGO can also be used).

If this doesnt answer your question than please let me know why one should not be allowed to use whatever options available with a compiler for these benchmarks?

Regards,
CP

This is a point that has been long debated.... i.e. should be benchmark be changed to reflect new compiler options or left as they are so they relate to all the benchmarks that were ran from the past.

I have always wanted to have the entire benchmark history/ tradition over time and have not been a fan of trying to optimize the marks with compiler flags that were not available in the past. The results of the marks will not be historically related to the beginning..... alpha-to-omega comparisons.


There have many many others who strongly dissagee and want to change them on the continuing basis. This 'tension' causes problems in the overall BM community, taking the fun out of it (and one of the reasons I stopped running the Linux BMs many years ago.)
