# Auto-vectorization Report
|
|
|
|
This report tool is used to get a human-friendly compiler output of the auto-vectorization process. It is intended for developers to help them to investigate the obstacles that compiler faced during auto-vectorization.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```--check-vectorization``` option should be added to the **release** build to be able to get the auto-vectorization report
|
|
```./buildnativeoperations.sh -a native -j 28 --check-vectorization```
|
|
it will output ```vecmiss.html``` inside blasbuild/cpu folder.
|
|
|
|
## Report Format
|
|
Each filename contains info about optimization attempts for the source code lines.
|
|
Each line number is also expandable (⇲) and contains distinct failure notes.
|
|
It is possible to click on the line number to see source code
|
|
|
|
| file name | total successful attempts | total failed attempts | ⇲ |
|
|
|---|---|---|--|
|
|
| line number | successful attempts | failed attempts | ⇲ |
|
|
|- failure reasons |
|
|
| line number | successful attempts | failed attempts |⇲ |
|
|
|
|
##### Requirements
|
|
- GCC (Currently, only GCC is supported)
|
|
- python3
|
|
|
|
### Detailed report with `-fsave-optimization-record` option:
|
|
If you want to get more detailed information (for now it reports the functions of failures) you should use new version of the toolchain (GCC > 9). As the new version of GCC compilers have `-fsave-optimization-record` option.
|
|
`buildnativeoperations.sh` using CMake will detect it and switch to the more detailed version.
|
|
Please, note that this option is still experimental and so the compiler can fail to output some json.gz file with error.
|
|
On that case try to exclude those files from the build.
|
|
And also the internal structure of the `-fsave-optimization-record` json.gz can be changed in future.
|
|
|
|
It outputs two files **vecmiss_fsave.html** and **vecmiss_fsave.html.js**. So to see report details you need to enable javascript on browser if it was disabled.
|
|
|
|
##### Requirements for the Detailed report
|
|
- GCC version > 9
|
|
- python3
|
|
- Cython (python3)
|
|
- json (python3)
|
|
- gzip (python3)
|
|
- c++filt
|
|
|
|
Internally, we are using Cython to speed up json.gz file processing (bigGzipJson.pyx). Because json.gz files can take big memory in raw when loaded in whole.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use bigGzipJson outside `buildnativeoperations.sh` and CMake then you should compile it manually using this command in auto_vectorization folder:
|
|
`python3 cython_setup.py build_ext --inplace`
|
|
|
|
json.gz files could be processed outside of `buildnativeoperations.sh`.
|
|
You need to call `python3 auto_vect.py --fsave` inside base source folder and where json.gz files exist.
