25# This script is used to calculate two basic properties of the branch prediction
26# heuristics - coverage and hitrate. Coverage is number of executions
27# of a given branch matched by the heuristics and hitrate is probability
28# that once branch is predicted as taken it is really taken.
29#
30# These values are useful to determine the quality of given heuristics.
31# Hitrate may be directly used in predict.def.
32#
33# Usage:
34# Step 1: Compile and profile your program. You need to use -fprofile-generate
35# flag to get the profiles.
36# Step 2: Make a reference run of the intrumented application.
37# Step 3: Compile the program with collected profile and dump IPA profiles
38# (-fprofile-use -fdump-ipa-profile-details)
39# Step 4: Collect all generated dump files:
40# find . -name '*.profile' | xargs cat > dump_file
41# Step 5: Run the script:
42# ./analyze_brprob.py dump_file
43# and read results. Basically the following table is printed:
44#
45# HEURISTICS BRANCHES (REL) HITRATE COVERAGE (REL)
46# early return (on trees) 3 0.2% 35.83% / 93.64% 66360 0.0%

54# DS theory 281 21.9% 82.08% / 83.39% 7787264075 23.9%
55# no prediction 293 22.9% 46.92% / 70.70% 2293267840 7.0%
56# guessed loop iterations 313 24.4% 76.41% / 76.41% 10782750177 33.1%

58# combined 1282 100.0% 79.76% / 81.75% 32570120606 100.0%
59#
60#
61# The heuristics called "first match" is a heuristics used by GCC branch
62# prediction pass and it predicts 55.2% branches correctly. As you can,
63# the heuristics has very good covertage (69.05%). On the other hand,
64# "opcode values nonequal (on trees)" heuristics has good hirate, but poor
65# coverage.
