[ORC] WaitingOnGraph perf: faster dependence propagation. (#183272) This commit replaces the core dependence propagation algorithm in WaitingOnGraph to avoid worst-case behavior in the common case where dependence graphs are sparse. This algorithm showed up as the underlying cause of the bug in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/179611. For each call to MaterializationResponsibility::notifyEmitted, WaitingOnGraph would build the transitive closure of all SuperNodes whose "waiting on" relationships were affected by the newly emitted symbols, then propagate any remaining unemitted dependencies through this transitive closure graph. This approach is simple, but pushes the algorithm towards n^2 complexity even for sparse dependence graphs. The new propagation algorithm: 1. Inverts the edge direction in the SymbolDependenceMap data structure: SymbolDepMap[SN] now contains the set of SuperNodes that depend on SN, rather than the set that SN depends upon. 2. Pushes dependencies through the SymbolDepMap iteratively until it reaches a fixed point. This updated algorithm converges much more quickly than the original for the testcase reported in the issue, and for other cases tested so far. No testcase yet, as this only affects performance. I've filed a follow-up issue, https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/183251, to track construction of performance testing infrastructure for WaitingOnGraph. Should fix https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/179611
Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
