It determines which branches and values in a loop or GPU // program are divergent. It can help branch optimizations such as jump // threading and loop unswitching to make better decisions. // // GPU programs typically use the SIMD execution model, where multiple threads // in the same execution group have to execute in lock-step. Therefore, if the // code contains divergent branches (i.e., threads in a group do not agree on // which path of the branch to take), the group of threads has to execute all // the paths from that branch with different subsets of threads enabled until // they re-converge. // // Due to this execution model, some optimizations such as jump // threading and loop unswitching can interfere with thread re-convergence. // Therefore, an analysis that computes which branches in a GPU program are // divergent can help the compiler to selectively run these optimizations. // // This implementation is derived from the Vectorization Analysis of the // Region Vectorizer (RV). That implementation in turn is based on the approach // described in // // Improving Performance of OpenCL on CPUs // Ralf Karrenberg and Sebastian Hack // CC '12 // // This DivergenceAnalysis implementation is generic in the sense that it does // not itself identify original sources of divergence. // Instead specialized adapter classes, (LoopDivergenceAnalysis) for loops and // (GPUDivergenceAnalysis) for GPU programs, identify the sources of divergence // (e.g., special variables that hold the thread ID or the iteration variable). // // The generic implementation propagates divergence to variables that are data // or sync dependent on a source of divergence. // // While data dependency is a well-known concept, the notion of sync dependency // is worth more explanation. Sync dependence characterizes the control flow // aspect of the propagation of branch divergence. For example, // // %cond = icmp slt i32 %tid, 10 // br i1 %cond, label %then, label %else // then: // br label %merge // else: // br label %merge // merge: // %a = phi i32 [ 0, %then ], [ 1, %else ] // // Suppose %tid holds the thread ID. Although %a is not data dependent on %tid // because %tid is not on its use-def chains, %a is sync dependent on %tid // because the branch "br i1 %cond" depends on %tid and affects which value %a // is assigned to. // // The sync dependence detection (which branch induces divergence in which join // points) is implemented in the SyncDependenceAnalysis. // // The current DivergenceAnalysis implementation has the following limitations: // 1. intra-procedural. It conservatively considers the arguments of a // non-kernel-entry function and the return value of a function call as // divergent. // 2. memory as black box. It conservatively considers values loaded from // generic or local address as divergent. This can be improved by leveraging // pointer analysis and/or by modelling non-escaping memory objects in SSA // as done in RV. // //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// #include "llvm/Analysis/DivergenceAnalysis.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/LoopInfo.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/Passes.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/PostDominators.h" #include "llvm/Analysis/TargetTransformInfo.h" #include "llvm/IR/Dominators.h" #include "llvm/IR/InstIterator.h" #include "llvm/IR/Instructions.h" #include "llvm/IR/IntrinsicInst.h" #include "llvm/IR/Value.h" #include "llvm/Support/Debug.h" #include "llvm/Support/raw_ostream.h" using namespace llvm;
