Click on the name of a set of benchmarks in the table above to see the details. Note that due to constant improvements to dco and the introduction of new benchmarks the underlying data might be different from the last time you saw it.
Read the text bellow to understand how the benchmarks were executed.
Most benchmarks are located on the web - please write us If you want to obtain the source code of a particular benchmark, or have any questions about it.
The benchmark is evaluated in the following way:
- compile
source code by gcc
and execute
in most cases we were using gcc version 4.1 or later.
in most cases the following list of options was used in addition to the processor specific compiler options:
-S -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all-loops -ffast-math -mfpmath=sse
- use
dco
on the x86 assembly code
produced by gcc
and execute
- compare
results of execution
the times reported were used to calculate the code optimization improvements as following:1 - ( timeAfterOptimizations/timeBygccAlone )for example if compiler generated code run for .966 seconds and code after dco optimization run for .535 seconds the improvement of 45% was reported. Note that improvement calculated in such a way never exceed 100%. Also note that improvement of 50% means that optimized code is twice as fast as the original.
All benchmarks were executed under Linux operating system. It was ensured that benchmarks run under the same conditions on the system with the minimal possible load.
Every benchmark was executed 3 times with the time reported being neither the best nor the worst.
