The frequency of these notifications is * different at each level. These notifications are used by the policy to decide what transition * to make. * * Execution starts at level 0 (interpreter), then the policy can decide either to compile the * method at level 3 or level 2. The decision is based on the following factors: * 1. The length of the C2 queue determines the next level. The observation is that level 2 * is generally faster than level 3 by about 30%, therefore we would want to minimize the time * a method spends at level 3. We should only spend the time at level 3 that is necessary to get * adequate profiling. So, if the C2 queue is long enough it is more beneficial to go first to * level 2, because if we transitioned to level 3 we would be stuck there until our C2 compile * request makes its way through the long queue. When the load on C2 recedes we are going to * recompile at level 3 and start gathering profiling information. * 2. The length of C1 queue is used to dynamically adjust the thresholds, so as to introduce * additional filtering if the compiler is overloaded. The rationale is that by the time a * method gets compiled it can become unused, so it doesn't make sense to put too much onto the * queue. * * After profiling is completed at level 3 the transition is made to level 4. Again, the length * of the C2 queue is used as a feedback to adjust the thresholds. * * After the first C1 compile some basic information is determined about the code like the number * of the blocks and the number of the loops. Based on that it can be decided that a method * is trivial and compiling it with C1 will yield the same code. In this case the method is * compiled at level 1 instead of 4. * * We also support profiling at level 0. If C1 is slow enough to produce the level 3 version of * the code and the C2 queue is sufficiently small we can decide to start profiling in the * interpreter (and continue profiling in the compiled code once the level 3 version arrives). * If the profiling at level 0 is fully completed before level 3 version is produced, a level 2 * version is compiled instead in order to run faster waiting for a level 4 version. * * Compile queues are implemented as priority queues - for each method in the queue we compute * the event rate (the number of invocation and backedge counter increments per unit of time). * When getting an element off the queue we pick the one with the largest rate. Maintaining the * rate also allows us to remove stale methods (the ones that got on the queue but stopped * being used shortly after that). */ /* Command line options: * - Tier?InvokeNotifyFreqLog and Tier?BackedgeNotifyFreqLog control the frequency of method * invocation and backedge notifications. Basically every n-th invocation or backedge a mutator thread * makes a call into the runtime. * * - Tier?InvocationThreshold, Tier?CompileThreshold, Tier?BackEdgeThreshold, Tier?MinInvocationThreshold control * compilation thresholds. * Level 2 thresholds are not used and are provided for option-compatibility and potential future use. * Other thresholds work as follows: * * Transition from interpreter (level 0) to C1 with full profiling (level 3) happens when * the following predicate is true (X is the level): * * i > TierXInvocationThreshold * s || (i > TierXMinInvocationThreshold * s && i + b > TierXCompileThreshold * s), * * where $i$ is the number of method invocations, $b$ number of backedges and $s$ is the scaling * coefficient that will be discussed further. * The intuition is to equalize the time that is spend profiling each method. * The same predicate is used to control the transition from level 3 to level 4 (C2). It should be * noted though that the thresholds are relative. Moreover i and b for the 0->3 transition come * from Method* and for 3->4 transition they come from MDO (since profiled invocations are * counted separately). Finally, if a method does not contain anything worth profiling, a transition * from level 3 to level 4 occurs without considering thresholds (e.g., with fewer invocations than * what is specified by Tier4InvocationThreshold). * * OSR transitions are controlled simply with b > TierXBackEdgeThreshold * s predicates. * * - Tier?LoadFeedback options are used to automatically scale the predicates described above depending * on the compiler load. The scaling coefficients are computed as follows: * * s = queue_size_X / (TierXLoadFeedback * compiler_count_X) + 1, * * where queue_size_X is the current size of the compiler queue of level X, and compiler_count_X * is the number of level X compiler threads. * * Basically these parameters describe how many methods should be in the compile queue * per compiler thread before the scaling coefficient increases by one. * * This feedback provides the mechanism to automatically control the flow of compilation requests * depending on the machine speed, mutator load and other external factors. * * - Tier3DelayOn and Tier3DelayOff parameters control another important feedback loop. * Consider the following observation: a method compiled with full profiling (level 3) * is about 30% slower than a method at level 2 (just invocation and backedge counters, no MDO). * Normally, the following transitions will occur: 0->3->4. The problem arises when the C2 queue * gets congested and the 3->4 transition is delayed. While the method is the C2 queue it continues * executing at level 3 for much longer time than is required by the predicate and at suboptimal speed. * The idea is to dynamically change the behavior of the system in such a way that if a substantial * load on C2 is detected we would first do the 0->2 transition allowing a method to run faster. * And then when the load decreases to allow 2->3 transitions. * * Tier3Delay* parameters control this switching mechanism. * Tier3DelayOn is the number of methods in the C2 queue per compiler thread after which the policy * no longer does 0->3 transitions but does 0->2 transitions instead. * Tier3DelayOff switches the original behavior back when the number of methods in the C2 queue * per compiler thread falls below the specified amount. * The hysteresis is necessary to avoid jitter. * * - TieredCompileTaskTimeout is the amount of time an idle method can spend in the compile queue. * Basically, since we use the event rate d(i + b)/dt as a value of priority when selecting a method to * compile from the compile queue, we also can detect stale methods for which the rate has been * 0 for some time in the same iteration. Stale methods can appear in the queue when an application * abruptly changes its behavior. * * - TieredStopAtLevel, is used mostly for testing. It allows to bypass the policy logic and stick * to a given level. For example it's useful to set TieredStopAtLevel = 1 in order to compile everything * with pure c1. * * - Tier0ProfilingStartPercentage allows the interpreter to start profiling when the inequalities in the * 0->3 predicate are already exceeded by the given percentage but the level 3 version of the * method is still not ready. We can even go directly from level 0 to 4 if c1 doesn't produce a compiled * version in time. This reduces the overall transition to level 4 and decreases the startup time. * Note that this behavior is also guarded by the Tier3Delay mechanism: when the c2 queue is too long * these is not reason to start profiling prematurely. * * - TieredRateUpdateMinTime and TieredRateUpdateMaxTime are parameters of the rate computation. * Basically, the rate is not computed more frequently than TieredRateUpdateMinTime and is considered * to be zero if no events occurred in TieredRateUpdateMaxTime. */ class TieredThresholdPolicy : public CompilationPolicy { jlong _start_time; int _c1_count, _c2_count; // Check if the counter is big enough and set carry (effectively infinity). inline void set_carry_if_necessary(InvocationCounter *counter); // Set carry flags in the counters (in Method* and MDO). inline void handle_counter_overflow(Method* method); // Call and loop predicates determine whether a transition to a higher compilation // level should be performed (pointers to predicate functions are passed to common_TF(). // Predicates also take compiler load into account. typedef bool (TieredThresholdPolicy::*Predicate)(int i, int b, CompLevel cur_level, Method* method); bool call_predicate(int i, int b, CompLevel cur_level, Method* method); bool loop_predicate(int i, int b, CompLevel cur_level, Method* method); // Common transition function.
