Peak Optimization Flags

C benchmarks

433.milc

- -Qprof_gen
- PASS1_CFLAGS, PASS1_LDFLAGS
- This option instruments a program for profiling as first step in Profile Guided Optimization.
  
  Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) consists of 3 phases:
  Phase 1: Compile and generate instrumented code in preparation to gather profiling information (compiler flag -Qprof_gen).
  Phase 2: Execute the instrumented code and gather profiling information.
  Phase 3: Recompile the code and use the profiling information for improved optimization (compiler flag -Qprof_use).
  
  The option -Qprof_gen instruments a program for profiling to get the execution count of each basic block. It also creates a new static profile information file (.spi). This flag is used in phase 1 of the Profile Guided Optimizer (PGO) to instruct the compiler to produce code in your object files in preparation for instrumented execution.
  
  The instrumented code
  - Gathers information regarding execution paths.
  - Gathers information regarding data values.
  - Does not use hardware performance counters.
- -Qprof_use
- PASS2_CFLAGS, PASS2_LDFLAGS
- This option enables the use of profiling information during optimization as final step in Profile Guided Optimization.
  
  Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) consists of 3 phases:
  Phase 1: Compile and generate instrumented code in preparation to gather profiling information (compiler flag -Qprof_gen).
  Phase 2: Execute the instrumented code and gather profiling information.
  Phase 3: Recompile the code and use the profiling information for improved optimization (compiler flag -Qprof_use).
  
  The option -Qprof_use instructs the compiler to use the profiling information from phase 2 of PGO in order to produce a profile-optimized executable (phase 3 of PGO).
  
  It also enables function splitting (option -Qfnsplit) and function grouping during optimization.
  
  Note that there is no way to turn off function grouping if you enable it using this option.
  
  The recompilation with -Qprof_use
  - Uses information regarding execution paths.
  - Uses information regarding data values.
  - Does not use hardware performance counters.
  - Uses techniques (like function grouping) which are not available without PGO.
- Includes:
  - -Qfnsplit
- -fast
- COPTIMIZE
- Maximizes speed across the entire program.
  
  In Windows, it sets the following options:

- -Qprof_gen
- PASS1_CXXFLAGS, PASS1_LDFLAGS
- This option instruments a program for profiling as first step in Profile Guided Optimization.
  
  Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) consists of 3 phases:
  Phase 1: Compile and generate instrumented code in preparation to gather profiling information (compiler flag -Qprof_gen).
  Phase 2: Execute the instrumented code and gather profiling information.
  Phase 3: Recompile the code and use the profiling information for improved optimization (compiler flag -Qprof_use).
  
  The option -Qprof_gen instruments a program for profiling to get the execution count of each basic block. It also creates a new static profile information file (.spi). This flag is used in phase 1 of the Profile Guided Optimizer (PGO) to instruct the compiler to produce code in your object files in preparation for instrumented execution.
  
  The instrumented code
  - Gathers information regarding execution paths.
  - Gathers information regarding data values.
  - Does not use hardware performance counters.
- -Qprof_use

  The option -Qprof_use instructs the compiler to use the profiling information from phase 2 of PGO in order to produce a profile-optimized executable (phase 3 of PGO).
  
  It also enables function splitting (option -Qfnsplit) and function grouping during optimization.
  
  Note that there is no way to turn off function grouping if you enable it using this option.

- -Qxprocessor    This option directs the compiler to generate specialized and optimized code for the Intel processor that executes your program. It lets you target your program to run on a specific Intel processor.
  
  processor    Is the processor for which you want to target your program.
  Here: T    Code is optimized generating SSSE3, SSE3, SSE2, and SSE instructions for Intel processors. Code can be optimized for the Intel Core 2 Duo processor family. The resulting code may contain unconditional use of features that are not supported on other processors.
  This option also enables new optimizations in addition to Intel processor-specific optimizations including advanced data layout and code restructuring optimizations to improve memory accesses for Intel processors.

- -Qscalar-rep-
- FOPTIMIZE
- Enables[disables] scalar replacement performed during loop transformations.
  (requires /O3).
- -Qprec-div-
- FOPTIMIZE
- -Qprec-div improves precision of floating-point divides. It has a slight impact on speed. -Qprec-div- disables this option.
  
  With some optimizations, -QxN and -QxB, the compiler may change floating-point division computations into multiplication by the reciprocal of the denominator. For example, A/B is computed as A * (1/B) to improve the speed of the computation.
  
  However, sometimes the value produced by this transformation is not as accurate as full IEEE division. When it is important to have fully precise IEEE division, use this option to disable the floating-point division-to-multiplication optimization. The result is more accurate, with some loss of performance.
  
  If you specify -Qprec-div-, it enables optimizations that give slightly less precise results than full IEEE division.
  
  Default is -Qprec-div

  The option -Qprof_use instructs the compiler to use the profiling information from phase 2 of PGO in order to produce a profile-optimized executable (phase 3 of PGO).
  
  It also enables function splitting (option -Qfnsplit) and function grouping during optimization.
  
  Note that there is no way to turn off function grouping if you enable it using this option.
  
  The recompilation with -Qprof_use
  - Uses information regarding execution paths.
  - Uses information regarding data values.
  - Does not use hardware performance counters.
  - Uses techniques (like function grouping) which are not available without PGO.
- Includes:
  - -Qfnsplit
- -fast
- OPTIMIZE
- Maximizes speed across the entire program.
  
  In Windows, it sets the following options:
  -O3 -Qipo -Qprec-div- -QxT
  
  Note that programs compiled with the -QxT option will detect non-compatible processors and generate an error message during execution.
  The -QxT option that is set by the -fast option cannot be overridden by other command line options. If you specify -fast and a differnt processor-specific option, such as -QxN, the compiler will issue a warning that explains the -QxT option cannot be overridden.
- Includes:
  - -O3
    - -O2

      -Oi

      -GF
      
      -Gs
      
      -Gy
      
      -Qftz
  - -Qprec-div-
  - -QxT
  - -Qipo
- -Qunroll-aggressive
- OPTIMIZE
- Enables more aggressive unrolling heuristics
- -F1000000000
- EXTRA_LDFLAGS
- Specifies the stack reserve amount for the program.
  
  -F<n>
  <n> is the stack reserve amount. It can be specified as a decimal integer or by using a C-style convention for constants (for example, -F0x1000).
  Default: The stack size default is chosen by the operating system.
- libguide40.lib
- EXTRA_LIBS
- The use of -Qparallel to generate auto-parallelized code requires support libraries that are dynamically linked by default. Specifying libguide40.lib on the link line, statically links in libguide40.lib to allow auto-parallelized binaries to work on systems which do not have the dynamic version of this library installed.
