Vectorization

Your loop is not vectorized. Only 8% of vector register length is used (average across all SSE/AVX instructions). By vectorizing your loop, you can lower the cost of an iteration from 3.00 to 0.22 cycles (13.33x speedup).

Details

All SSE/AVX instructions are used in scalar version (process only one data element in vector registers). Since your execution units are vector units, only a vectorized loop can use their full power.

Workaround

Try another compiler or update/tune your current one
Remove inter-iterations dependences from your loop and make it unit-stride:
- If your arrays have 2 or more dimensions, check whether elements are accessed contiguously and, otherwise, try to permute loops accordingly: C storage order is row-major: for(i) for(j) a[j][i] = b[j][i]; (slow, non stride 1) => for(i) for(j) a[i][j] = b[i][j]; (fast, stride 1)
- If your loop streams arrays of structures (AoS), try to use structures of arrays instead (SoA): for(i) a[i].x = b[i].x; (slow, non stride 1) => for(i) a.x[i] = b.x[i]; (fast, stride 1)

Execution units bottlenecks

Found no such bottlenecks but see expert reports for more complex bottlenecks.

FMA

Presence of both ADD/SUB and MUL operations.

Workaround

Recompile with march=sapphirerapids. CQA target is Granite_Rapids_ad (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Granite Rapids) but specialization flags are -march=graniterapids
Try to change order in which elements are evaluated (using parentheses) in arithmetic expressions containing both ADD/SUB and MUL operations to enable your compiler to generate FMA instructions wherever possible. For instance a + b*c is a valid FMA (MUL then ADD). However (a+b)* c cannot be translated into an FMA (ADD then MUL).

Slow data structures access

Detected data structures (typically arrays) that cannot be efficiently read/written

Details

Constant unknown stride: 2 occurrence(s)

Non-unit stride (uncontiguous) accesses are not efficiently using data caches

Workaround

Try to reorganize arrays of structures to structures of arrays
Consider to permute loops (see vectorization gain report)

Conversion instructions

Detected expensive conversion instructions.

- /home/eoseret/llm-attention/attention_v2.cpp:31

Workaround

Avoid mixing data with different types. In particular, check if the type of constants is the same as array elements. Use double instead of single precision only when/where needed by numerical stability and avoid mixing precision. In C/C++, FP constants are double precision by default and must be suffixed by 'f' to make them single precision.

Type of elements and instruction set

2 SSE or AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in scalar mode (one at a time).

Matching between your loop (in the source code) and the binary loop

The binary loop is composed of 2 FP arithmetical operations:

1: addition or subtraction
1: multiply

The binary loop is loading 8 bytes (1 double precision FP elements).

Arithmetic intensity

Arithmetic intensity is 0.25 FP operations per loaded or stored byte.
