Average path: Display a virtual path defined by average values of all real paths

Function	main
Source file and lines	attention.cpp:26-33
Module	attention-avx512

The loop is defined in /home/eoseret/llm-attention/attention.cpp:26-33.

Analyzed code is defined in /home/eoseret/llm-attention/attention.cpp:26-27,30,33.

Warnings:
Non-innermost loop: analyzing only self part (ignoring child loops).
This loop has 4 execution paths.

The presence of multiple execution paths is typically the main/first bottleneck.
Try to simplify control inside loop: ideally, try to remove all conditional expressions, for example by (if applicable):

hoisting them (moving them outside the loop)
turning them into conditional moves, MIN or MAX

Ex: if (x<0) x=0 => x = (x<0 ? 0 : x) (or MAX(0,x) after defining the corresponding macro)

Vectorization

Your loop is poorly vectorized. Only 18% of vector register length is used (average across all SSE/AVX instructions).

Details

41% of SSE/AVX instructions are used in vector version (process two or more data elements in vector registers):

0% of SSE/AVX stores are used in vector version.
73% of SSE/AVX addition or subtraction instructions are used in vector version.
0% of SSE/AVX multiply instructions are used in vector version.
45% of SSE/AVX instructions that are not load, store, addition, subtraction nor multiply instructions are used in vector version.

Workaround

Read the "512-bits vectorization" report at "Potential" confidence level.

512-bits vectorization

On some x86 processors supporting 512-bits vectorization, compilers are often too conservative and limit vectorization to 256 bits. Performance can then be improved by enforcing 512-bits vectorization, especially with many vectorized and high trip count loops. 512-bits vectorization performance overhead (compared to 256-bits) is generally lower on newer processors.

Workaround

Recompile with -mprefer-vector-width=512

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.

Details

VCVTSD2SS (FP64 to FP32, scalar): 0 occurrences

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

0 SSE or AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in scalar mode (one at a time). 0 SSE or AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in vector mode (two at a time). 1 AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in vector mode (four at a time).

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

The binary loop is composed of 7.5 FP arithmetical operations:

7.50: addition or subtraction

The binary loop is loading 20 bytes (2 double precision FP elements). The binary loop is storing 4 bytes (0 double precision FP elements).

Arithmetic intensity

Arithmetic intensity is 0.31 FP operations per loaded or stored byte.

Cycles and memory resources usage

Assuming all data fit into the L1 cache, each iteration of the binary loop takes 3.25 cycles. At this rate:

2% of peak load performance is reached (6.40 out of 256.00 bytes loaded per cycle (GB/s @ 1GHz))
1% of peak store performance is reached (1.36 out of 128.00 bytes stored per cycle (GB/s @ 1GHz))

Code clean check

Detected a slowdown caused by scalar integer instructions (typically used for address computation). By removing them, you can lower the cost of an iteration from 2.00 to 1.13 cycles (1.78x speedup).

Workaround

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

Vectorization

Your loop is probably not vectorized. Only 12% 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 2.00 to 0.14 cycles (14.32x speedup).

Details

Store and arithmetical 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:
- recompile with ffast-math (included in Ofast) to extend loop vectorization to FP reductions.
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)

The binary loop does not contain any FP arithmetical operations. The binary loop is loading 16 bytes. The binary loop is storing 4 bytes.

Assuming all data fit into the L1 cache, each iteration of the binary loop takes 2.00 cycles. At this rate:

1% of peak store performance is reached (2.00 out of 128.00 bytes stored per cycle (GB/s @ 1GHz))

Front-end bottlenecks

Performance is limited by instruction throughput (loading/decoding program instructions to execution core) (front-end is a bottleneck). By removing all these bottlenecks, you can lower the cost of an iteration from 2.00 to 1.50 cycles (1.33x speedup).

Workaround

Pass to your compiler a micro-architecture specialization option:
- use march=native
Use vector aligned instructions:
1. align your arrays on 64 bytes boundaries: replace { void *p = malloc (size); } with { void *p; posix_memalign (&p, 64, size); }.
2. inform your compiler that your arrays are vector aligned: if array 'foo' is 64 bytes-aligned, define a pointer 'p_foo' as __builtin_assume_aligned (foo, 64) and use it instead of 'foo' in the loop.

1 SSE or AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in scalar mode (one at a time). 1 SSE or AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in vector mode (two at a time). 3 AVX instructions are processing arithmetic or math operations on double precision FP elements in vector mode (four at a time).

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

The binary loop is composed of 15 FP arithmetical operations:

15: addition or subtraction

The binary loop is loading 24 bytes (3 double precision FP elements). The binary loop is storing 4 bytes (0 double precision FP elements).

Arithmetic intensity

Arithmetic intensity is 0.54 FP operations per loaded or stored byte.

Code clean check

Detected a slowdown caused by scalar integer instructions (typically used for address computation). By removing them, you can lower the cost of an iteration from 4.38 to 3.00 cycles (1.46x speedup).

Workaround

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

Vectorization

Your loop is partially vectorized. Only 23% of vector register length is used (average across all SSE/AVX instructions).

Details

57% of SSE/AVX instructions are used in vector version (process two or more data elements in vector registers):

0% of SSE/AVX stores are used in vector version.
66% of SSE/AVX addition or subtraction instructions are used in vector version.
0% of SSE/AVX multiply instructions are used in vector version.
63% of SSE/AVX instructions that are not load, store, addition, subtraction nor multiply instructions are used in vector version.

Workaround

Workaround

Pass to your compiler a micro-architecture specialization option:
- use march=native
Use vector aligned instructions:
1. align your arrays on 64 bytes boundaries: replace { void *p = malloc (size); } with { void *p; posix_memalign (&p, 64, size); }.
2. inform your compiler that your arrays are vector aligned: if array 'foo' is 64 bytes-aligned, define a pointer 'p_foo' as __builtin_assume_aligned (foo, 64) and use it instead of 'foo' in the loop.

Conversion instructions

Detected expensive conversion instructions.
