What is the timing when adding -O3 to the command line.  GCC defaults to no
optimizations turned on.  This is unlike ifort which defaults to having
optimizations turned on.

This is probably library issue.

You can try to benchmark with "-O3 -mfpmath=sse,387 -ffast-math"
(Alternatively, you can link svml vector library with "-O3 -mveclibabi=svml
-ffast-math", although IIRC, vectorized sincos is not yet supported.

[Bug fortran/40766] this fortran program is too slow

[burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org]

------- Comment #6 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-07-15 20:27 -------
You should also add -march=native to the command line; it probably does not
help much, bit it should help a bit. I recall also the standard GLIBC misses
some optimized version for math on x86-64 while AMD provides patches for those
(applied by standard on SUSE Linux). Though, I am not sure whether this is
still an issue.

With openSUSE Factory (x86_64, glibc 2.10.1, GCC 4.5.0) I get on an AMD Athlon
64 x2 4800+ the following timings, which do not look too bad:

$ ifort -O3 -xHost aa.f90; time ./a.out/
real  1m59.997s    user  1m59.651s   sys   0m0.252s

$ gfortran -O3 -ffast-math -march=native aa.f90; time ./a.out
real  2m29.711s    user  2m28.841s   sys   0m0.236s

$ gfortran -O3 -ffast-math  -mveclibabi=acml -march=native aa.f90 \
  -L /opt/acml4.2.0/gfortran64_mp/lib/ -lacml_mv   #(Note: current is ACML 4.3)
real  2m29.693s    user  2m29.373s   sys   0m0.192s

$ gfortran -O3 -ffast-math  -mveclibabi=svml -march=native aa.f90 \
  -L /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/038/lib/intel64 -lsvml -limf -lintlc; \
  time ./a.out
real  3m56.189s    user  3m55.839s   sys   0m0.200s

Thus with the GLIBC (with AMD patches) or with the AMCL, one gets only a
slowdown of 25%, which is still acceptable. Why the Intel routines are so slow
on my AMD, I do not know.

With -mveclibabi=svml sincosf and tanf are linked; for -mveclibabi=acml and no
-mvec* option, sincosf and tanf@@GLIBC_2.2.5. ifort by contrast calls:
vmlsSinCos4 vmlsTan4

Thus the question is really: Why are neither vmlsSinCos4 nor vmlsTan4 - nor for
ACML vrs4_sincosf/vrsa_sincosf (vrs*_tan* does not exist) called?

icc can vectorize the function, gcc cannot.  Use an operating system which
has sincos available and you'll get at least that bit.

You definitely want -O3 -ffast-math.  That we can't vectorize sin/cos/tan
is RMS fault.

compilation is also very slow, isn't it?

can anybody confirm my results of only with or without -O3 option?

I think the difference of sse or x87 is 4 times at most.

It's due to the initialization expression.
How much memory do you have?  You're most likely swapping.
Your code when compiled with 4.5.0 shows 

  PID USERNAME    THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE   C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND
 2092 kargl         1  98    0  1040M   807M CPU1    0   0:07 37.98% f951

in top(1).  

Changing your code to something a little more sane like

  integer,parameter :: N=50000000
  real :: x(N)
  x = 0.0

uses no swap and compiles in less than a second.

If you reduce 50000000 to something sane like 50 and use
the -fdump-tree-original option you might get a clue to
the problem.

See [1], section 12.1, CPU dispatching in Intel compiler, on how to hack around
this issue.

Because sincos returns _TWO_ values and the vectorizer does not yet support
this. ASAP as the middle-end infrastructure is in place, we can stick
vectorized sincos in ix86_veclib* functions. See also [1] and [2], sincos part.

Perhaps you could motivate Richi to extend the vectorizer infrastructure ;)

Actually the middle-end presents the vectorizer with a call to a complex
function and REAL/IMAGPART exprs.  I don't remember exactly which part
confuses it, but certainly the mixed complex / real types do.

This is a glibc issue with software sin function.  It does not use the FPU.

Just try with -m32. Changing n=50000
$ gfc -m64 untitled.f90 
$ time ./a.out
  -1781878.9    

real    0m3.060s

real    0m0.234s
user    0m0.231s
sys     0m0.004s

The situation is absolutely absurd.  I opened a PR for this so long ago, I

AMD has some patches for this, which are seemingly only used by (open)SUSE's
glibc. Try http://developer.amd.com/CPU/LIBRARIES/LIBM/Pages/default.aspx

I'll look into this when I have a minute.

I'm hesitant to merging patches to EGLIBC that were not submitted to 
either GLIBC or EGLIBC mailing lists.  There are copyright assignment 
issues with extracting patches from (open)SUSE's GLIBC and committing 
them in to EGLIBC.  Copyright assignment is not an absolutely blocking 
issue, but it is one of the concerns.

The plan of action is to find out who the author of the patch is and ask 
him or her to submit the patch to EGLIBC.

The glibc libm work has mainly been oriented at correctness rather than 
performance, and postdates the 2.15 release so will be new in 2.16 (the 
2.15 announcement came some time after the actual tag and branching).

libm. Whether it fixes any of these performance issues I don't know.
