             Bug #: 53397
           Summary: Scimark performance drops by 10x times when compiled
                    -O3 -march=amdfam10 due to generation more prefecthes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: tree-ssa
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: tree-optimization
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: venkataramanan.kumar@amd.com


With GCC4.7 the benchmark score drops from ~400 Mflops to ~40 mflops. Almost 10
folds.

Prefecth instructions introduced in the innermost loops of
"FFT_transform_internal" ( FFT.c ) in GCC4.7 but not in GCC4.6 which is causing
the slow down. 

Compiling this function alone as a separate test case with
-fno-prefetch-loop-arrays brings back the original score.

The problem is exposed http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?root=gcc&view=rev&rev=175474

With GCC r175473
--------------------------
gcc -O3 -march=amdfam10 *.c -o Scimark175473 -lm
