Subject: PA port & haifa
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 22:15:40 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <33FA0E96.630@shellus.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <19970819221540.RumNpmOvW7UZHOOE-z0I_zlUezIObsuljEpwCvsBgUg@z> (raw)

In the next snapshot, the PA port will default to using the
haifa scheduler.

After some tuning of the PA backend, haifa is showing a noticable
improvement in FP intensive code.  While there are still some
cases where the generated code is slower, the majority of the
time the code is significantly faster.  For specfp92 I'm seeing
an overall improvement of about 6.5%.

I encourage others to test with haifa and tune the scheduling
parameters to get good performance from haifa.

As haifa improves in both code reliability and speed, we can
make it the default for additional cpus -- with the goal of
having the haifa scheduler replace the old scheduler.
