<h1>Clang - Performance</h1>

<!--*************************************************************************-->
|

|

<p>This page tracks the compile time performance of Clang on two
|
||||
interesting benchmarks:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><i>Sketch</i>: The Objective-C example application shipped on
|
||||
Mac OS X as part of Xcode. <i>Sketch</i> is indicative of a
|
||||
"typical" Objective-C app. The source itself has a relatively
|
||||
small amount of code (~7,500 lines of source code), but it relies
|
||||
on the extensive Cocoa APIs to build its functionality. Like many
|
||||
Objective-C applications, it includes
|
||||
<tt>Cocoa/Cocoa.h</tt> in all of its source files, which represents a
|
||||
significant stress test of the front-end's performance on lexing,
|
||||
preprocessing, parsing, and syntax analysis.</li>
|
||||
<li><i>176.gcc</i>: This is the gcc-2.7.2.2 code base as present in
|
||||
SPECINT 2000. In contrast to Sketch, <i>176.gcc</i> consists of a
|
||||
large amount of C source code (~220,000 lines) with few system
|
||||
dependencies. This stresses the back-end's performance on generating
|
||||
assembly code and debug information.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<!--*************************************************************************-->
|

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Measurements are done by serially processing each file in the
|
||||
respective benchmark, using Clang, gcc, and llvm-gcc as compilers. In
|
||||
order to track the performance of various subsystems the timings have
|
||||
been broken down into separate stages where possible:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><tt>-Eonly</tt>: This option runs the preprocessor but does not
|
||||
perform any output. For gcc and llvm-gcc, the -MM option is used
|
||||
as a rough equivalent to this step.</li>
|
||||
<li><tt>-parse-noop</tt>: This option runs the parser on the input,
|
||||
but without semantic analysis or any output. gcc and llvm-gcc have
|
||||
no equivalent for this option.</li>
|
||||
<li><tt>-fsyntax-only</tt>: This option runs the parser with semantic
|
||||
analysis.</li>
|
||||
<li><tt>-emit-llvm -O0</tt>: For Clang and llvm-gcc, this option
|
||||
converts to the LLVM intermediate representation but doesn't
|
||||
generate native code.</li>
|
||||
<li><tt>-S -O0</tt>: Perform actual code generation to produce a
|
||||
native assembler file.</li>
|
||||
<li><tt>-S -O0 -g</tt>: This adds emission of debug information to
|
||||
the assembly output.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This set of stages is chosen to be approximately additive, that is
|
||||
each subsequent stage simply adds some additional processing. The
|
||||
timings measure the delta of the given stage from the previous
|
||||
one. For example, the timings for <tt>-fsyntax-only</tt> below show
|
||||
the difference of running with <tt>-fsyntax-only</tt> versus running
|
||||
with <tt>-parse-noop</tt> (for clang) or <tt>-MM</tt> with gcc and
|
||||
llvm-gcc. This amounts to a fairly accurate measure of only the time
|
||||
to perform semantic analysis (and parsing, in the case of gcc and llvm-gcc).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These timings are chosen to break down the compilation process for
|
||||
clang as much as possible. The graphs below show these numbers
|
||||
combined so that it is easy to see how the time for a particular task
|
||||
is divided among various components. For example, <tt>-S -O0</tt>
|
||||
includes the time of <tt>-fsyntax-only</tt> and <tt>-emit-llvm -O0</tt>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that we already know that the LLVM optimizers are substantially (30-40%)
|
||||
faster than the GCC optimizers at a given -O level, so we only focus on -O0
|
||||
compile time here.</p>

|

|

<p>This shows Clang's substantial performance improvements in
|
||||
preprocessing and semantic analysis; over 90% faster on
|
||||
-fsyntax-only. As expected, time spent in code generation for this
|
||||
benchmark is relatively small. One caveat, Clang's debug information
|
||||
generation for Objective-C is very incomplete; this means the <tt>-S
|
||||
-O0 -g</tt> numbers are unfair since Clang is generating substantially
|
||||
less output.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This chart also shows the effect of using precompiled headers (PCH)
|
||||
on compiler time. gcc and llvm-gcc see a large performance improvement
|
||||
with PCH; about 4x in wall time. Unfortunately, Clang does not yet
|
||||
have an implementation of PCH-style optimizations, but we are actively
|
||||
working to address this.</p>

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unlike the <i>Sketch</i> timings, compilation of <i>176.gcc</i>
|
||||
involves a large amount of code generation. The time spent in Clang's
|
||||
LLVM IR generation and code generation is on par with gcc's code
|
||||
generation time but the improved parsing & semantic analysis
|
||||
performance means Clang still comes in at ~29% faster versus gcc
|
||||
on <tt>-S -O0 -g</tt> and ~20% faster versus llvm-gcc.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>These numbers indicate that Clang still has room for improvement in
|
||||
several areas, notably our LLVM IR generation is significantly slower
|
||||
than that of llvm-gcc, and both Clang and llvm-gcc incur a
|
||||
significantly higher cost for adding debugging information compared to
|
||||
gcc.</p>
