[rvm-core] Thread TID in Linux when using -X:processors=all

2008-10-05T06:06:12Z

Hi,

I'm Frederick Ryckbosch, a computer science student at the university
of Gent. For my master thesis I'm trying to integrate the IBS
(instruction based sampling) of AMD in Jikes RVM. I have a couple of
questions about this.

I'm using a Linux 32 bit OS and jikes-3.0.0. The first thing I have to
do is initialize the counters in each thread.
* Can I do this in GreenScheduler and GreenProcessor ?
* In the same way the affinity of the threads is set ?

There is one signal handler that will handle the overflow of the
counters for all my threads. To read the correct counter, I use the
thread's TID. Normally in Linux, when starting a number of threads,
their TID is pid, pid+1, pid+2 and so on. This does not seem to be the
case in the Jikes RVM. When starting with -X:processors=all (on
QuadCore), 5 threads are started in stead of 4 thread. Only 4 threads
are used by Java. The TIDS's are : pid, pid+12, pid+13, pid+14. Is
this always the case ? What happend to the other 11 TID's ?

I hope somebody can answer these questions. Thanks in advance !
Greetings,
Frederick Ryckbosch

Most likely the thing you need to fix is the estimate of space for a tableswitch. A conservative approximation would be to just say that a tableswitch takes 127 bytes and therefore we'll never try to use a short branch to span it. I suspect the estimate that is there now was assuming the expansion of the table by FinalMIRExpansion (and therefore didn't account for the data). The code itself is pretty straightforward (see AssemblerBase.estimateSize); all you should need to do is to add a case for tableswitch instead of falling through to the default case.

Apologies for the delay, the failure is due to the changes in the table
switch. We are estimating a short branch can span a tableswitch when it
can't. I'm trying to figure out how to convince the short branch it
can't span the tableswitch but the code to change could use better
documentation. The bug is exposed by profiled images and hence has
effected performance regressions. I hope to have this fixed asap.

Ian

[rvm-core] Quarantine

2008-09-28T17:43:03Z

There is now a 'quarantine' test run that is being tested on linux ppc32, ppc64 and ia32 every 24 hours.

It is up to date with all changes up to 15014.

Hopefully the results from it settle in the next couple of days (with performance and stability figures) and we can start to introduce compiler optimizations there to insulate other development work going on in the head.

Cheers,
Daniel.

Re: [rvm-core] Regression testing IA32 OS/X

2008-09-18T17:23:07Z

OK. Fixed now.

The default install had the machine going to sleep after some amount of idle time.

I also applied all the updates, so it is now at 10.5.5.

Please yell if there are any further problems.

[rvm-core] ground rules for re-enabling opt compiler optimizations

2008-09-18T10:16:17Z

I'd like to suggest a higher bar than just pre-commit passing for any such commits going forward. The reason we disabled these in the first place is that there was at least some evidence they are buggy.

I'd suggest a minimal bar of running the core tests on at least ia32 and seeing a 100% pass. Ideally, a test should be run on core on both ia32 and a ppc platform. This will be required for the riskier optimizations. This will slow down re-enabling optimizations, but the alternative is to slow down all other forward development because we lose a whole iteration of test results to something that could have been caught before it was committed and thus make it harder to detect regressions introduced due to other (non-opt re-enablement) commits.

I believe this result indicates expression folding/simplification is still not correct. If that is the case, I am going to back out the problem change(s). Testing now; expect a change to be reverted within an hour.

[rvm-core] new JIRA release: svn head

2008-09-16T08:03:56Z

I created a release called svn head in JIRA to use as a fix target for all regressions that we introduce during development (ie, bugs that are in the head, but are known to not be present in the last released version of the system). Please use this as the fix target for JIRA items for such regressions. This way, we'll keep the transient bugs & fixes out of the release notes we generate for each version (since the bugs weren't in any released version of the system, we don't want the fact that we fixed them in the release notes).

As a general rule, any bug with a fix target of svn head will block the next release, so we should try to fix them fairly quickly.

Hi Steve,

I can't ssh on to paprika. I see:

ssh: connect to host paprika port 22: No route to host

from ANU machines and Manchester.

Regards,
Ian

I will start the process of upgrading to 10.5 today (may have to wait
on our tech people getting hold of the media etc etc etc). You can
forge ahead with the regression set up in the meantime.

I've not set one up before, but AFAIK it's all here: http://jikesrvm.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jikesrvm/admin/
I expect it will just be a matter of you cloning the files from a
similar machine.

I'm not sure what version of OS X is best to run, I guess the latest
will be what most people try. Paprika still needs the normal cron and
cattrack set up. I'd be happy to do this if there were some documentation.

Ian

There's been a machine there for a long time. I recently renamed it
paprika. It is running OS X 10.4.

I'm not sure what your question above is in reference to. Did you
want an OS upgrade?

Cheers,

[rvm-core] 3.0.1 release in 2-3 weeks

2008-09-14T11:55:21Z

We're making some nice progress on fixing bugs and improving functionality (ia32/OSX; more function from the Harmony libraries) since the 3.0.0 release. I think it makes sense to put out a 3.0.1 by early October.

In addition to continuing to push on stability & function, I think we're close enough to a stable system now that we could contemplate starting to gradually move some optimizations from O3 back to O2 (the number of intermittent bugs seems to be almost low enough that new bugs will stand out). Ian and I have had a couple chats about how to approach that; I'll try to line up the initial plan as some JIRA items over the next couple days.

[rvm-core] Regression testing IA32 OS/X

2008-09-14T05:30:37Z

Hi,

I believe IA32 OS/X is now working again (thanks to Kenneth Hoste). We
should add it to the support matrix:

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/RVM/Building+the+RVM

but I'm wary of doing so until regression tests are being run. Any
progress on the set up of the machine at ANU?

Regards,
Ian

Re: [rvm-core] [rvm-regress] [sanity.5244] 947 FAILURES

There's something badly wrong and I'd say this was due to my PLOS
change (r14970). I'll try to look at it this evening. If I can't
solve it quickly, I'll back out of r14970 and look into it off-line.
I did test the change against a good number of GCs, but I've obviously
missed something :-/

Re: [rvm-core] cattrack down

2008-09-12T01:26:39Z

I have left things as they are (were) on the machine for now bar for some minor updates. I have a duplicate setup on another machine that is basically ready to migrate to if we ever need to.

For now we are just going to have to stick with the status quo until we get a chance to clean it up properly... I have given up trying to properly fix the performance and stability problems for now.. Unfortunately this just means we need to resort to kicking the thing when it misbehaves.

Cheers,
Daniel.

[rvm-core] cattrack down

2008-09-11T07:12:11Z

the cattrack web interface on jikesrvm.anu.edu.au appears to be down.

Two requests:
1) Could someone who knows what they're doing give it a kick to get it up again.
2) Could we document how to give cattrack a kick somewhere in the wiki so that anyone who has access to the machine can find out what they should do to get things working again.

thanks,
