35 * The system supports 5 execution levels: | |
36 * * level 0 - interpreter | |
37 * * level 1 - C1 with full optimization (no profiling) | |
38 * * level 2 - C1 with invocation and backedge counters | |
39 * * level 3 - C1 with full profiling (level 2 + MDO) | |
40 * * level 4 - C2 | |
41 * | |
42 * Levels 0, 2 and 3 periodically notify the runtime about the current value of the counters | |
43 * (invocation counters and backedge counters). The frequency of these notifications is | |
44 * different at each level. These notifications are used by the policy to decide what transition | |
45 * to make. | |
46 * | |
47 * Execution starts at level 0 (interpreter), then the policy can decide either to compile the | |
48 * method at level 3 or level 2. The decision is based on the following factors: | |
49 * 1. The length of the C2 queue determines the next level. The observation is that level 2 | |
50 * is generally faster than level 3 by about 30%, therefore we would want to minimize the time | |
51 * a method spends at level 3. We should only spend the time at level 3 that is necessary to get | |
52 * adequate profiling. So, if the C2 queue is long enough it is more beneficial to go first to | |
53 * level 2, because if we transitioned to level 3 we would be stuck there until our C2 compile | |
54 * request makes its way through the long queue. When the load on C2 recedes we are going to | |
55 * recompile at level 3 and start gathering profiling information. | |
56 * 2. The length of C1 queue is used to dynamically adjust the thresholds, so as to introduce | |
57 * additional filtering if the compiler is overloaded. The rationale is that by the time a | |
58 * method gets compiled it can become unused, so it doesn't make sense to put too much onto the | |
59 * queue. | |
60 * | |
61 * After profiling is completed at level 3 the transition is made to level 4. Again, the length | |
62 * of the C2 queue is used as a feedback to adjust the thresholds. | |
63 * | |
64 * After the first C1 compile some basic information is determined about the code like the number | |
65 * of the blocks and the number of the loops. Based on that it can be decided that a method | |
66 * is trivial and compiling it with C1 will yield the same code. In this case the method is | |
67 * compiled at level 1 instead of 4. | |
68 * | |
69 * We also support profiling at level 0. If C1 is slow enough to produce the level 3 version of | |
70 * the code and the C2 queue is sufficiently small we can decide to start profiling in the | |
71 * interpreter (and continue profiling in the compiled code once the level 3 version arrives). | |
72 * If the profiling at level 0 is fully completed before level 3 version is produced, a level 2 | |
73 * version is compiled instead in order to run faster waiting for a level 4 version. | |
74 * | |
75 * Compile queues are implemented as priority queues - for each method in the queue we compute | |
76 * the event rate (the number of invocation and backedge counter increments per unit of time). | |
77 * When getting an element off the queue we pick the one with the largest rate. Maintaining the | |
78 * rate also allows us to remove stale methods (the ones that got on the queue but stopped | |
79 * being used shortly after that). | |
80 */ | |
81 | |
82 /* Command line options: | |
83 * - Tier?InvokeNotifyFreqLog and Tier?BackedgeNotifyFreqLog control the frequency of method | |
84 * invocation and backedge notifications. Basically every n-th invocation or backedge a mutator thread | |
85 * makes a call into the runtime. | |
86 * | |
87 * - Tier?CompileThreshold, Tier?BackEdgeThreshold, Tier?MinInvocationThreshold control | |
88 * compilation thresholds. | |
89 * Level 2 thresholds are not used and are provided for option-compatibility and potential future use. | |
90 * Other thresholds work as follows: | |
91 * | |
92 * Transition from interpreter (level 0) to C1 with full profiling (level 3) happens when | |
93 * the following predicate is true (X is the level): | |
94 * | |
95 * i > TierXInvocationThreshold * s || (i > TierXMinInvocationThreshold * s && i + b > TierXCompileThreshold * s), | |
96 * | |
97 * where $i$ is the number of method invocations, $b$ number of backedges and $s$ is the scaling | |
98 * coefficient that will be discussed further. | |
99 * The intuition is to equalize the time that is spend profiling each method. | |
100 * The same predicate is used to control the transition from level 3 to level 4 (C2). It should be | |
101 * noted though that the thresholds are relative. Moreover i and b for the 0->3 transition come | |

|
102 * from Method* and for 3->4 transition they come from MDO (since profiled invocations are |
2348 | 103 * counted separately). |
104 * | |
105 * OSR transitions are controlled simply with b > TierXBackEdgeThreshold * s predicates. | |
106 * | |
107 * - Tier?LoadFeedback options are used to automatically scale the predicates described above depending | |
108 * on the compiler load. The scaling coefficients are computed as follows: | |
109 * | |
110 * s = queue_size_X / (TierXLoadFeedback * compiler_count_X) + 1, | |
111 * | |
112 * where queue_size_X is the current size of the compiler queue of level X, and compiler_count_X | |
113 * is the number of level X compiler threads. | |
114 * | |
115 * Basically these parameters describe how many methods should be in the compile queue | |
116 * per compiler thread before the scaling coefficient increases by one. | |
117 * | |
118 * This feedback provides the mechanism to automatically control the flow of compilation requests | |
119 * depending on the machine speed, mutator load and other external factors. | |
120 * | |
121 * - Tier3DelayOn and Tier3DelayOff parameters control another important feedback loop. | |
122 * Consider the following observation: a method compiled with full profiling (level 3) | |
123 * is about 30% slower than a method at level 2 (just invocation and backedge counters, no MDO). | |
124 * Normally, the following transitions will occur: 0->3->4. The problem arises when the C2 queue | |
125 * gets congested and the 3->4 transition is delayed. While the method is the C2 queue it continues | |
126 * executing at level 3 for much longer time than is required by the predicate and at suboptimal speed. | |
127 * The idea is to dynamically change the behavior of the system in such a way that if a substantial | |
128 * load on C2 is detected we would first do the 0->2 transition allowing a method to run faster. | |
129 * And then when the load decreases to allow 2->3 transitions. | |
130 * | |
131 * Tier3Delay* parameters control this switching mechanism. | |
132 * Tier3DelayOn is the number of methods in the C2 queue per compiler thread after which the policy | |
133 * no longer does 0->3 transitions but does 0->2 transitions instead. | |
134 * Tier3DelayOff switches the original behavior back when the number of methods in the C2 queue | |
135 * per compiler thread falls below the specified amount. | |
136 * The hysteresis is necessary to avoid jitter. | |
137 * | |
138 * - TieredCompileTaskTimeout is the amount of time an idle method can spend in the compile queue. | |
139 * Basically, since we use the event rate d(i + b)/dt as a value of priority when selecting a method to | |
140 * compile from the compile queue, we also can detect stale methods for which the rate has been | |
141 * 0 for some time in the same iteration. Stale methods can appear in the queue when an application | |
142 * abruptly changes its behavior. | |
143 * | |
144 * - TieredStopAtLevel, is used mostly for testing. It allows to bypass the policy logic and stick | |
145 * to a given level. For example it's useful to set TieredStopAtLevel = 1 in order to compile everything | |
146 * with pure c1. | |
147 * | |
148 * - Tier0ProfilingStartPercentage allows the interpreter to start profiling when the inequalities in the | |
149 * 0->3 predicate are already exceeded by the given percentage but the level 3 version of the | |
150 * method is still not ready. We can even go directly from level 0 to 4 if c1 doesn't produce a compiled | |
151 * version in time. This reduces the overall transition to level 4 and decreases the startup time. | |
152 * Note that this behavior is also guarded by the Tier3Delay mechanism: when the c2 queue is too long | |
153 * these is not reason to start profiling prematurely. | |
154 * | |
155 * - TieredRateUpdateMinTime and TieredRateUpdateMaxTime are parameters of the rate computation. | |
156 * Basically, the rate is not computed more frequently than TieredRateUpdateMinTime and is considered | |
157 * to be zero if no events occurred in TieredRateUpdateMaxTime. | |
