@ShriramShastry ShriramShastry commented May 27, 2024

Introduce a arithmetic bitwise saturation function operations across different integer sizes (8, 16, 24, 32 bits) in the
processing block.

  • Replaced if-else checks with bitwise masks to handle overflow and
    underflow for int32, int24, int16, and int8 saturation functions.

  • For each bit width, created masks by shifting the results of comparisons
    (x - MIN_VAL) and (MAX_VAL - x) to the respective overflow/underflow
    detection bits.

  • Mask >> 31 or >> 63 results in either 0 (no overflow/underflow) or -1
    (overflow/underflow occurred).

  • Applied bitwise operations to conditionally replace original values
    with boundary values (MIN or MAX) based on the computed masks.

  • This approach avoids branching, improves efficiency, and ensures
    accurate saturation within specified bit-width limits.

s is 16 bits, so casting it to 32 bits should be enough and should make this calculation faster. And yes, the external parentheses are redundant. And it actually doesn't matter where this calculation is made - here or where it was originally, right? So in its present form this change isn't improving anything

The sat_generic function avoids conditional branches and possible processor performance penalties by maintaining constant execution time through bitwise operations over branch instructions.

@ShriramShastry sorry, I think there's a mistake in your analysis, at least in the first screenshot. In it you show the execution of the sat_int32() function which of course is much smaller now. But we need to look at the sat_generic() function which I'm pretty sure will be larger and possibly slower than the present version.

OK,

Previously, the Original ( Before ) Function in GitHub used the branching if-else approach to calculate saturation. After that, the modified ( After ) function under review calculates saturation using bitwise arithmetic.

Observation :

The saturation function limits the input value to a certain range, specific to the bit width of the output (32-bit, 24-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit). The Cycles (Before) and Cycles (After) columns indicate the number of cycles it took to execute the function before and after some modification, respectively.

Here's a summary of the cycles before and after the modification :

sat_int32: No change (20 cycles both before and after)
sat_int24: Increased from 16 to 21 cycles
sat_int16: Increased from 13 to 21 cycles
sat_int8: Increased from 13 to 20 cycles

In summary, the modification resulted in an increase in the number of cycles for sat_int24, sat_int16, and sat_int8 functions, while the sat_int32 function's performance remained unchanged in terms of cycles.

[WIP] : The increased cycle counts observed for the 24-bit, 16-bit, and 8-bit saturation functions suggest there is room for further optimization. Employing 31- and 63-bit shifts to create masks enables us to identify overflow and underflow scenarios without the need for branching logic

Thank you, this matches my understanding, that those 64-bit calculations cannot result in better performance than a single comparison. Maybe this PR should be closed as a failed optimisation attempt

The performance gap has been addressed with the most recent modification, in which the Cycles (Original) Before and Cycles (Modified) After columns are used for performance cycle count, and the overall result is that there is no performance difference across 32, 24, 16 and 8-bit saturation.

Here's a summary of the cycles before and after the modification :

sat_int32: No change in cycle count before and after changes, resulting in 19 cycles.
sat_int24: No change in cycle count before and after changes, resulting in 16 cycles.
sat_int16: No change in cycle count before and after changes, resulting in 13 cycles.
sat_int8: No change in cycle count before and after changes, resulting in 13 cycles.

This check-in refactors saturation functions to use bitwise
operations for handling overflow and underflow, improving efficiency.

- Replaced if-else checks with bitwise masks to handle overflow and
  underflow for int32, int24, int16, and int8 saturation functions.

- For each bit width, created masks by shifting the results of comparisons
  (x - MIN_VAL) and (MAX_VAL - x) to the respective overflow/underflow
  detection bits.

- Mask >> 31 or >> 63 results in either 0 (no overflow/underflow) or -1
  (overflow/underflow occurred).

- Applied bitwise operations to conditionally replace original values
  with boundary values (MIN or MAX) based on the computed masks.

- This approach avoids branching, improves efficiency, and ensures
  accurate saturation within specified bit-width limits.

@ShriramShastry this is the sort of data we need for every change as its not really clear from all the table (there is too much data). We just need to know the before and after in a simplified form like your comment above.

Here's a summary of the cycles before and after the modification :

sat_int32: No change (20 cycles both before and after)
sat_int24: Increased from 16 to 21 cycles
sat_int16: Increased from 13 to 21 cycles
sat_int8: Increased from 13 to 20 cycles

Ok, so this looks like a small gain for int32, but a bigger loss for 24, 16 and 8 and means the PR should not be merged until we can show no loss for any format. Do you have a plan to rework ?

Thank you for your feedback on the recent changes. I would like to address your concerns regarding performance.

Summary of Changes
The performance evaluation indicates that there is no observable performance loss due to the recent changes. Below is a summary of results from the performance evaluation:

image

Benefits of the Optimization
The aim of this optimization was not solely to enhance performance but also to enhance code reliability and maintainability. Here are the key benefits of the bitwise approach:

Consistent Performance:

There is no performance degradation; the cycle counts before and after the optimization remain the same across all tested values.

Branch Prediction:

The use of bitwise operations eliminates branches, which can reduce the risk of branch mispredictions and enhance predictability in pipeline performance.

Code Clarity and Maintenance:

The bitwise approach makes the code more compact and potentially less error-prone, improving readability and future maintainability.

Future-proofing:

Branch-free code is often favored in modern compiler and processor optimizations, which might yield further advantages on future architectures.

Conclusion
To summarize, the optimization has no negative impact on performance, maintains the same cycle counts as the original implementation, and provides additional long-term benefits in terms of code quality and predictability. Therefore, this change does not degrade performance and is a worthwhile improvement.

Then you need to update the commit title and commit message. As they stand:

This approach avoids branching, improves efficiency, and ensures
accurate saturation within specified bit-width limits.

Was there some accuracy issue that this is fixing?

This seems missing from the commit message too:

which might yield further advantages on future architectures.

If this just a code clean-up then say "more readable code" and don't mention performance at all. If it's more than a clean-up then you need some data or reference. EDIT: it's not a clean-up at all, the new code is much harder to follow.

When x is big enough then (x - INT32_MIN) overflows, which is undefined behavior because it's signed.

Same overflow issue above when x is negative enough.

Signed overflow is undefined behavior:
https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT32-C.+Ensure+that+operations+on+signed+integers+do+not+result+in+overflow

Code like this is being banned from the Linux kernel right now for security reasons:
https://lwn.net/Articles/979747/

There are compiler flags to define it but that would introduce a very subtle and hard to track dependency. For what benefit?
https://www.gnu.org/software/c-intro-and-ref/manual/html_node/Signed-Overflow.html

Even ignoring undefined behavior, this code is much, much harder to follow than the previous one.

Yes- Please take a look at the low-level impacts through assembly comparision

The bitwise approach uses fewer branching instructions, making it more efficient as branch prediction may fail and cause pipeline stalls.

@ShriramShastry agree this should improve branch prediction and instruction pipeline throughput, but I think its best to show a real world test i.e. take a piece of FW code that is a heavy user of these APIs and place some timestamps around usage. The timestamps can then be measured before/after the changes with a real workload to show improvement.

Thank you for your feedback. Marc.

I thank your attention to the complexity and stability provided by bitwise operations. However, I believe there might be a misunderstanding regarding the definition and implications of "undefined behavior" (UB) in the context of signed integer overflow.

Explanation:
Undefined Behavior (UB):

I went over the links shared above, In C and C++, "undefined behavior" refers to a situation where the language specification does not define what should happen. This can lead to unpredictable results as the compiler is free to generate any code for UB constructs.
A classic case of UB in C is signed integer overflow. For example, adding two large int32_t values that exceed the range of int32_t can result in UB because the C standard does not define the outcome of overflow for signed integers. https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/INT32-C.+Ensure+that+operations+on+signed+integers+do+not+result+in+overflow#NoncompliantCodeExample

Bitwise Operations:
The bitwise operations used in the provided code ensure that values are clamped/bounded within their respective ranges without causing overflow, thereby ensuring predictable behavior.

For example, the code for sat_int32:

static inline int32_t sat_int32(int64_t x) {
    int64_t mask_overflow = (INT32_MAX - x) >> 63;
    int64_t mask_underflow = (x - INT32_MIN) >> 63;

    x = (x & ~mask_overflow) | (INT32_MAX & mask_overflow);
    x = (x & ~mask_underflow) | (INT32_MIN & mask_underflow);
    return (int32_t)x;
}

Here, bitwise operations are used to safely bound int64_t values to the int32_t range, avoiding the issues of signed overflow.

Understanding in Assembly:
While undefined behavior often has unpredictable and compiler-dependent outcomes, bitwise operations tend to translate directly to assembly without causing UB.
Ensuring signed overflows are handled in C code avoids reliance on compiler-specific behavior and promotes consistent, predictable execution across different platforms.

Summary:
Bitwise operations provide a robust way to handle out-of-range values, preventing undefined behavior stemming from signed integer overflow in C. This ensures predictable, stable, and portable code execution.

If there is an aspect I might have overlooked regarding the specific implications on assembly code or if you meant something different by undefined behavior, please let me know, and I can address it further.

Yes- Please take a look at the low-level impacts through assembly comparison

Assembly differences are interesting but they're not answering the question. The question was "Does this matter? (and how much)". For this sort of optimization to matter you need:

  1. A branch predictor
  2. A branch prediction which is difficult to make and often enough wrong
  3. A long enough pipeline
  4. Code in the critical path

Most performance optimizations tend to be very "cruel" because they're correct in theory and they don't matter in practice. That's what Donald Knuth meant when he wrote "premature optimization is the root of all evil" https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Donald_Knuth

I did a performance comparison with git main vs main + #9170 with TGL build with gcc and xcc. The gcc build currently can't run enabled DRC (reason unknown, a regression or just too much load) so I used different configurations for hw:0,0 playback on sof-hda-generic-4ch.tplg

GCC (gain 1.1 44, gain 2.1 44, EQIIR eq_iir_flat.txt, EQFIR eq_fir_flat.txt, DRC passthrough.txt off)

So... I hate to say it but I'm pretty sure this change is just a big noop to the optimizer. Here's some test code that extracts the two variants in individually compilable form, and a just-non-trivial-enough outer loop to let the compiler try to use the code in a natural setting. And the generated code from xt-clang (RI-2022.10, at -Os) is essentially identical. Both variants reduce to SALTU instructions. There is no branching in the current code nor masking in the new one; the compiler is smart enough to recognize what's happening.

#define INT_MAX 0x7fffffff
#define INT_MIN 0x80000000

static inline int sat32_cmp(long long x)
{
	return x > INT_MAX ? INT_MAX : (x < INT_MIN ? INT_MIN : x);
}

static inline int sat32_mask(long long x)
{
	long long mask_overflow = (INT_MAX - x) >> 63;
	long long mask_underflow = (x - INT_MIN) >> 63;

	x = (x & ~mask_overflow) | (INT_MAX & mask_overflow);
	x = (x & ~mask_underflow) | (INT_MIN & mask_underflow);
	return (int) x;
}

void sat_array_add_cmp(int *dst, int *a, int *b, int n)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
		dst[i] = sat32_cmp(a[i] + (long long) b[i]);
	}
}

void sat_array_add_mask(int *dst, int *a, int *b, int n)
{
	for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
		dst[i] = sat32_mask(a[i] + (long long) b[i]);
	}
}

And indeed, gcc[1] is not smart enough to figure it out, and emits the code more or less as written. But... honestly my read is that the branch-based code is better and not worse. It's a lot fewer instructions, and Xtensa pipelines are really short in practice. Certainly I've never bumped up against branch stalls as a performance case myself; most branches are very cheap.

[1] Also a clang I have built from the Espressif LLVM tree that I've been playing with. It actually appears to build Zephyr for SOF targets pretty well, if anything slightly better code than gcc, and all the variants can go in one toolchain instead of N. I need to get that cleaned up and submitted somewhere, with a writeup for Zephyr...
