xref: /openbsd-src/gnu/llvm/compiler-rt/lib/tsan/benchmarks/vts_many_threads_bench.cpp (revision 3cab2bb3f667058bece8e38b12449a63a9d73c4b)

// Mini-benchmark for tsan VTS worst case performance
// Idea:
// 1) Spawn M + N threads (M >> N)
//    We'll call the 'M' threads as 'garbage threads'.
// 2) Make sure all threads have created thus no TIDs were reused
// 3) Join the garbage threads
// 4) Do many sync operations on the remaining N threads
//
// It turns out that due to O(M+N) VTS complexity the (4) is much slower with
// when N is large.
//
// Some numbers:
// a) clang++ native O1 with n_iterations=200kk takes
//      5s regardless of M
//    clang++ tsanv2 O1 with n_iterations=20kk takes
//      23.5s with M=200
//      11.5s with M=1
//    i.e. tsanv2 is ~23x to ~47x slower than native, depends on M.
// b) g++ native O1 with n_iterations=200kk takes
//      5.5s regardless of M
//    g++ tsanv1 O1 with n_iterations=2kk takes
//      39.5s with M=200
//      20.5s with M=1
//    i.e. tsanv1 is ~370x to ~720x slower than native, depends on M.
