RVC by default?

Hello
Yes, it’s slightly unstable. even on fpga.
I have found I can compare results only from two consequential runs ( e.g. first run without RVC, second run with RVC), then some average result from iterations 5-15, removing some too slow results.
I think your results shows no perf gain from RVC, that’s expected as RVC gives no perf improvements for opcodes, only requiring less i-cache space.

Another interesting moment with RVC, I see some jdk failure only when RVC is enabled and only on fpga. ( on philosophers test)
it’s very strange, I will try to debug it and file a bug in JBS if it turns out to be a real jdk bug (or this could easily be a fpga "core" issue)

Regards, Vladimir

I gave its JMH version a two-day long run, exclusively, but the score varies in the 13000 ms/op range (iterations = 30 by default), even if RVC doesn't get turned on. Have you encountered the same issue?

> The current RVC support is okay but not complete: it only covers ~10% of total instructions emitted (mostly C2 code, including some part of Stub code), and we might want to transform instructions into the compressed counterparts as much as possible, so maybe the design will change from a whitelist mode (the class CompressibleRegion) to a black list mode. There is one implementation at my local branch https://github.com/zhengxiaolinX/jdk/commits/REBASE-rvc-beautify <https://github.com/zhengxiaolinX/jdk/commits/REBASE-rvc-beautify> (might not be stable yet, I have not gotten enough time to give it a sufficient test on jtregs and specjbb2015/other benchmarks yet). There are plans reserved to commit them (which cover ~20% of instructions under some tests) after reviewing, but this is currently WIP and waiting loom port to merge first.

I have given tests for specjbb2015 months before and found slight performance increase there; as far as I know, the compile time will increase for the transformation logic is extra overhead during the instruction emission phase, such as the code in Assembler::add. Theoretically, when running the compiled code with RVC turning on, though IPC and CPI are not changed, the code size shrinks; I think it should have the same effect as the icache size becoming larger. Maybe something goes wrong? :-) I might need to look into the performance problem in a high priority, so will test the Renaissance first.
