The benchmark walks both ways through a large memory area and copies different sizes of memory and alignments one at a time instead of looping around in the same memory area. This is a good metric to have alongside the other memcpy benchmarks, especially for larger sizes where the likelihood of the call being done only once is pretty high. The benchmark is unlike other string benchmarks in that it prints the total data rate achieved during a walk across the memory and not the time taken per execution. * benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c: New file. * benchtests/Makefile (string-benchset): Add it. --- benchtests/Makefile | 3 +- benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c | 126 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 128 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c diff --git a/benchtests/Makefile b/benchtests/Makefile index a0c3470..fbdeadf 100644 --- a/benchtests/Makefile +++ b/benchtests/Makefile @@ -37,7 +37,8 @@ string-benchset := bcopy bzero memccpy memchr memcmp memcpy memmem memmove \ strcat strchr strchrnul strcmp strcpy strcspn strlen \ strncasecmp strncat strncmp strncpy strnlen strpbrk strrchr \ strspn strstr strcpy_chk stpcpy_chk memrchr strsep strtok \ - strcoll memcpy-large memcpy-random memmove-large memset-large + strcoll memcpy-large memcpy-random memmove-large memset-large \ + memcpy-walk # Build and run locale-dependent benchmarks only if we're building natively. ifeq (no,$(cross-compiling)) diff --git a/benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c b/benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..df6aa33 --- /dev/null +++ b/benchtests/bench-memcpy-walk.c @@ -0,0 +1,126 @@ +/* Measure memcpy function combined throughput for different alignments. + Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + This file is part of the GNU C Library. + + The GNU C Library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public + License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either + version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + + The GNU C Library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
