More and more, but definitely not completely. I'd estimate that *most* calls are dispatched with indy, and of those about *half* are direct with recent commits. Methods that can bind all the way from caller to target must fit these criteria: * Fixed arity * No block passed (block passing tends to require extra structures my direct indy logic doesn't set up yet) * One of a handful of standard signatures (just having wired all up yet) And note that this only applies to plain calls like foo.bar; calls that perform dynamic dispatch but combined with other logic, like a.b += c, do not yet use indy at all. I did just land another revision that allows Ruby to Ruby calls meeting the above criteria to bind all the way through, and performance dropped precipitously: Stock JRuby: ~/projects/jruby ➔ JAVA_HOME=../mlvm/sources/build/bsd-i586/j2sdk-image/ jruby -X+C -J-XX:MaxInlineSize=150 -J-XX:InlineSmallCode=5000 bench/bench_fib_recursive.rb 10832040 0.354000 0.000000 0.354000 ( 0.284000) 832040 0.174000 0.000000 0.174000 ( 0.174000) 832040 0.173000 0.000000 0.173000 ( 0.173000) 832040 0.169000 0.000000 0.169000 ( 0.169000) 832040 0.173000 0.000000 0.173000 ( 0.173000) JRuby + indy, no ruby-to-ruby calls binding directly: ~/projects/jruby ➔ JAVA_HOME=../mlvm/sources/build/bsd-i586/j2sdk-image/ jruby -X+C -Xcompile.invokedynamic=true -J-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -J-XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic -J-XX:MaxInlineSize=150 -J-XX:InlineSmallCode=5000 bench/bench_fib_recursive.rb 10 832040 0.340000 0.000000 0.340000 ( 0.274000) 832040 0.150000 0.000000 0.150000 ( 0.150000) 832040 0.148000 0.000000 0.148000 ( 0.148000) 832040 0.147000 0.000000 0.147000 ( 0.147000) 832040 0.147000 0.000000 0.147000 ( 0.147000) JRuby + indy, ruby calls binding directly: ~/projects/jruby ➔ JAVA_HOME=../mlvm/sources/build/bsd-i586/j2sdk-image/ jruby -X+C -Xcompile.invokedynamic=true -J-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -J-XX:+EnableInvokeDynamic -J-XX:MaxInlineSize=150 -J-XX:InlineSmallCode=5000 bench/bench_fib_recursive.rb 10 832040 0.883000 0.000000 0.883000 ( 0.818000) 832040 0.463000 0.000000 0.463000 ( 0.463000) 832040 0.463000 0.000000 0.463000 ( 0.463000) 832040 0.472000 0.000000 0.472000 ( 0.473000) 832040 0.459000 0.000000 0.459000 ( 0.459000) I have not investigated asm output, but it seems pretty clear that something very bad happens when I bind directly rather than binding via JRuby DynamicMethod stubs. Indeed, in the Java trace, I do see GWT should up: at sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest.invoke_L4(MethodHandleImpl.java:982) at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) at sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest.invoke_L4(MethodHandleImpl.java:982) at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) at sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest.invoke_L4(MethodHandleImpl.java:982) at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) at sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest.invoke_L4(MethodHandleImpl.java:982) But the non-direct logic includes *even more* sun.dyn and JRuby calls in it. How can it be so much faster? A recursive "foo" call looks like this: at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) at ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0.call(ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0#foo:65535) at ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0.call(ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0#foo:65535) at sun.dyn.FilterGeneric$F6.invoke_F6(FilterGeneric.java:754) at sun.dyn.FilterGeneric$F5.invoke_F5(FilterGeneric.java:678) at sun.dyn.MethodHandleImpl$GuardWithTest.invoke_L4(MethodHandleImpl.java:982) at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) With JRuby's call-site caching logic: at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) at ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0.call(ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0#foo:65535) at ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0.call(ruby___dash_e__Invokermethod__0$RUBY$fooFixed0#foo:65535) at org.jruby.runtime.callsite.CachingCallSite.call(CachingCallSite.java:103) at ruby.__dash_e__.method__0$RUBY$foo(-e:1) And with JRuby's "dynopt" mode, which emits guard, target, and fallback logic directly into the compiled body: at rubyjit.foo_7F1E71544C0BFF52B6020F56F3C0D1A11E173AF5.__file__(-e:1) at rubyjit.foo_7F1E71544C0BFF52B6020F56F3C0D1A11E173AF5.__file__(-e:1) at rubyjit.foo_7F1E71544C0BFF52B6020F56F3C0D1A11E173AF5.__file__(-e:1) at rubyjit.foo_7F1E71544C0BFF52B6020F56F3C0D1A11E173AF5.__file__(-e:1) Needless to day, "dynopt" (which can only do this for recursive calls) is still fastest on the recursive fib and tak benchmarks, but I'm a little confused by the degradation from directly binding ruby-to-ruby calls with indy. Any flags I can toss in to get you JVM guys more info? And yes...this is all on JRuby master. Should be able to see the same effect right now. - Charlie _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
