Hi Maciej, This PGO is done for the interpreted code not the JITed code. Yash would give more details on this. Part of reason prompted us to do this work is due to 80% of the CPU cycles being spent in interpreted mode, while running OpenStack Swift in a real world scaled cluster setup. We've got 2% gain from this PGO effort on OpenStack, which is not bad at all.

You can also try running with --jit off. This gives you an indication of the speed of interpreter, which is a part of warmup On Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 12:30 AM, Singh, Yashwardhan <yashwardhan.si...@intel.com> wrote: > Hi Armin, > > > Thanks for your feedback. > We ran one of the program suggested by you as an example for evaluation: > cd rpython/jit/tl > non-pgo-pypy ../../bin/rpython -O2 --source targettlr pgo-pypy > ../../bin/rpython -O2 --source targettlr > > We got the following results : > Non-Pgo pypy - > [Timer] Timings: > [Timer] annotate --- 7.5 s > [Timer] rtype_lltype --- 5.8 s > [Timer] backendopt_lltype --- 3.6 s > [Timer] stackcheckinsertion_lltype --- 0.1 s > [Timer] database_c --- 19.6 s > [Timer] source_c --- 2.6 s > [Timer] ========================================= > [Timer] Total: --- 39.2 s > > PGO-pypy : > [Timer] Timings: > [Timer] annotate --- 7.6 s > [Timer] rtype_lltype --- 5.1 s > [Timer] backendopt_lltype --- 3.1 s > [Timer] stackcheckinsertion_lltype --- 0.0 s > [Timer] database_c --- 18.5 s > [Timer] source_c --- 2.3 s > [Timer] ========================================= > [Timer] Total: --- 36.6 s > > The delta in performance between these two is about 8%. > > We are working on getting the data to identify the % of interpreted code vs > the jited code for both the binaries.

Maybe we can keep the tag info around somewhere else (a file in extradoc?) in case we ever need it again. Thanks for doing this!
