Yes. But ignoring the UB for unexpectedly large vector components, the 1 / 1.111 / 1 / 2 scoring does not make much sense. The formulas "look" smooth and even sort of reasonable, but as soon as you look at what it *means*, and realise the domain if the function is discrete (only four or five possible inputs), and then see how the function behaves on that...

That is fine yes! (Well, V2DF the same I guess? Or you'll need very detailed commentary :-) ) It is fine to say "this is just a heuristic without much supporting theory" in places. That is what most of our --param= are as well, for example. If counting two-element vectors as twice as expensive as all other vectors helps performance, then so be it: if there is no better way to cost things (or we do not know one), then what else are we to do?

The costing framework of vectorization doesn't consider the dependent insn chain and available #unit etc. like local scheduling (it can't either), so we have to use some heuristics to handle some special cases. For more units vector construction, the used instructions are more. It has more chances to schedule them better (even run in parallelly when enough available units at the time), so we don't need to penalize more for them. For V2DI, the load result is fed into construction directly, the current stmt_cost is to consider merging and only 2, penalizing it with one is not enough from the bwaves experiment. >> + int nunits_log2 = exact_log2 (nunits); >> + gcc_assert (nunits_log2 > 0); >> + unsigned int nunits_sq = nunits_log2 * nunits_log2; > >> = 0 > > This of course is assuming nunits will always be a power of 2, but I'm > sure that we have many other places in the compiler assuming that > already, so that is fine.

This might be confusing to the reader, since you have deleted the
calculation of nunits * stmt_cost. Could you instead write this to
indicate that we used to adjust in this way, and it had this particular
downside, so that's why you're choosing this heuristic? It's a minor
thing but I think people reading the code will be confused otherwise.
I think the heuristic is generally reasonable, and certainly better than
what we had before!

[PATCH] rs6000: Modify the way for extra penalized cost
Hi,
This patch follows the discussion here[1], where Segher pointed
out the existing way to guard the extra penalized cost for
strided/elementwise loads with a magic bound doesn't scale.
The way with nunits * stmt_cost can get one much exaggerated
penalized cost, such as: for V16QI on P8, it's 16 * 20 = 320,
that's why we need one bound. To make it scale, this patch
doesn't use nunits * stmt_cost any more, but it still keeps
nunits since there are actually nunits scalar loads there. So
it uses one cost adjusted from stmt_cost, since the current
stmt_cost sort of considers nunits, we can stablize the cost
for big nunits and retain the cost for small nunits. After
some tries, this patch gets the adjusted cost as:
stmt_cost / (log2(nunits) * log2(nunits))
For V16QI, the adjusted cost would be 1 and total penalized
cost is 16, it isn't exaggerated. For V2DI, the adjusted
cost would be 2 and total penalized cost is 4, which is the
same as before. btw, I tried to use one single log2(nunits),
but the penalized cost is still big enough and can't fix the
degraded bmk blender_r.
The separated SPEC2017 evaluations on Power8, Power9 and Power10
at option sets O2-vect and Ofast-unroll showed this change is
neutral (that is same effect as before).
Bootstrapped and regress-tested on powerpc64le-linux-gnu Power9.
