Coding Neon Kernels for the Cortex-A53

A53 is not a great core, and seemingly no compiler targets it well. Back at el goog, ChromeOS team had an intern who used a cycle-accurate model of it to find that android's AOT compiler produced shit code for it when multiplies were involved. A small patch to the AOT compiler produced measurable perf improvement in most android workloads on A53, costing no perf on A57/A72. This patch was, of course, not shipped (politics).

BoingBoomTschak•3h ago

Could you expand on the "politics" part? I can't imagine the reason why. I mean, if you had said "suits thought this wasn't business relevant" or something, I'd have believed it.

dmitrygr•3h ago

The intern was in the ChromeOS team, the fix would have needed to go into android. Those two teams were always in a bit of "stay in your lane, buddy" relationship.

I continue to maintain that Google should adopt negative peer bonuses

And that will result increased tension between the teams “downvoting each other”.

Maybe this way Google will truly become a Microsoft-type of company.

I thought the fabled monorepo was supposed to prevent this?

nullpoint420•1h ago

IIRC, both Android and Chrome(OS) upstream are not in the google3 monorepo.
