A very interesting article that goes deeper into store-to-load forwarding than anything I’ve read before.
Sesse__•9mo ago
I find Clang generally a bit too eager to combine loads. This is especially bad when returning structs through the stack; you typically write them piecemeal in some function, return, and then the caller often wants to copy it from the stack into somewhere else, which it does with SIMD loads/stores.

This is a significant problem on AMD; Intel and Apple seems to be better.

> This is a significant problem on AMD; Intel and Apple seems to be better.

When did this change? In my testing years ago (while I was writing Rosetta 2, so Icelake-era Intel), Intel only allowed a load to forward from a single store, and no partial forwarding (i.e. mixed cache/register) without a huge penalty, whereas AMD at least allowed partial forwarding (or had a considerably lower penalty than Intel).

I don't know if AMD allows more or fewer _situations_, but empirically, I'm seeing a lot of total cycles lost to this on Zen 2 and 3, and much less on the Intel CPUs I've been testing (mostly Skylake derivatives and Alder Lake).

I haven't tested Zen 4 or 5, but I haven't heard anything that indicates they should be a lot better.

cwzwarich•9mo ago
Interesting! IIRC, the LLVM passes dedicated to dodging this issue were contributed by Intel engineers, so maybe there’s some bias.
