Compiler Changelog

This changelog summarizes newly introduced optimizations that may be relevant to other teams.

Version 22.2.0

  • (GR-23737): New global value numbering optimization for fixed nodes early in the compilation pipeline. Early global value numbering and loop invariant code motion is enabled per default. Disable early global value numbering with -Dgraal.EarlyGVN=false. Disable early loop invariant code motion with -Dgraal.EarlyLICM=false.
  • (GR-16452): Compute the code emission basic block order after backend control flow optimizations.
  • (GR-35033): Enable floating and global value numbering of division nodes early on in the compilation pipeline if it is known they will not trap.

Version 22.1.0

  • (GR-36751): Removed the DuplicateIrreducibleLoops option. To disable irreducible loop handling, set -Dgraal.MaxDuplicationFactor to a value less than or equal to 1. For AOT compilations, the effort spent to handle irreducible loops is boosted to let Native Image support more programs with irreducible loops.

Version 22.0.0

  • (GR-22707) (GR-30838): New, inner loops first, reverse post order and loop frequency calculations for the compiler.

Version 21.2.0

  • (GR-29770) Loop safepoint elimination: Not only consider 32bit loops for safepoint removal but also 64bit ones that iterate in 32bit ranges.
  • (GR-29341) AVX-512 support: Fix EVEX encoding and feature checks for existing instructions and add AVX-512 alternatives.
  • (GR-31162) Do not de-duplicate ValueAnchorNode. As part of this change, there is a new marker interface NodeWithIdentity to mark nodes that have identity.
  • (GR-8974) Speculative guard movement: An optimization that tries to move a loop invariant guard (e.g., an array bounds check) inside a loop to outside of the loop. Disable with -Dgraal.SpeculativeGuardMovement=false. Included in this change is enhanced output for -Dgraal.ShowConfiguration=verbose in terms of showing the compilation phases of a compiler configuration.
  • (GR-31031) Add intrinsic for Reference.refersTo and PhantomReference.refersTo.
  • (GR-31059) Permit unusually structured locking in Kotlin coroutines.

Version 21.1.0

  • (GR-29126) Unify box optimizations in the compiler. Remove -Dgraal.ReuseOutOfCacheBoxedValues=false.
  • (GR-28523) Optimize Box nodes: Optimizes box operations by re-using boxed representations if the value of the boxed primitive is outside of the cache range of the Int/Long/Short/Char caches. Box node optimization is enabled per default. Disable it with -Dgraal.ReuseOutOfCacheBoxedValues=false.
  • (GR-29373) Eliminate unneeded STORE_LOAD barriers on sequential volatile writes on x86. This improves ConcurrentHashMap performance.
  • (GR-29337) Volatile loads were losing type information about the underlying field, resulting in unneeded casts. This improves ConcurrentHashMap performance.
  • (GR-28956) Use more informative ProfileData objects instead of raw branch probabilities and loop frequencies.
