     10 // This file defines the interface for the MachineTraceMetrics analysis pass
     11 // that estimates CPU resource usage and critical data dependency paths through
     12 // preferred traces. This is useful for super-scalar CPUs where execution speed
     13 // can be limited both by data dependencies and by limited execution resources.
     14 //
     15 // Out-of-order CPUs will often be executing instructions from multiple basic
     16 // blocks at the same time. This makes it difficult to estimate the resource
     17 // usage accurately in a single basic block. Resources can be estimated better
     18 // by looking at a trace through the current basic block.
     19 //
     20 // For every block, the MachineTraceMetrics pass will pick a preferred trace
     21 // that passes through the block. The trace is chosen based on loop structure,
     22 // branch probabilities, and resource usage. The intention is to pick likely
     23 // traces that would be the most affected by code transformations.
     24 //
     25 // It is expensive to compute a full arbitrary trace for every block, so to
     26 // save some computations, traces are chosen to be convergent. This means that
     27 // if the traces through basic blocks A and B ever cross when moving away from
     28 // A and B, they never diverge again. This applies in both directions - If the
     29 // traces meet above A and B, they won't diverge when going further back.
     30 //
     31 // Traces tend to align with loops. The trace through a block in an inner loop
     32 // will begin at the loop entry block and end at a back edge. If there are
     33 // nested loops, the trace may begin and end at those instead.
     34 //
     35 // For each trace, we compute the critical path length, which is the number of
     36 // cycles required to execute the trace when execution is limited by data
     37 // dependencies only. We also compute the resource height, which is the number
     38 // of cycles required to execute all instructions in the trace when ignoring
     39 // data dependencies.
     40 //
     41 // Every instruction in the current block has a slack - the number of cycles
     42 // execution of the instruction can be delayed without extending the critical
     43 // path.
