我用C编写了一个简单的虚拟机,使用简单的指令切换,没有任何指令解码,但性能很差。
对于简单的aritmetic操作,对于相同的操作,VM比本机C代码慢大约4000倍。我测试了一组长度为1000万的数组,第一个包含程序指令,随机+ - * /操作,2个数组保存随机整数,第三个数组是操作目标存储。
我期待看到算术性能下降3-4倍,因此`4000x真的让我感到震惊。即使是最慢的解释语言似乎也能提供更高的性能。所以我的方法出错了,如何在不使用JIT编译到机器代码的情况下提高性能呢?
实施是......基本上我能想到的最简单:
begin:
{
switch (*(op+(c++)))
{
case 0:
add(in1+c, in2+c, out+c); goto begin;
case 1:
sub(in1+c, in2+c, out+c); goto begin;
case 2:
mul(in1+c, in2+c, out+c); goto begin;
case 3:
div(in1+c, in2+c, out+c); goto begin;
case 4:
cout << "end of program" << endl;
goto end;
default:
cout << "ERROR!!!" << endl;
}
}
end:
更新: 当我注意到我用来配置的QElapsedTimer实际上已被破坏时,我正在玩弄程序的长度。现在我正在使用clock()函数,根据它,计算的goto实际上与本机代码相同,可能稍微低一点。这个结果合法吗?这是完整的消息来源(我知道它很丑陋,它毕竟只是用于测试):
#include <QtGlobal>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
#define LENGTH 70000000
void add(int & a, int & b, int & r) {r = a * b;}
void sub(int & a, int & b, int & r) {r = a - b;}
void mul(int & a, int & b, int & r) {r = a * b;}
void div(int & a, int & b, int & r) {r = a / b;}
int main()
{
char * op = new char[LENGTH];
int * in1 = new int[LENGTH];
int * in2 = new int[LENGTH];
int * out = new int[LENGTH];
for (int i = 0; i < LENGTH; ++i)
{
*(op+i) = i % 4;
*(in1+i) = qrand();
*(in2+i) = qrand()+1;
}
*(op+LENGTH-1) = 4; // end of program
long long sClock, fClock;
unsigned int c = 0;
sClock = clock();
cout << "Program begins" << endl;

{
*(out+i) = *(in1+i) + *(in2+i);
*(out+i+1) = *(in1+i+1) - *(in2+i+1);
*(out+i+2) = *(in1+i+2) * *(in2+i+2);
*(out+i+3) = *(in1+i+3) / *(in2+i+3);
}
fClock = clock();
cout << fClock - sClock << endl;

return 0;
}
答案 0 :(得分:5)
