访问堆栈变量比解除引用指针慢?

标签: c++ performance testing stack heap

我运行了两个执行相同操作的测试:添加N个随机数。 Test_1在堆栈上使用int,Test_2在堆上使用int。令人惊讶的是,在我的机器上,Test_1运行在945ms左右,Test_2运行大约915ms(时间可能会有所不同,差异非常一致且明显)。什么可以解释如此显着的差异?我使用g ++和-O2和-O3。

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <chrono>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
  constexpr int N = 100000000;
  int x = 0; // TEST_1
  //int* p = new int; //TEST_2
  auto start_time = chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
  for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i)
  {
    x += rand(); //TEST_1
    //*p += rand(); // TEST_2
  }
  auto end_time = chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();

  cout << x << endl; // TEST_1
  //cout << *p << endl; //TEST_2
  cout << "Time: ";
  cout << chrono::duration_cast<chrono::milliseconds>(end_time - start_time).count() << endl;
}

使用优化编译器,无论它们在内存中的位置如何,对变量的访问都应该相同。编译器可以设置指针,然后取消引用指针以获取值。

其他因素:

  • 变量在程序空间之外,因此操作系统必须正确加载 记忆页面。
  • 硬件可能对不同的内存有不同的内存访问时间 地址范围。
  • 处理器的数据缓存通过存储值来扭曲结果。
