更新glibc后,std :: tan()速度极慢

标签: c++ linux performance gcc glibc

我有一个调用很多trig函数的C ++程序。它已经运行了一年多了。我最近安装了gcc-4.8,并且同样去了,更新了glibc。这导致我的程序减慢了几乎x1000倍。 Using gdb我发现减速的原因是调用std :: tan()。当参数是pi或pi / 2时,函数需要很长时间才能返回。

这是一个MWE,如果在没有优化的情况下编译就会重现问题(真实程序在有和没有-O2标志的情况下都有相同的问题)。

#include <cmath>

int main() {
    double pi = 3.141592653589793;
    double approxPi = 3.14159;
    double ret = 0.;

    for(int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i) ret = std::tan(pi); //Very slow
    for(int i = 0; i < 100000; ++i) ret = std::tan(approxPi); //Not slow
}

这是来自gdb的示例回溯(使用Ctrl + c随机中断程序后获得)。从调用tan开始,回溯在MWE和我的真实程序中是相同的。

我尝试在四个不同的系统上运行代码(MWE和真实程序)。其中两个是集群,我运行我的代码。两个是我的笔记本电脑。 MWE在其中一个集群和一台笔记本电脑上运行时没有问题。我检查了每个系统使用哪个版本的libm.so.6,以防相关。以下列表显示了系统描述(取自cat /etc/*-release),CPU是32位还是64位,MWE是否运行缓慢,最后是运行/lib/libc.so.6cat /proc/cpuinfo的输出。

我希望我能够提供足够的背景信息。这些是我的问题。

  1. 为什么std :: tan()转慢?
  2. 有没有办法将其恢复到正常速度?
  3. 我非常喜欢不需要安装/替换一堆库的解决方案。这可能适用于我的笔记本电脑,但我没有集群节点上的必要权限。

    更新#1: 我删除了关于将常数传递给棕褐色的观察结果,正如Sam Varshavchik所解释的那样。我将运行/lib/libc.so.6的输出添加到了我的系统列表中。还增加了第四个系统。至于时间,这里是time ./mwe循环(pi注释掉的approxPi的输出。

    real    0m11.483s
    user    0m11.465s
    sys 0m0.004s
    

    这是approxPi循环(pi已注释掉)。

    real    0m0.011s
    user    0m0.008s
    sys 0m0.000s
    

    更新#2: 对于每个系统,添加CPU是32位还是64位以及第一个核心的cat /proc/cpuinfo输出。

超越函数的准确性(三角函数和指数等)总是存在问题1

为什么某些trig函数调用比其他函数调用

对于三角函数的许多参数,存在快速近似,其为大多数参数产生高度准确的结果。然而,对于某些论证,近似可能是非常严重的错误。因此,需要采用更精确的方法,但这些方法需要更长的时间(正如您已经注意到的那样)。

为什么新库现在可能会变慢

很长一段时间以来,英特尔对其三维函数浮点版本的准确性提出了误导性的说法,称它们比实际上更准确2。这么多,glibc过去只有sin(double)作为fsin(float) 3的包装。您可能已升级到glibc版本,已纠正此错误。我不能代表AMD的libm,但它仍然可能依赖于三角函数浮点版本 45

怎么做

如果您想要速度并且不太精确,那么请使用tan(ftan)的浮动版本。否则,如果您需要准确性,那么您将使用较慢的方法。您可以做的最好的事情是缓存tan(pi)和tan(pi/2)的结果,并在您认为可能需要时使用预先计算的值。
