From 7400b063969bdca4a06cd97f1294d765c8eecbe1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Brivio Date: Sat, 7 Mar 2020 17:52:36 +0100 Subject: nft_set_pipapo: Introduce AVX2-based lookup implementation If the AVX2 set is available, we can exploit the repetitive characteristic of this algorithm to provide a fast, vectorised version by using 256-bit wide AVX2 operations for bucket loads and bitwise intersections. In most cases, this implementation consistently outperforms rbtree set instances despite the fact they are configured to use a given, single, ranged data type out of the ones used for performance measurements by the nft_concat_range.sh kselftest. That script, injecting packets directly on the ingoing device path with pktgen, reports, averaged over five runs on a single AMD Epyc 7402 thread (3.35GHz, 768 KiB L1D$, 12 MiB L2$), the figures below. CONFIG_RETPOLINE was not set here. Note that this is not a fair comparison over hash and rbtree set types: non-ranged entries (used to have a reference for hash types) would be matched faster than this, and matching on a single field only (which is the case for rbtree) is also significantly faster. However, it's not possible at the moment to choose this set type for non-ranged entries, and the current implementation also needs a few minor adjustments in order to match on less than two fields. ---------------.-----------------------------------.------------.
