Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy improve-rbigint: Attempt to improve division by
 porting Cpythons new algorithm,
 it cuts division time by 30%. And also improve divrem1 by just casting the
 value, a small speed increase when // 3.

Log:	Attempt to improve division by porting Cpythons new algorithm, it
	cuts division time by 30%. And also improve divrem1 by just casting
	the value, a small speed increase when // 3.

	Note: The CPython algorithm currently doesn't pass tests and need to
	be looked at

+To change versions of CPython (to Python3, another version of Python, or later

 \begin{itemize}
- \item

-The paper is structured as follows:
+The set of central concepts upon which this work is based is described in
+Section~\ref{sec:Background}, such as the PyPy project, the RPython language
+and its meta-tracing JIT. Based on these concepts in Section~\ref{sec:Resume
+Data} we proceed to describe for PyPy's tracing JIT the details of guards in
+the frontend\bivab{better term for this?} related to recording and storing the
+information required to restore the interpreter state in case of a guard
+failure, once the frontend has traced and optimized a loop it invokes the
+backend to compile the operations to machine code, Section \ref{sec:Guards in
+the Backend} describes the low-level aspects of how guards are implemented in
+the JIT-backend. The frequency of guards and the overhead associated with the
+implementation described in this paper is discussed in
+Section~\ref{sec:evaluation}. Section~\ref{sec:Related Work} presents an
+overview about how guards are treated in the context of other just-in-time
+compilers. Finally Section~\ref{sec:Conclusion} summarizes our conclusions and
+gives an outlook on further research topics.

+Although there are several publications about tracing just-in-time compilers,
+to our knowledge, there are none that describe deoptimization and the use and

 Based on the informal observation that guards are among the most common
 operations in the traces produced by PyPy's tracing JIT and that guards are
 operations that are associated with an overhead to maintain information about
-state to be able to rebuild it, our goal is to present concrete numbers for the
-frequency and the overhead produced by guards, explain how they are implemented
-in the different levels of PyPy's tracing JIT and explain the rationale behind
-the design decisions based on the numbers.
-As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:ops_count} guards account for 14.42\% to
-22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\% to 20.12\% of after the
-optimization pass over the traced and compiled paths of the benchmarks.
-Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} shows the absolute number of operations for each
-benchmark, for every guard that stays alive after optimization there are
-several kinds of metadata created and stored at different levels of the JIT to
-be able to rebuild the interpreter or tracer state from a guard failure making
-the optimization \bivab{some good word} of guards an important aspect of the
-low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.

+state to be able to rebuild the execution state in case of deoptimization, our
+goal is to present concrete numbers for the frequency and the overhead produced
+by guards, explain how they are implemented in the different levels of PyPy's
+tracing JIT and explain the rationale behind the design decisions based on the
+numbers.
+
+The operations executed by an interpreter are recorded by the tracing JIT in
+case they are frequently executed, this process is described in more detail in
+Section~\ref{sec:Resume Data}, during the recording phase special operations,
+\texttt{guards}, are inserted into the recorded trace at all points where
+control flow could diverge. As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent}
+guards account for 14.42\% to 22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\%
+to 20.12\% of the operations after the optimization pass over the traced and
+compiled parts of the benchmarks, making guards one of the most common
+operations. Many of these guards fail rarely on not all during execution. Given
+that associated with each guard information is stored, that is required to
+rebuild the execution state in case control flow diverges from the recorded
+path at a guard it is important to store the information associated with the
+guards in a manner that tries to keep the overhead for storing the information
+low while avoiding to put a burden on the execution of the recorded trace,
+making the optimization of guards an important aspect of
+the low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.

+Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} shows that as can also be seen on
+Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent} the optimization rate for guards is on par with
+the average optimization rate for all operations in a trace. After optimization
+the amount of guards left in the trace still represents about 15.18\% to
+20.22\% of the operation, a bit less than before the optimization where guards
+represented between 15.85\% and 22.48\% of the operations. After performing the
+optimizations the most common operations are those that are difficult or
+impossible to optimize, such as JIT internal operations and different types of
+calls. These account for 14.53\% to 18.84\% of the operations before and for
+28.69\% to 46.60\% of the operations after optimization. These numbers show
+that about one fifth of the operations, making guards one of the most common
+operations, that are compiled are guards and have associated with them the
+high- and low-level datastructes that are reconstruct the state.

+Figure~\ref{fig:backend_data}. It shows the total memory consumption of the
+code and of the data generated by the machine code backend for the different
+benchmarks mentioned above. The size of the machine code is composed of the
+size of the compiled operations, the trampolines generated for the guards and a
+set of support functions that are generated when the JIT starts and are shared
+by all compiled traces. The size of the \texttt{low-level resume data} is the
+size of the registers and stack to IR-level variable mappings and finally the
+size of the \texttt{resume data} is an approximation of the size of the
+compressed high-level resume data. While the \texttt{low-level resume data} has
+a size of about 15\% to 20\% of the generated instructions the \texttt{resume
+data} is even in the compressed form larger than the generated machine code.
+
+Tracing JITs compilers only compile a subset of the executed program so the
+amount of generated machine code will be smaller than for function based JITs.
+At the same time there is a several times larger overhead for keeping the
+resume information for the guards. The generated machine code accounts for
+20.21\% to 37.97\% of the size required for storing the different kinds of
+resume data.

-        #    i1 = force_token()
-        #    setfield_gc(p0, i1, ...)
-        #    call_may_force(...)
-        #
-        # In theory, fficall should take care of both force_token and
-        # setfield_gc.  However, the lazy setfield optimization in heap.py
-        # delays the setfield_gc, with the effect that fficall.py sees them in
-        # this order:
-        #    i1 = force_token()
-        #    call_may_force(...)
-        #    setfield_gc(p0, i1, ...)
-        #
-        # This means that see the setfield_gc only the call_may_force, when
-        # the optimization has already been done, and thus we need to take
-        # special care just of force_token.
-        #
-        # Finally, the method force_lazy_setfield in heap.py reorders the
-        # call_may_force and the setfield_gc, so the final result we get is
-        # again force_token/setfield_gc/call_may_force.
-        #
-        # However, note that nowadays we also allow to have any setfield_gc
-        # between libffi_prepare and libffi_call, so while the comment above
-        # it's a bit superfluous, it has been left there for future reference.

+Numpypy non-progress report
+===========================
+
+Hello everyone.
+
+Not much has happened in the past few months with numpypy development. A part
+of the reason was `doing other stuff`_ for me, a part of the reason was
+various unexpected visa-related admin, a part of the reason was EuroPython
+and a part was long-awaited holiday.
+
+The thing that's maybe worth mentioning is that it does not mean the donations
+disappeared in the mist. PyPy developers are being paid to work on NumPyPy on
+an hourly basis - that means if I decide to take holidays or work on something
+else, the money is simply staying in the account and waiting for someone to do
+the job.
+
+Thanks again for all the donations, I hope to get back to this topic soon!
+
+Cheers,
+fijal

+CFFI release 0.2
+================
+
+Hi everybody,
+
+We released `CFFI 0.2`_ (now as a full release candidate).  CFFI is a
+way to call C from Python.
+
+This release is only for CPython 2.6 or 2.7.  PyPy support is coming in
+the ``ffi-backend`` branch, but not finished yet.  CPython 3.x would be
+easy but requires the help of someone.
+
+The package is available `on bitbucket`_ as well as `documented`_. You
+can also install it straight from the python package index (pip).
+
+.. _`on bitbucket`: https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi
+.. _`CFFI 0.2`: http://cffi.readthedocs.org
+.. _`documented`: http://cffi.readthedocs.org
+
+* Contains numerous small changes and support for more C-isms.
+
+* The biggest news is the support for `installing packages`__ that use
+  ``ffi.verify()`` on machines without a C compiler.  Arguably, this
+  lifts the last serious restriction for people to use CFFI.
+
+* Partial list of smaller changes:
+  
+  - mappings between 'wchar_t' and Python unicodes
+  
+  - the introduction of ffi.NULL
+  
+  - a possibly clearer API for ``ffi.new()``: e.g. ``ffi.new("int *")``
+    instead of ``ffi.new("int")``
+    
+  - and of course a plethora of smaller bug fixes
+
+* CFFI uses ``pkg-config`` to install itself if available.  This helps
+  locate ``libffi`` on modern Linuxes.  Mac OS/X support is available too
+  (see the detailed `installation instructions`__).  Win32 should work out
+  of the box.  Win64 has not been really tested yet.
+
+.. __: http://cffi.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html#distributing-modules-using-cffi

+Py3k status update #5
+---------------------
+
+This is the fifth status update about our work on the `py3k branch`_, which we
+can work on thanks to all of the people who donated_ to the `py3k proposal`_.
+
+Apart from the usual "fix shallow py3k-related bugs" part, most of my work in
+this iteration has been to fix the bootstrap logic of the interpreter, in
+particular to setup the initial ``sys.path``.
+
+Until few weeks ago, the logic to determine ``sys.path`` was written entirely
+at app-level in ``pypy/translator/goal/app_main.py``, which is automatically
+included inside the executable during translation.  The algorithm is more or
+less like this:
+
+  1. find the absolute path of the executable by looking at ``sys.argv[0]``
+     and cycling through all the directories in ``PATH``
+
+  2. starting from there, go up in the directory hierarchy until we find a
+     directory which contains ``lib-python`` and ``lib_pypy``
+
+This works fine for Python 2 where the paths and filenames are represented as
+8-bit strings, but it is a problem for Python 3 where we want to use unicode
+instead.  In particular, whenever we try to encode a 8-bit string into an
+unicode, PyPy asks the ``_codecs`` built-in module to find the suitable
+codec. Then, ``_codecs`` tries to import the ``encodings`` package, to list
+all the available encodings. ``encodings`` is a package of the standard
+library written in pure Python, so it is located inside
+``lib-python/3.2``. But at this point in time we yet have to add
+``lib-python/3.2`` to ``sys.path``, so the import fails.  Bootstrap problem!
+
+The hard part was to find the problem: since it is an error which happens so
+early, the interpreter is not even able to display a traceback, because it
+cannot yet import ``traceback.py``. The only way to debug it was through some
+carefully placed ``print`` statement and the help of ``gdb``. Once found the
+problem, the solution was as easy as moving part of the logic to RPython,
+where we don't have bootstrap problems.
+
+Once the problem was fixed, I was able to finally run all the CPython test
+against the compiled PyPy.  As expected there are lots of failures, and fixing
+them will be the topic of my next months.

+Multicore programming in Python
+===============================
+
+Hi all,
+
+This is a short "position paper" kind of post about my view (Armin
+Rigo's) on the future of multicore programming.  It is a summary of the
+keynote presentation at EuroPython.  As I learned by talking with people
+afterwards, I am not a good enough speaker to manage to convey a deeper
+message in a 20-minutes talk.  I will try instead to convey it in a
+150-lines post...
+
+This is fundamentally about three points, which can be summarized as
+follow:
+
+1. We often hear about people wanting a version of Python running without
+   the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL): a "GIL-less Python".  But what we
+   programmers really need is not just a GIL-less Python --- we need a
+   higher-level way to write multithreaded programs than using directly
+   threads and locks.  One way is Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME), which
+   would give us an "AME Python".
+
+2. A good enough Software Transactional Memory (STM) system can do that.
+   This is what we are building into PyPy: an "AME PyPy".
+
+3. The picture is darker for CPython, though there is a way too.  The
+   problem is that when we say STM, we think about either GCC 4.7's STM
+   support, or Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM).  However, both
+   solutions are enough for a "GIL-less CPython", but not
+   for "AME CPython", due to capacity limitations.  For the latter, we
+   need somehow to add some large-scale STM into the compiler.
+
+Let me explain these points in more details.
+
+
+GIL-less versus AME
+-------------------
+
+The first point is in favor of the so-called Automatic Mutual Exclusion
+approach.  The issue with using threads (in any language with or without
+a GIL) is that threads are fundamentally non-deterministic.  In other
+words, the programs' behaviors are not reproductible at all, and worse,
+we cannot even reason about it --- it becomes quickly messy.  We would
+have to consider all possible combinations of code paths and timings,
+and we cannot hope to write tests that cover all combinations.  This
+fact is often documented as one of the main blockers towards writing
+successful multithreaded applications.
+
+We need to solve this issue with a higher-level solution.  Such
+solutions exist theoretically, and Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME) is
+one of them.  The idea of AME is that we divide the execution of each
+thread into a number of "blocks".  Each block is well-delimited and
+typically large.  Each block runs atomically, as if it acquired a GIL
+for its whole duration.  The trick is that internally we use
+Transactional Memory, which is a a technique that lets the interpreter
+run the blocks from each thread in parallel, while giving the programmer
+the illusion that the blocks have been run in some global serialized
+order.
+
+This doesn't magically solve all possible issues, but it helps a lot: it
+is far easier to reason in terms of a random ordering of large blocks
+than in terms of a random ordering of individual instructions.  For
+example, a program might contain a loop over all keys of a dictionary,
+performing some "mostly-independent" work on each value.  By using the
+technique described here, putting each piece of work in one "block"
+running in one thread of a pool, we get exactly the same effect: the
+pieces of work still appear to run in some global serialized order, in
+some random order (as it is anyway when iterating over the keys of a
+dictionary).  There are even techniques building on top of AME that can
+be used to force the order of the blocks, if needed.
+
+
+PyPy and STM
+------------
+
+Talking more precisely about PyPy: the current prototype ``pypy-stm`` is
+doing precisely this.  The length of the "blocks" above is selected in
+one of two ways: either we have blocks corresponding to some small
+number of bytecodes (in which case we have merely a GIL-less Python); or
+we have blocks that are specified explicitly by the programmer using
+``with thread.atomic:``.  The latter gives typically long-running
+blocks.  It allows us to build the higher-level solution sought after:
+it will run most of our Python code in multiple threads but always
+within a ``thread.atomic`` block, e.g. using a pool of threads.
+
+This gives the nice illusion of a global serialized order, and thus
+gives us a well-behaving model of our program's behavior.  The drawback
+is that we will usually have to detect and locate places that cause too
+many "conflicts" in the Transactional Memory sense.  A conflict causes
+the execution of one block of code to be aborted and restarted.
+Although the process is transparent, if it occurs more than
+occasionally, then it has a negative impact on performance.  We will
+need better tools to deal with them.
+
+The point here is that at any stage of this "improvement" process our
+program is *correct*, while it may not be yet as efficient as it could
+be.  This is the opposite of regular multithreading, where programs are
+efficient but not as correct as they could be.  In other words, as we
+all know, we only have resources to do the easy 80% of the work and not
+the remaining hard 20%.  So in this model you get a program that has 80%
+of the theoretical maximum of performance and it's fine.  In the regular
+multithreading model we would instead only manage to remove 80% of the
+bugs, and we are left with obscure rare crashes.
+
+
+CPython and HTM
+---------------
+
+Couldn't we do the same for CPython?  The problem here is that, at
+first, it seems we would need to change literally all places of the
+CPython C sources in order to implement STM.  Assuming that this is far
+too big for anyone to handle, we are left with three other options:
+
+- We could use GCC 4.7, which supports some form of STM.
+
+- We wait until Intel's next generation of CPUs comes out ("Haswell")
+  and use HTM.
+
+- We could write our own C code transformation (e.g. within a compiler
+  like LLVM).
+
+The issue with the first two solutions is the same one: they are meant
+to support small-scale transactions, but not long-running ones.  For
+example, I have no clue how to give GCC rules about performing I/O in a
+transaction --- this seems not supported at all; and moreover looking at
+the STM library that is available so far to be linked with the compiled
+program, it assumes short transactions only.
+
+Intel's HTM solution is both more flexible and more strictly limited.
+In one word, the transaction boundaries are given by a pair of special
+CPU instructions that make the CPU enter or leave "transactional" mode.
+If the transaction aborts, the CPU cancels any change, rolls back to the
+"enter" instruction and causes this instruction to return an error code
+instead of re-entering transactional mode (a bit like a ``fork()``).
+The software then detects the error code; typically, if only a few
+transactions end up being too long, it is fine to fall back to a
+GIL-like solution just to do these transactions.
+
+About the implementation: this is done by recording all the changes that
+a transaction wants to do to the main memory, and keeping them invisible
+to other CPUs.  This is "easily" achieved by keeping them inside this
+CPU's local cache; rolling back is then just a matter of discarding a
+part of this cache without committing it to memory.  From this point of
+view, there is a lot to bet that we are actually talking about the
+regular per-core Level 1 cache --- so any transaction that cannot fully
+store its read and written data in the 32-64KB of the L1 cache will
+abort.
+
+So what does it mean?  A Python interpreter overflows the L1 cache of
+the CPU very quickly: just creating new Python function frames takes a
+lot of memory (on the order of magnitude of 1/100 of the whole L1
+cache).  This means that as long as the HTM support is limited to L1
+caches, it is not going to be enough to run an "AME Python" with any
+sort of medium-to-long transaction (running for 0.01 second or longer).
+It can run a "GIL-less Python", though: just running a few dozen
+bytecodes at a time should fit in the L1 cache, for most bytecodes.
+
+
+Write your own STM for C
+------------------------
+
+Let's discuss now the third option: if neither GCC 4.7 nor HTM are
+sufficient for an "AME CPython", then this third choice would be to
+write our own C compiler patch (as either extra work on GCC 4.7, or an
+extra pass to LLVM, for example).
+
+We would have to deal with the fact that we get low-level information,
+and somehow need to preserve interesting high-level bits through the
+compiler up to the point at which our pass runs: for example, whether
+the field we read is immutable or not.  (This is important because some
+common objects are immutable, e.g. PyIntObject.  Immutable reads don't
+need to be recorded, whereas reads of mutable data must be protected
+against other threads modifying them.)  We can also have custom code to
+handle the reference counters: e.g. not consider it a conflict if
+multiple transactions have changed the same reference counter, but just
+resolve it automatically at commit time.  We are also free to handle I/O
+in the way we want.
+
+More generally, the advantage of this approach over the current GCC 4.7
+is that we control the whole process.  While this still looks like a lot
+of work, it looks doable.
+
+
+Conclusion?
+-----------
+
+I would assume that a programming model specific to PyPy and not
+applicable to CPython has little chances to catch on, as long as PyPy is
+not the main Python interpreter (which looks unlikely to change anytime
+soon).  Thus as long as only PyPy has STM, it looks like it will not
+become the main model of multicore usage in Python.  However, I can
+conclude with a more positive note than during EuroPython: there appears
+to be a more-or-less reasonable way forward to have an STM version of
+CPython too.

+
+
+Intbound optimization (1)
+-------------------------
+
+|example<| |small| intbound.py |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    def fn():
+        i = 0
+        while i < 5000:
+            i += 2
+        return i
+
+|end_example|
+
+Intbound optimization (2)
+--------------------------
+
+|scriptsize|
+|column1|
+|example<| |small| unoptimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    i17 = int_lt(i15, 5000)
+    guard_true(i17)
+    i19 = int_add_ovf(i15, 2)
+    guard_no_overflow()
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+
+|pause|
+
+|column2|
+|example<| |small| optimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    i17 = int_lt(i15, 5000)
+    guard_true(i17)
+    i19 = int_add(i15, 2)
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+|end_columns|
+|end_scriptsize|
+
+|pause|
+
+* It works **often**
+
+* array bound checking
+
+* intbound info propagates all over the trace
+
+
+Virtuals (1)
+-------------
+
+|example<| |small| virtuals.py |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    def fn():
+        i = 0
+        while i < 5000:
+            i += 2
+        return i
+
+|end_example|
+
+
+Virtuals (2)
+------------
+
+|scriptsize|
+|column1|
+|example<| |small| unoptimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    guard_class(p0, W_IntObject)
+    i1 = getfield_pure(p0, 'intval')
+    i2 = int_add(i1, 2)
+    p3 = new(W_IntObject)
+    setfield_gc(p3, i2, 'intval')
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+
+|pause|
+
+|column2|
+|example<| |small| optimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    i2 = int_add(i1, 2)
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+|end_columns|
+|end_scriptsize|
+
+|pause|
+
+* The most important optimization (TM)
+
+* It works both inside the trace and across the loop
+
+* It works for tons of cases
+
+  - e.g. function frames
+
+
+Constant folding (1)
+---------------------
+
+|example<| |small| constfold.py |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    def fn():
+        i = 0
+        while i < 5000:
+            i += 2
+        return i
+
+|end_example|
+
+
+Constant folding (2)
+--------------------
+
+|scriptsize|
+|column1|
+|example<| |small| unoptimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    i1 = getfield_pure(p0, 'intval')
+    i2 = getfield_pure(<W_Int(2)>, 
+                       'intval')
+    i3 = int_add(i1, i2)
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+
+|pause|
+
+|column2|
+|example<| |small| optimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    i1 = getfield_pure(p0, 'intval')
+    i3 = int_add(i1, 2)
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+|end_columns|
+|end_scriptsize|
+
+|pause|
+
+* It "finishes the job"
+
+* Works well together with other optimizations (e.g. virtuals)
+
+* It also does "normal, boring, static" constant-folding
+
+
+Out of line guards (1)
+-----------------------
+
+|example<| |small| outoflineguards.py |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    N = 2
+    def fn():
+        i = 0
+        while i < 5000:
+            i += N
+        return i
+
+|end_example|
+
+
+Out of line guards (2)
+----------------------
+
+|scriptsize|
+|column1|
+|example<| |small| unoptimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    quasiimmut_field(<Cell>, 'val')
+    guard_not_invalidated()
+    p0 = getfield_gc(<Cell>, 'val')
+    ...
+    i2 = getfield_pure(p0, 'intval')
+    i3 = int_add(i1, i2)
+
+|end_example|
+
+|pause|
+
+|column2|
+|example<| |small| optimized |end_small| |>|
+
+.. sourcecode:: python
+
+    ...
+    guard_not_invalidated()
+    ...
+    i3 = int_add(i1, 2)
+    ...
+
+|end_example|
+|end_columns|
+|end_scriptsize|
+
+|pause|
+
+* Python is too dynamic, but we don't care :-)
+
+* No overhead in assembler code
+
+* Used a bit "everywhere"
+
+* Credits to Mark Shannon
+
+  - for the name :-)

+Guards
+-------
+
+- guard_true
+
+- guard_false
+
+- guard_class
+
+- guard_no_overflow
+
+- **guard_value**
+
+Promotion
+---------
+
+- guard_value
+
+- specialize code
+
+- make sure not to **overspecialize**
+
+- example: type of objects
+
+- example: function code objects, ...
+
+Conclusion
+-----------
+
+- PyPy is cool :-)
+
+- Any question?

 \section{Introduction}
 
+In this paper we describe and analyze how deoptimization works in the context
+of tracing just-in-time compilers. What instructions are used in the
+intermediate and low-level representation of the JIT instructions and how these
+are implemented.
 
-The contributions of this paper are:
+Although there are several publications about tracing just-in-time compilers,
+to our knowledge, there are none that describe deoptimization and the use and
+implementation of guards in this context.
+
+Based on the informal observation that guards are among the most common
+operations in the traces produced by PyPy's tracing JIT and that guards are
+operations that are associated with an overhead to maintain information about
+state to be able to rebuild the execution state in case of deoptimization, our
+goal is to present concrete numbers for the frequency and the overhead produced
+by guards, explain how they are implemented in the different levels of PyPy's
+tracing JIT and explain the rationale behind the design decisions based on the
+numbers.
+
+The operations executed by an interpreter are recorded by the tracing JIT in
+case they are frequently executed, this process is described in more detail in
+Section~\ref{sec:Resume Data}, during the recording phase special operations,
+\texttt{guards}, are inserted into the recorded trace at all points where
+control flow could diverge. As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent}
+guards account for 14.42\% to 22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\%
+to 20.12\% of the operations after the optimization pass over the traced and
+compiled parts of the benchmarks, making guards one of the most common
+operations. Many of these guards fail rarely on not all during execution. Given
+that associated with each guard information is stored, that is required to
+rebuild the execution state in case control flow diverges from the recorded
+path at a guard it is important to store the information associated with the
+guards in a manner that tries to keep the overhead for storing the information
+low while avoiding to put a burden on the execution of the recorded trace,
+making the optimization of guards an important aspect of
+the low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.
+
+%Section~\ref{sec:Evaluation} presents Figures about the absolute number of
+%operations for each benchmark, and the overhead produced by the information
+%stored at the different levels for the guards
+In this paper we want to substantiate the aforementioned observations and
+describe based on them the reasoning behind and the implementation of guards in
+PyPy's tracing just-in-time compiler, the contributions of this paper are:
 \begin{itemize}
- \item
+  \item An analysis of guards in the context of PyPy's tracing JIT to
+  substantiate the aforementioned observation, based on a set of benchmarks.
+  \item We provide a detailed measurements about the frequency and the
+  overhead associated with guards.
+  \item We provide a description about how guards are implemented in the high\-
+  and low-level parts of the JIT and describe the rationale behind the design.
 \end{itemize}

+    \include{figures/guard_table}
+    \caption{Percentage of guards before and after optimization for different benchmarks}
+    \label{fig:guard_percent}
+\end{figure}
 
-The paper is structured as follows:
+The set of central concepts upon which this work is based is described in
+Section~\ref{sec:Background}, such as the PyPy project, the RPython language
+and its meta-tracing JIT. Based on these concepts in Section~\ref{sec:Resume
+Data} we proceed to describe for PyPy's tracing JIT the details of guards in
+the frontend\bivab{better term for this?} related to recording and storing the
+information required to restore the interpreter state in case of a guard
+failure, once the frontend has traced and optimized a loop it invokes the
+backend to compile the operations to machine code, Section \ref{sec:Guards in
+the Backend} describes the low-level aspects of how guards are implemented in
+the JIT-backend. The frequency of guards and the overhead associated with the
+implementation described in this paper is discussed in
+Section~\ref{sec:evaluation}. Section~\ref{sec:Related Work} presents an
+overview about how guards are treated in the context of other just-in-time
+compilers. Finally Section~\ref{sec:Conclusion} summarizes our conclusions and
+gives an outlook on further research topics.

+Since tracing linearizes control flow by following one concrete execution,
+not the full control flow of a program is observed.
+The possible points of deviation from the trace are guard operations
+that check whether the same assumptions observed during tracing still hold during execution.
+In later executions of the trace the guards can fail.
+If that happens, execution needs to continue in the interpreter.
+This means it is necessary to attach enough information to a guard
+to reconstruct the interpreter state when that guard fails.
+This information is called the \emph{resume data}.
+
+To do this reconstruction, it is necessary to take the values of the SSA
+variables of the trace and build interpreter stack frames.  Tracing
+aggressively inlines functions, therefore the reconstructed state of the
+interpreter can consist of several interpreter frames.
+
+If a guard fails often enough, a trace is started from it
+to create a trace tree.
+When that happens another use case of resume data
+is to construct the tracer state.
+
+There are several forces guiding the design of resume data handling.
+Guards are a very common operations in the traces.
+However, a large percentage of all operations
+are optimized away before code generation.
+Since there are a lot of guards
+the resume data needs to be stored in a very compact way.
+On the other hand, tracing should be as fast as possible,
+so the construction of resume data must not take too much time.
+
+\subsection{Capturing of Resume Data During Tracing}
+\label{sub:capturing}
+
+Every time a guard is recorded during tracing
+the tracer attaches preliminary resume data to it.
+The data is preliminary in that it is not particularly compact yet.
+The preliminary resume data takes the form of a stack of symbolic frames.
+The stack contains only those interpreter frames seen by the tracer.
+The frames are symbolic in that the local variables in the frames
+do not contain values.
+Instead, every local variables contains the SSA variable of the trace
+where the value would later come from, or a constant.
+
+\subsection{Compression of Resume Data}
+\label{sub:compression}
+
+The core idea of storing resume data as compactly as possible
+is to share parts of the data structure between subsequent guards.
+This is often useful because the density of guards in traces is so high,
+that quite often not much changes between them.
+Since resume data is a linked list of symbolic frames
+often only the information in the top frame changes from one guard to the next.
+The other frames can often be just reused.
+The reason for this is that during tracing only the variables
+of the currently executing frames can change.
+Therefore if two guards are generated from code in the same function
+the resume data of the rest of the stack can be reused.
+
+In addition to sharing as much as possible between subsequent guards
+a compact representation of the local variables of symbolic frames is used.
+Every variable in the symbolic frame is encoded using two bytes.
+Two bits are used as a tag to denote where the value of the variable
+comes from.
+The remaining 14 bits are a payload that depends on the tag bits.
+
+The possible source of information are:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+    \item For small integer constants
+        the payload contains the value of the constant.
+    \item For other constants
+        the payload contains an index into a per-loop list of constants.
+    \item For SSA variables,
+        the payload is the number of the variable.
+    \item For virtuals,
+        the payload is an index into a list of virtuals, see next section.
+\end{itemize}

+
+\subsection{Interaction With Optimization}
+\label{sub:optimization}
+
+Guards interact with optimizations in various ways.
+Most importantly optimizations try to remove as many operations
+and therefore guards as possible.
+This is done with many classical compiler optimizations.
+In particular guards can be removed by subexpression elimination.
+If the same guard is encountered a second time in the trace,
+the second one can be removed.
+This also works if a later guard is weaker implied by a earlier guard.
+
+One of the techniques in the optimizer specific to tracing for removing guards
+is guard strengthening~\cite{bebenita_spur:_2010}.
+The idea of guard strengthening is that if a later guard is stronger
+than an earlier guard it makes sense to move the stronger guard
+to the point of the earlier, weaker guard and to remove the weaker guard.
+Moving a guard to an earlier point is always valid,
+it just means that the guard fails earlier during the trace execution
+(the other direction is clearly not valid).
+
+The other important point of interaction between resume data and the optimizer
+is RPython's allocation removal optimization~\cite{bolz_allocation_2011}.
+This optimization discovers allocations in the trace that create objects
+that do not survive long.
+An example is the instance of \lstinline{Even} in the example\cfbolz{reference figure}.
+Allocation removal makes resume data more complex.
+Since allocations are removed from the trace it becomes necessary
+to reconstruct the objects that were not allocated so far when a guard fails.
+Therefore the resume data needs to store enough information
+to make this reconstruction possible.
+
+Adding this additional information is done as follows.
+So far, every variable in the symbolic frames
+contains a constant or an SSA variable.
+After allocation removal the variables in the symbolic frames can also contain
+``virtual'' objects.
+These are objects that were not allocated so far,
+because the optimizer removed their allocation.
+The virtual objects in the symbolic frames describe exactly
+how the heap objects that have to be allocated on guard failure look like.
+To this end, the content of every field of the virtual object is described
+in the same way that the local variables of symbolic frames are described.
+The fields of the virtual objects can therefore be SSA variables, constants
+or other virtual objects.
+They are encoded using the same compact two-byte representation
+as local variables.
+
+During the storing of resume data virtual objects are also shared
+between subsequent guards as much as possible.
+The same observation as about frames applies:
+Quite often a virtual object does not change from one guard to the next.
+Then the data structure is shared.
+
+Similarly, stores into the heap are delayed as long as possible.
+This can make it necessary to perform these delayed stores
+when leaving the trace via a guard.
+Therefore the resume data needs to contain a description
+of the delayed stores to be able to perform them when the guard fails.
+So far no special compression is done with this information.

-   * memory efficient encoding of low level resume data
-   * fast checks for guard conditions
-   * slow bail out
+After optimization the resulting trace is handed to the over platform specific
+backend to be compiled to machine code. The compilation phase consists of two
+passes over the lists of instructions, a backwards pass to calculate live
+ranges of IR-level variables and a forward one to emit the instructions. During
+the forward pass IR-level variables are assigned to registers and stack
+locations by the register allocator according to the requirements of the to be
+emitted instructions.  Eviction/spilling is performed based on the live range
+information collected in the first pass. Each IR instruction is transformed
+into one or more machine level instructions that implement the required
+semantics, operations withouth side effects whose result is not used are not
+emitted. Guards instructions are transformed into fast checks at the machine
+code level that verify the corresponding condition.  In cases the value being
+checked by the guard is not used anywhere else the guard and the operation
+producing the value can merged, reducing even more the overhead of the guard.
+Figure \ref{fig:trace-compiled} shows how an \texttt{int\_eq} operation
+followed by a guard that checks the result of the operation are compiled to
+pseudo-assembler if the operation and the guard are compiled separated or if
+they are merged.

+\end{figure}
+
+Each guard in the IR has attached to it a list of the IR-variables required to
+rebuild the execution state in case the trace is left through the side-exit
+corresponding to the guard. When a guard is compiled, additionally to the
+condition check two things are generated/compiled. First a special data
+structure called \emph{low-level resume data} is created that encodes the
+information provided by the register allocator about where the values
+corresponding to each IR-variable required by the guard will be stored when
+execution reaches the code emitted for the corresponding guard. \bivab{go into
+more detail here?!} This encoding needs to be as compact as possible to
+maintain an acceptable memory profile.
+
+\todo{example for low-level resume data showing how the current encoding works?}
+
+Second a piece of code is generated for each guard that acts as a trampoline.
+Guards are implemented as a conditional jump to this trampoline. In case the
+condition checked in the guard fails execution and a side-exit should be taken
+execution jumps to the trampoline. In the trampoline the pointer to the
+\emph{low-level resume data} is loaded and jumps to generic bail-out handler
+that is used to leave the compiled trace in case of a guard failure.
+
+Using the encoded location information the bail-out handler reads from the
+saved execution state the values that the IR-variables had  at the time of the
+guard failure and stores them in a location that can be read by the fronted.
+After saving the information the control is passed to the frontend signaling
+which guard failed so the frontend can read the information passed and restore
+the state corresponding to the point in the program.
+
+As in previous sections the underlying idea for the design of guards is to have
+a fast on-trace profile and a potentially slow one in the bail-out case where
+the execution takes one of the side exits due to a guard failure. At the same
+time the data stored in the backend needed to rebuild the state needs to be as
+compact as possible to reduce the memory overhead produced by the large number
+of guards, the numbers in Figure~\ref{fig:backend_data} illustrate that the
+compressed encoding currently has about 15\% to 25\% of the size of of the
+generated instructions on x86.
+
+As explained in previous sections, when a specific guard has failed often enough
+a new trace, referred to as a \emph{bridge}, starting from this guard is recorded and
+compiled. When compiling bridges the goal is that future failures of the guards
+that led to the compilation of the bridge should execute the bridge without
+additional overhead, in particular the failure of the guard should not lead
+to leaving the compiled code prior to execution the code of the bridge.
+
+The process of compiling a bridge is very similar to compiling a loop.
+Instructions and guards are processed in the same way as described above. The
+main difference is the setup phase. When compiling a trace we start with a clean
+slate. The compilation of a bridge is started from a state (register and stack
+bindings) that corresponds to the state during the compilation of the original
+guard. To restore the state needed to compile the bridge we use the encoded
+representation created for the guard to rebuild the bindings from IR-variables
+to stack locations and registers used in the register allocator.  With this
+reconstruction all bindings are restored to the state as they were in the
+original loop up to the guard.
+
+Once the bridge has been compiled the guard that led to compiling the birdge is
+patched to redirect control flow to the bridge in case the check fails. In
+future if the guard fails again it jumps to the code compiled for the bridge
+instead of bailing out. Once the guard has been compiled and attached to the
+loop the guard becomes just a point where control-flow can split. The loop
+after the guard and the bridge are just conditional paths.
+Figure~\ref{fig:trampoline} shows a digram of a compiled loop with two guards,
+Guard \#1 jumps to the trampoline, loads the \texttt{low level resume data} and
+then calls the compensation code, whereas Guard \#2 has already been patched
+and directly jumps to the corresponding bridge. The bridge also contains two
+guards that work based on the same principles.

+The results presented in this section are based on numbers gathered by running
+a subset of the standard PyPy benchmarks. The PyPy benchmarks are used to
+measure the performance of PyPy and are composed of a series of
+micro-benchmarks and larger programs.\footnote{http://speed.pypy.org/} The
+benchmarks were taken from the PyPy benchmarks repository using revision
+\texttt{ff7b35837d0f}.\footnote{https://bitbucket.org/pypy/benchmarks/src/ff7b35837d0f}
+The benchmarks were run on a version of PyPy based on the
+tag~\texttt{0b77afaafdd0} and patched to collect additional data about the
+guards in the machine code
+backends.\footnote{https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/src/0b77afaafdd0} All
+benchmark data was collected on a MacBook Pro 64 bit running Max OS 10.8 with
+the loop unrolling optimization disabled.\footnote{Since loop unrolling
+duplicates the body of loops it would no longer be possible to meaningfully
+compare the number of operations before and after optimization. Loop unrolling
+is most effective for numeric kernels, so the benchmarks presented here are not
+affected much by its absence.}
+
+Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} shows the total number of operations that are
+recorded during tracing for each of the benchmarks and what percentage of these
+are guards. Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} also shows the number of operations
+left after performing the different trace optimizations done by the trace
+optimizer, such as xxx. The last columns show the overall optimization rate and
+the optimization rate specific for guard operations, showing what percentage of
+the operations were removed during the optimizations phase.
+Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} shows that as can also be seen on
+Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent} the optimization rate for guards is on par with
+the average optimization rate for all operations in a trace. After optimization
+the amount of guards left in the trace still represents about 15.18\% to
+20.22\% of the operation, a bit less than before the optimization where guards
+represented between 15.85\% and 22.48\% of the operations. After performing the
+optimizations the most common operations are those that are difficult or
+impossible to optimize, such as JIT internal operations and different types of
+calls. These account for 14.53\% to 18.84\% of the operations before and for
+28.69\% to 46.60\% of the operations after optimization. These numbers show
+that about one fifth of the operations, making guards one of the most common
+operations, that are compiled are guards and have associated with them the
+high- and low-level datastructes that are reconstruct the state.

+size of the compiled operations, the trampolines generated for the guards and a
+set of support functions that are generated when the JIT starts and are shared
+by all compiled traces. The size of the \texttt{low-level resume data} is the
+size of the registers and stack to IR-level variable mappings and finally the
+size of the \texttt{resume data} is an approximation of the size of the

+\subsection{Guards in Other Tracing JITs}
+\label{sub:Guards in Other Tracing JITs}
+
+Guards as described are a concept associated with tracing just-in-time
+compilers to represent possible divergent control flow paths.
+
+SPUR~\cite{bebenita_spur:_2010} is a tracing JIT compiler
+for a C\# virtual machine.
+It handles guards by always generating code for every one of them
+that transfers control back to the unoptimized code.
+Since the transfer code needs to reconstruct the stack frames
+of the unoptimized code,
+the transfer code is quite large.
+
+Mike Pall, the author of LuaJIT describes in a post to the lua-users mailing
+list different technologies and techniques used in the implementation of
+LuaJIT~\cite{Pall:2009}.\todo{decide if LuaJIT is a footnote or a reference and
+fix website citation} Pall explains that guards in LuaJIT use a datastucture
+called snapshots, similar to PyPy's resume data, to store the information about
+how to rebuild the state from a side-exit using the information in the snapshot
+and the machine execution state. Pall also acknowledges that snapshot for
+guards are associated with a large memory footprint. The solution used in
+LuaJIT is to store sparse snapshots, avoiding the creation of snapshots for
+every guard to reduce memory pressure. Snapshots are only created for guards
+after updates to the global state, after control flow points from the original
+program and for guards that are likely to fail. As an outlook Pall mentions the
+plans to switch to compressed snapshots to further reduce redundancy.
+
+Linking side exits to pieces of later compiled machine code was described first
+in the context of Dynamo~\cite{Bala:2000wv} under the name of Fragment Linking.
+Once a new hot trace is emitted into the fragment cache it is linked to side
+exit that led to the compilation. Fragment Linking avoids the performance
+penalty involved in leaving the compiled and it to remove the compensation
+code used when restoring the machine state on a side exit.
+
+In~\cite{Gal:2006} Gal et. al describe that in the HotpathVM they experimented
+with having one generic compensation code block, like the RPython JIT, that
+uses a register variable mapping to restore the interpreter state. Later this
+was replaced by generating compensation code for each guard which produced a
+lower overhead in their benchmarks. HotpathVM also records secondary traces
+starting from failing guards that are connected directly to the original trace.
+Secondary traces are compiled by first restoring the register allocator state to
+the state at the side exit. The information is retrieved from a mapping stored
+in the guard that maps machine level registers and stack to Java level stack
+and variables.
+
+Gal et. al~\cite{Gal:2009ux} write about how TraceMonkey uses trace stitching
+to avoid th overhead of returning to the trace monitor and calling another
+trace when taking a side exit. In their approach it is required to write live
+values to an activation record before entering the new trace.
+
+% subsection Guards in Other Tracing JITs (end)
+
+\subsection{Deoptimization in Method-Based JITs}
+\label{sub:Deoptimization in Method-Based JITs}
+
+Deoptimization in method-based JITs is used if one of the assumptions
+of the code generated by a JIT-compiler changes.
+This is often the case when new code is added to the system,
+or when the programmer tries to debug the program.
+
+Deutsch et. al.~\cite{deutsch_efficient_1984} describe the use of stack descriptions
+to make it possible to do source-level debugging of JIT-compiled code.
+Self uses deoptimization to reach the same goal~\cite{XXX}.
+When a function is to be debugged, the optimized code version is left
+and one compiled without inlining and other optimizations is entered.
+Self uses scope descriptors to describe the frames
+that need to be re-created when leaving the optimized code.
+The scope descriptors are between 0.45 and 0.76 times
+the size of the generated machine code.
+
+Java Hotspot~\cite{paleczny_java_2001} contains a deoptimization framework that is used
+for debugging and when an uncommon trap is triggered.
+To be able to do this, Hotspot stores a mapping from optimized states
+back to the interpreter state at various deoptimization points.
+There is no discussion of the memory use of this information.
+
+The deoptimization information of Hotspot is extended
+to support correct behaviour
+when scalar replacement of fields is done for non-escaping objects~\cite{kotzmann_escape_2005}.
+The approach is extremely similar to how RPython's JIT handles virtual objects.
+For every object that is not allocated in the code,
+the deoptimization information contains a description
+of the content of the fields.
+When deoptimizing code, these objects are reallocated
+and their fields filled with the values
+described by the deoptimization information.
+The paper does not describe any attempts to store this information compactly.

These features of modern programming systems are among the most difficult to implement efficiently, even individually. A new implementation of the Smalltalk-80 system, hosted on a small microprocessor-based computer, achieves high performance while retaining complete (object code) compatibility with existing implementations. This paper discusses the most significant optimization techniques developed over the course of the project, many of which are applicable to other languages. The key idea is to represent certain runtime state (both code and data) in more than one form, and to convert between forms when needed.},

+	abstract = {Intense research on virtual machines has highlighted the need for flexible software architectures that allow quick evaluation of new design and implementation techniques. The interface between the compiler and runtime system is a principal factor in the flexibility of both components and is critical to enabling rapid pursuit of new optimizations and features. Although many virtual machines have demonstrated modularity for many components, significant dependencies often remain between the compiler and the runtime system components such as the object model and memory management system. This paper addresses this challenge with a carefully designed strict compiler-runtime interface and the {XIR} language. Instead of the compiler backend lowering object operations to machine operations using hard-wired runtime-specific logic, {XIR} allows the runtime system to implement this logic, simultaneously simplifying and separating the backend from runtime-system details. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of this compiler-runtime interface and the {XIR} language in the {C1X} dynamic compiler, a port of the {HotSpotTM} Client compiler. Our results show a significant reduction in backend complexity with {XIR} and an overall reduction in the compiler-runtime interface complexity while still generating comparable quality code with only minor impact on compilation time.},

Knowing which objects do not escape allows a compiler to perform aggressive {optimizations.This} paper presents a new intraprocedural and interprocedural algorithm for escape analysis in the context of dynamic compilation where the compiler has to cope with dynamic class loading and deoptimization. It was implemented for Sun Microsystems' Java {HotSpot&#8482;} client compiler and operates on an intermediate representation in {SSA} form. We introduce equi-escape sets for the efficient propagation of escape information between related objects. The analysis is used for scalar replacement of fields and synchronization removal, as well as for stack allocation of objects and fixed-sized arrays. The results of the interprocedural analysis support the compiler in inlining decisions and allow actual parameters to be allocated on the caller {stack.Under} certain circumstances, the Java {HotSpot&#8482;} {VM} is forced to stop executing a method's machine code and transfer control to the interpreter. This is called deoptimization. Since the interpreter does not know about the scalar replacement and synchronization removal performed by the compiler, the deoptimization framework was extended to reallocate and relock objects on demand.},

+	abstract = {Whenever an array element is accessed, Java virtual machines execute a compare instruction to ensure that the index value is within the valid bounds. This reduces the execution speed of Java programs. Array bounds check elimination identifies situations in which such checks are redundant and can be removed. We present an array bounds check elimination algorithm for the Java {HotSpot(TM)} {VM} based on static analysis in the just-in-time compiler. The algorithm works on an intermediate representation in static single assignment form and maintains conditions for index expressions. It fully removes bounds checks if it can be proven that they never fail. Whenever possible, it moves bounds checks out of loops. The static number of checks remains the same, but a check inside a loop is likely to be executed more often. If such a check fails, the executing program falls back to interpreted mode, avoiding the problem that an exception is thrown at the wrong place. The evaluation shows a speedup near to the theoretical maximum for the scientific {SciMark} benchmark suite and also significant improvements for some Java Grande benchmarks. The algorithm slightly increases the execution speed for the {SPECjvm98} benchmark suite. The evaluation of the {DaCapo} benchmarks shows that array bounds checks do not have a significant impact on the performance of object-oriented applications.},

+	abstract = {{SELF's} debugging system provides complete source-level debugging (expected behavior) with globally optimized code. It shields the debugger from optimizations performed by the compiler by dynamically deoptimizing code on demand. Deoptimization only affects the procedure activations that are actively being debugged; all other code runs at full speed. Deoptimization requires the compiler to supply debugging information at discrete interrupt points; the compiler can still perform extensive optimizations between interrupt points without affecting debuggability. At the same time, the inability to interrupt between interrupt points is invisible to the user. Our debugging system also handles programming changes during debugging. Again, the system provides expected behavior: it is possible to change a running program and immediately observe the effects of the change. Dynamic deoptimization transforms old compiled code (which may contain inlined copies of the old version of the changed procedure) into new versions reflecting the current source-level state. To the best of our knowledge, {SELF} is the first practical system providing full expected behavior with globally optimized code.},

Tracing {JIT} compilers can greatly speed up programs that spend most of their time in loops in which they take similar code paths. However, applying an unmodified tracing {JIT} to a program that is itself a bytecode interpreter results in very limited or no speedup. In this paper we show how to guide tracing {JIT} compilers to greatly improve the speed of bytecode interpreters. One crucial point is to unroll the bytecode dispatch loop, based on two kinds of hints provided by the implementer of the bytecode interpreter. We evaluate our technique by applying it to two {PyPy} interpreters: one is a small example, and the other one is the full Python interpreter.},

+	abstract = {Programming systems should be both responsive (to support rapid development) and efficient (to complete computations quickly). Pure object-oriented languages are harder to implement efficiently since they need optimization to achieve good performance. Unfortunately, optimization conflicts with interactive responsiveness because it tends to produce long compilation pauses, leading to unresponsive programming environments. Therefore, to achieve good responsiveness, existing exploratory programming environments such as the Smalltalk-80 environment rely on interpretation or non-optimizing dynamic compilation. But such systems pay a price for their interactiveness, since they may execute programs several times slower than an optimizing {system.SELF-93} reconciles high performance with responsiveness by combining a fast, non-optimizing compiler with a slower, optimizing compiler. The resulting system achieves both excellent performance (two or three times faster than existing Smalltalk systems) and good responsiveness. Except for situations requiring large applications to be (re)compiled from scratch, the system allows for pleasant interactive use with few perceptible compilation pauses. To our knowledge, {SELF-93} is the first implementation of a pure object-oriented language achieving both good performance and good {responsiveness.When} measuring interactive pauses, it is imperative to treat multiple short pauses as one longer pause if the pauses occur in short succession, since they are perceived as one pause by the user. We propose a definition of pause clustering and show that clustering can make an order-of-magnitude difference in the pause time distribution.},

+   foo *`` argument might be passed as ``[[field1, field2...]]``.
+
+As an optimization, the CPython version of CFFI assumes that a function

+   call ``float()``.  If you want to operate on such numbers
+   without any precision loss, you need to define and use a family of C

Log:	hg merge verifier2: split the verifier into a base Verifier class
	and one of two VEngine classes, which produce either a CPython C
	extension module or a generic C module. The former is used only on
	CPython when using the _cffi_backend. The latter is used for the
	other cases, notably on PyPy: to call the generic C module, we use
	CFFI again.

+----------------------

+All of the ANSI C declarations should be supported, and some of C99.
+Here are the major known missing features that are GCC or MSVC
+extensions:
+
+* Any ``__attribute__`` or ``#pragma pack(n)``
+
+* Additional types: complex numbers, special-size floating and
+  fixed point types, vector types, etc. (must be declared with

+* Unnamed struct/union fields within struct/union

+Numpypy non-progress report
+===========================
+
+Hello everyone.
+
+Not much has happened in the past few months with numpypy development. A part
+of the reason was `doing other stuff`_ for me, a part of the reason was
+various unexpected visa-related admin, a part of the reason was EuroPython
+and a part was long-awaited holiday.
+
+The thing that's maybe worth mentioning is that it does not mean the donations
+disappeared in the mist. PyPy developers are being paid to work on NumPyPy on
+an hourly basis - that means if I decide to take holidays or work on something
+else, the money is simply staying in the account until later.
+
+Thanks again for all the donations, I hope to get back to this topic soon!
+
+Cheers,
+fijal

 So what does it mean?  A Python interpreter overflows the L1 cache of

 lot of memory (on the order of magnitude of 1/100 of the whole L1

 In this paper we describe and analyze how deoptimization works in the context
 of tracing just-in-time compilers. What instructions are used in the
 intermediate and low-level representation of the JIT instructions and how these
 are implemented.

+Although there are several publications about tracing just-in-time compilers,
+to our knowledge, there are none that describe deoptimization and the use and
+implementation of guards in this context.
+
 Based on the informal observation that guards are among the most common
 operations in the traces produced by PyPy's tracing JIT and that guards are
 operations that are associated with an overhead to maintain information about
-state to be able to rebuild it, our goal is to present concrete numbers for the
-frequency and the overhead produced by guards, explain how they are implemented
-in the different levels of PyPy's tracing JIT and explain the rationale behind
-the design decisions based on the numbers.
-As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:ops_count} guards account for 14.42\% to
-22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\% to 20.12\% of after the
-optimization pass over the traced and compiled paths of the benchmarks.
-Figure~\ref{fig:benchmarks} shows the absolute number of operations for each
-benchmark, for every guard that stays alive after optimization there are
-several kinds of metadata created and stored at different levels of the JIT to
-be able to rebuild the interpreter or tracer state from a guard failure making

+state to be able to rebuild the execution state in case of deoptimization, our
+goal is to present concrete numbers for the frequency and the overhead produced
+by guards, explain how they are implemented in the different levels of PyPy's
+tracing JIT and explain the rationale behind the design decisions based on the
+numbers.
+
+The operations executed by an interpreter are recorded by the tracing JIT in
+case they are frequently executed, this process is described in more detail in
+Section~\ref{sec:Resume Data}, during the recording phase special operations,
+\texttt{guards}, are inserted into the recorded trace at all points where
+control flow could diverge. As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent}
+guards account for 14.42\% to 22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\%
+to 20.12\% of the operations after the optimization pass over the traced and
+compiled parts of the benchmarks, making guards one of the most common
+operations. Many of these guards fail rarely on not all during execution. Given
+that associated with each guard information is stored, that is required to
+rebuild the execution state in case control flow diverges from the recorded
+path at a guard it is important to store the information associated with the
+guards in a manner that tries to keep the overhead for storing the information
+low while avoiding to put a burden on the execution of the recorded trace,
+making the optimization of guards an important aspect of
+the low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.
+
+%Section~\ref{sec:Evaluation} presents Figures about the absolute number of
+%operations for each benchmark, and the overhead produced by the information
+%stored at the different levels for the guards
+In this paper we want to substantiate the aforementioned observations and
+describe based on them the reasoning behind and the implementation of guards in
+PyPy's tracing just-in-time compiler, the contributions of this paper are:
 \begin{itemize}
- \item
+  \item An analysis of guards in the context of PyPy's tracing JIT to
+  substantiate the aforementioned observation, based on a set of benchmarks.
+  \item We provide a detailed measurements about the frequency and the
+  overhead associated with guards.
+  \item We provide a description about how guards are implemented in the high\-
+  and low-level parts of the JIT and describe the rationale behind the design.

-The paper is structured as follows:
+The set of central concepts upon which this work is based is described in
+Section~\ref{sec:Background}, such as the PyPy project, the RPython language
+and its meta-tracing JIT. Based on these concepts in Section~\ref{sec:Resume
+Data} we proceed to describe for PyPy's tracing JIT the details of guards in
+the frontend\bivab{better term for this?} related to recording and storing the
+information required to restore the interpreter state in case of a guard
+failure, once the frontend has traced and optimized a loop it invokes the
+backend to compile the operations to machine code, Section \ref{sec:Guards in
+the Backend} describes the low-level aspects of how guards are implemented in
+the JIT-backend. The frequency of guards and the overhead associated with the
+implementation described in this paper is discussed in
+Section~\ref{sec:evaluation}. Section~\ref{sec:Related Work} presents an
+overview about how guards are treated in the context of other just-in-time
+compilers. Finally Section~\ref{sec:Conclusion} summarizes our conclusions and
+gives an outlook on further research topics.

-After optimization the resulting trace is handed to the backend to be compiled

-instructions, a backwards pass to calculate live ranges of IR-level variables
-and a forward one to emit the instructions. During the forward pass IR-level

+how to rebuild the state from a side-exit using the information in the snapshot
+and the machine execution state. Pall also acknowledges that snapshot for
+guards are associated with a large memory footprint. The solution used in
+LuaJIT is to store sparse snapshots, avoiding the creation of snapshots for
+every guard to reduce memory pressure. Snapshots are only created for guards
+after updates to the global state, after control flow points from the original

+Linking side exits to pieces of later compiled machine code was described first
+in the context of Dynamo~\cite{Bala:2000wv} under the name of Fragment Linking.
+Once a new hot trace is emitted into the fragment cache it is linked to side
+exit that led to the compilation. Fragment Linking avoids the performance
+penalty involved in leaving the compiled and it to remove the compensation
+code used when restoring the machine state on a side exit.
+
+In~\cite{Gal:2006} Gal et. al describe that in the HotpathVM they experimented
+with having one generic compensation code block, like the RPython JIT, that
+uses a register variable mapping to restore the interpreter state. Later this
+was replaced by generating compensation code for each guard which produced a
+lower overhead in their benchmarks. HotpathVM also records secondary traces
+starting from failing guards that are connected directly to the original trace.
+Secondary traces are compiled by first restoring the register allocator state to
+the state at the side exit. The information is retrieved from a mapping stored
+in the guard that maps machine level registers and stack to Java level stack
+and variables.
+
+Gal et. al~\cite{Gal:2009ux} write about how TraceMonkey uses trace stitching
+to avoid th overhead of returning to the trace monitor and calling another
+trace when taking a side exit. In their approach it is required to write live
+values to an activation record before entering the new trace.

-""" Distributed controller(s) for use with transparent proxy objects
-
-First idea:
-
-1. We use py.execnet to create a connection to wherever
-2. We run some code there (RSync in advance makes some sense)
-3. We access remote objects like normal ones, with a special protocol
-
-Local side:
-  - Request an object from remote side from global namespace as simple
-    --- request(name) --->
-  - Receive an object which is in protocol described below which is
-    constructed as shallow copy of the remote type.
-
-    Shallow copy is defined as follows:
-
-    - for interp-level object that we know we can provide transparent proxy
-      we just do that
-
-    - for others we fake or fail depending on object
-
-    - for user objects, we create a class which fakes all attributes of
-      a class as transparent proxies of remote objects, we create an instance
-      of that class and populate __dict__
-
-    - for immutable types, we just copy that
-
-Remote side:
-  - we run code, whatever we like
-  - additionally, we've got thread exporting stuff (or just exporting
-    globals, whatever)
-  - for every object, we just send an object, or provide a protocol for
-    sending it in a different way.

-""" Distributed controller(s) for use with transparent proxy objects
-
-First idea:
-
-1. We use py.execnet to create a connection to wherever
-2. We run some code there (RSync in advance makes some sense)
-3. We access remote objects like normal ones, with a special protocol
-
-Local side:
-  - Request an object from remote side from global namespace as simple
-    --- request(name) --->
-  - Receive an object which is in protocol described below which is
-    constructed as shallow copy of the remote type.
-
-    Shallow copy is defined as follows:
-
-    - for interp-level object that we know we can provide transparent proxy
-      we just do that
-
-    - for others we fake or fail depending on object
-
-    - for user objects, we create a class which fakes all attributes of
-      a class as transparent proxies of remote objects, we create an instance
-      of that class and populate __dict__
-
-    - for immutable types, we just copy that
-
-Remote side:
-  - we run code, whatever we like
-  - additionally, we've got thread exporting stuff (or just exporting
-    globals, whatever)
-  - for every object, we just send an object, or provide a protocol for
-    sending it in a different way.

-""" Distributed controller(s) for use with transparent proxy objects
-
-First idea:
-
-1. We use py.execnet to create a connection to wherever
-2. We run some code there (RSync in advance makes some sense)
-3. We access remote objects like normal ones, with a special protocol
-
-Local side:
-  - Request an object from remote side from global namespace as simple
-    --- request(name) --->
-  - Receive an object which is in protocol described below which is
-    constructed as shallow copy of the remote type.
-
-    Shallow copy is defined as follows:
-
-    - for interp-level object that we know we can provide transparent proxy
-      we just do that
-
-    - for others we fake or fail depending on object
-
-    - for user objects, we create a class which fakes all attributes of
-      a class as transparent proxies of remote objects, we create an instance
-      of that class and populate __dict__
-
-    - for immutable types, we just copy that
-
-Remote side:
-  - we run code, whatever we like
-  - additionally, we've got thread exporting stuff (or just exporting
-    globals, whatever)
-  - for every object, we just send an object, or provide a protocol for
-    sending it in a different way.

 The operations executed by an interpreter are recorded by the tracing JIT in
 case they are frequently executed, this process is described in more detail in
 Section~\ref{sec:Resume Data}, during the recording phase special operations,
-\texttt{guards}, are inserted into the recorded trace at all points where
-control flow could diverge. As can be seen on Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent}
-guards account for 14.42\% to 22.32\% of the operations before and for 15.2\%
-to 20.12\% of the operations after the optimization pass over the traced and
-compiled parts of the benchmarks, making guards one of the most common
-operations. Many of these guards fail rarely on not all during execution. Given
-that associated with each guard information is stored, that is required to
-rebuild the execution state in case control flow diverges from the recorded
-path at a guard it is important to store the information associated with the
-guards in a manner that tries to keep the overhead for storing the information
-low while avoiding to put a burden on the execution of the recorded trace,
-making the optimization of guards an important aspect of
-the low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.

+Figure~\ref{fig:guard_percent} guards account for 14.42\% to 22.32\% of the

+optimization pass over the traced and later compiled parts of the benchmarks,
+making guards one of the most common types of operations. Many of these guards
+fail rarely or not all during execution. There are several aspects to consider
+in the design and optimization of guards, the first aspect is that due to the
+large number of guards the memory overhead related to storing the information
+needed for deoptimization should be kept low. A second aspect is that
+successfully checking guards, i.e. not leaving the compiled trace,  - which is
+the common case - should be a cheap operation to execute favouring the on-trace
+execution speed in contrast to the deoptimization case where the state has to
+be rebuilt using the stored information. These constraints and trade-offs are
+what make the design and optimization of guards an important and non-trivial
+aspect of the low-level design of a tracing just-in-time compiler.

Knowing which objects do not escape allows a compiler to perform aggressive {optimizations.This} paper presents a new intraprocedural and interprocedural algorithm for escape analysis in the context of dynamic compilation where the compiler has to cope with dynamic class loading and deoptimization. It was implemented for Sun Microsystems' Java {HotSpot&#8482;} client compiler and operates on an intermediate representation in {SSA} form. We introduce equi-escape sets for the efficient propagation of escape information between related objects. The analysis is used for scalar replacement of fields and synchronization removal, as well as for stack allocation of objects and fixed-sized arrays. The results of the interprocedural analysis support the compiler in inlining decisions and allow actual parameters to be allocated on the caller {stack.Under} certain circumstances, the Java {HotSpot&#8482;} {VM} is forced to stop executing a method's machine code and transfer control to the interpreter. This is called deoptimization. Since the interpreter does not know about the scalar replacement and synchronization removal performed by the compiler, the deoptimization framework was extended to reallocate and relock objects on demand.},

+\subsection{RPython's Tracing JIT Compilers}
 \label{sub:tracing}
+Tracing JITs are a technique of just-in-time compilers that generate code by
+observing the execution of a program. VMs using tracing JITs are typically
+mixed mode execution environments containing also an interpreter. The
+interpreter profiles the executed program and selects frequently executed code
+paths to be compiled to machine code. After profiling identified an interesting
+path, tracing is started, recording all operations that are executed on this
+path. Like in most compilers tracing JITs use an intermediate representation
+to store the recorded operations, which is typically in SSA form\todo{some ssa
+reference}. Since tracing follows actual execution the code that is recorded
+represents only one possible path through the control flow graph. Points of
+divergence from the recorded path are marked with special operations called
+\emph{guards}, these operations ensure that assumptions valid during the
+tracing phase are still valid when the code has been compiled and is executed.
+After a trace has been recorded it is optimized and then compiled to platform
+specific machine code.
 
- * Tracing JITs
- * Mention SSA
- * JIT Compiler
-   * describe the tracing jit stuff in pypy
-   * reference tracing the meta level paper for a high level description of what the JIT does
-   * JIT Architecture
-   * Explain the aspects of tracing and optimization
+When the check of a guard fails, the execution of the machine code must be
+stopped and the control is returned to the interpreter, after the interpreter's
+state has been restored. If a particular guard fails often a new trace is
+recorded starting from the guard. We will refer to this kind of trace as a
+\emph{bridge}. Once a bridge has been traced it is attached to the
+corresponding guard by patching the machine code. The next time the guard fails
+the bridge will be executed instead of leaving the machine code.
+
+RPython provides a tracing JIT that can be reused for a number of language
+implementations. This is possible, because it traces the execution of the
+language interpreter instead of tracing the user program directly. This
+approach is called \emph{meta-tracing}. For the purpose of this paper the fact
+that RPython's tracing JIT is a meta-tracing JIT can be ignored.

+Guards operations occur frequently in traces generated by tracing just-in-time

+carefully to find the right trade-off between execution speed, deoptimization,

 We need to solve this issue with a higher-level solution.  Such
 solutions exist theoretically, and Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME) is
 one of them.  The idea of AME is that we divide the execution of each
-thread into a number of "blocks".  Each block is well-delimited and
-typically large.  Each block runs atomically, as if it acquired a GIL
-for its whole duration.  The trick is that internally we use
-Transactional Memory, which is a a technique that lets the interpreter
-run the blocks from each thread in parallel, while giving the programmer

+Transactional Memory, which is a technique that lets the system run the
+atomic blocks from each thread in parallel, while giving the programmer
 the illusion that the blocks have been run in some global serialized
 order.
 
 This doesn't magically solve all possible issues, but it helps a lot: it
-is far easier to reason in terms of a random ordering of large blocks
-than in terms of a random ordering of individual instructions.  For
-example, a program might contain a loop over all keys of a dictionary,
-performing some "mostly-independent" work on each value.  By using the
-technique described here, putting each piece of work in one "block"
-running in one thread of a pool, we get exactly the same effect: the
-pieces of work still appear to run in some global serialized order, in
-some random order (as it is anyway when iterating over the keys of a
-dictionary).  There are even techniques building on top of AME that can
-be used to force the order of the blocks, if needed.
+is far easier to reason in terms of a random ordering of large atomic
+blocks than in terms of a random ordering of lines of code --- not to

+of instructions is not a sufficient model any more.
+
+How do such atomic blocks look like?  For example, a program might
+contain a loop over all keys of a dictionary, performing some
+"mostly-independent" work on each value.  This is a typical example:
+each atomic block is one iteration through the loop.  By using the
+technique described here, we can run the iterations in parallel
+(e.g. using a thread pool) but using AME to ensure that they appear to
+run serially.
+
+In Python, we don't care about the order in which the loop iterations
+are done, because we are anyway iterating over the keys of a dictionary.
+So we get exactly the same effect as before: the iterations still run in
+some random order, but --- and that's the important point --- in a
+global serialized order.  In other words, we introduced parallelism, but
+only under the hood: from the programmer's point of view, his program
+still appears to run completely serially.  Parallelisation as a
+theoretically invisible optimization...  more about the "theoretically"
+in the next paragraph.
+
+Note that randomness of order is not fundamental: they are techniques
+building on top of AME that can be used to force the order of the
+atomic blocks, if needed.
 
 
 PyPy and STM/AME
 ----------------
 
 Talking more precisely about PyPy: the current prototype ``pypy-stm`` is
-doing precisely this.  The length of the "blocks" above is selected in
-one of two ways: either we have blocks corresponding to some small
-number of bytecodes (in which case we have merely a GIL-less Python); or
-we have blocks that are specified explicitly by the programmer using
-``with thread.atomic:``.  The latter gives typically long-running
-blocks.  It allows us to build the higher-level solution sought after:
-it will run most of our Python code in multiple threads but always
-within a ``thread.atomic`` block, e.g. using a pool of threads.
+doing precisely this.  In ``pypy-stm``, the length of the atomic blocks is
+selected in one of two ways: either explicitly or automatically.
+
+The automatic selection gives blocks corresponding to some small number
+of bytecodes, in which case we have merely a GIL-less Python: multiple
+threads will appear to run serially, but with the execution randomly
+switching from one thread to another at bytecode boundaries, just like
+in CPython.
+
+The explicit selection is closer to what was described in the previous
+section: someone --- the programmer or the author of some library that
+the programmer uses --- will explicitly put ``with thread.atomic:`` in
+the source, which delimitates an atomic block.  For example, we can use
+it to build a library that can be used to iterate over the keys of a
+dictionary: instead of iterating over the dictionary directly, we would
+use some custom utility which gives the elements "in parallel".  It
+would give them by using internally a pool of threads, but enclosing
+every single answer into such a ``with thread.atomic`` block.
 
 This gives the nice illusion of a global serialized order, and thus
-gives us a well-behaving model of our program's behavior.  The drawback
-is that we will usually have to detect and locate places that cause too
-many "conflicts" in the Transactional Memory sense.  A conflict causes
-the execution of one block of code to be aborted and restarted.
-Although the process is transparent, if it occurs more than
-occasionally, then it has a negative impact on performance.  We will
-need better tools to deal with them.
+gives us a well-behaving model of the program's behavior.  Let me
+restate this: the *only* semantical difference between ``pypy-stm`` and
+a regular PyPy or CPython is that it has ``thread.atomic``, which is a
+context manager that gives the illusion of forcing the GIL to not be
+released during the execution of the corresponding block of code.  Apart
+from this addition, they are apparently identical.
 
-The point here is that at any stage of this "improvement" process our
-program is *correct*, while it may not be yet as efficient as it could
+Of course they are only semantically identical if we ignore performance:
+``pypy-stm`` uses multiple threads and can potentially benefit from that
+on multicore machines.  The drawback is: when does it benefit, and how
+much?  The answer to this question is not always immediate.
+
+We will usually have to detect and locate places that cause too many
+"conflicts" in the Transactional Memory sense.  A conflict occurs when
+two atomic blocks write to the same location, or when ``A`` reads it,
+``B`` writes it, but ``B`` finishes first and commits.  A conflict
+causes the execution of one atomic block to be aborted and restarted,
+due to another block committing.  Although the process is transparent,
+if it occurs more than occasionally, then it has a negative impact on
+performance.
+
+There is no out-of-the-box perfect solution for solving all conflicts.
+What we will need is more tools to detect them and deal with them, data
+structures that are made aware of the risks of "internal" conflicts when
+externally there shouldn't be one, and so on.  There is some work ahead.
+
+The point here is that from the point of view of the final programmer,
+he gets conflicts that he should resolve --- but at any point, his
+program is *correct*, even if it may not be yet as efficient as it could
 be.  This is the opposite of regular multithreading, where programs are
 efficient but not as correct as they could be.  In other words, as we
 all know, we only have resources to do the easy 80% of the work and not

 We need to solve this issue with a higher-level solution.  Such
 solutions exist theoretically, and Automatic Mutual Exclusion (AME) is
 one of them.  The idea of AME is that we divide the execution of each
-thread into a number of "blocks".  Each block is well-delimited and
-typically large.  Each block runs atomically, as if it acquired a GIL
-for its whole duration.  The trick is that internally we use
-Transactional Memory, which is a a technique that lets the interpreter
-run the blocks from each thread in parallel, while giving the programmer

+Transactional Memory, which is a technique that lets the system run the
+atomic blocks from each thread in parallel, while giving the programmer
 the illusion that the blocks have been run in some global serialized
 order.
 
 This doesn't magically solve all possible issues, but it helps a lot: it
-is far easier to reason in terms of a random ordering of large blocks
-than in terms of a random ordering of individual instructions.  For
-example, a program might contain a loop over all keys of a dictionary,
-performing some "mostly-independent" work on each value.  By using the
-technique described here, putting each piece of work in one "block"
-running in one thread of a pool, we get exactly the same effect: the
-pieces of work still appear to run in some global serialized order, in
-some random order (as it is anyway when iterating over the keys of a
-dictionary).  There are even techniques building on top of AME that can
-be used to force the order of the blocks, if needed.
+is far easier to reason in terms of a random ordering of large atomic

+How do such atomic blocks look like?  For example, a program might
+contain a loop over all keys of a dictionary, performing some
+"mostly-independent" work on each value.  This is a typical example:
+each atomic block is one iteration through the loop.  By using the
+technique described here, we can run the iterations in parallel
+(e.g. using a thread pool) but using AME to ensure that they appear to
+run serially.
+
+In Python, we don't care about the order in which the loop iterations
+are done, because we are anyway iterating over the keys of a dictionary.
+So we get exactly the same effect as before: the iterations still run in
+some random order, but --- and that's the important point --- in a
+global serialized order.  In other words, we introduced parallelism, but
+only under the hood: from the programmer's point of view, his program
+still appears to run completely serially.  Parallelisation as a
+theoretically invisible optimization...  more about the "theoretically"
+in the next paragraph.
+
+Note that randomness of order is not fundamental: they are techniques
+building on top of AME that can be used to force the order of the
+atomic blocks, if needed.
 
 
 PyPy and STM/AME
 ----------------
 
 Talking more precisely about PyPy: the current prototype ``pypy-stm`` is
-doing precisely this.  The length of the "blocks" above is selected in
-one of two ways: either we have blocks corresponding to some small
-number of bytecodes (in which case we have merely a GIL-less Python); or
-we have blocks that are specified explicitly by the programmer using
-``with thread.atomic:``.  The latter gives typically long-running
-blocks.  It allows us to build the higher-level solution sought after:
-it will run most of our Python code in multiple threads but always
-within a ``thread.atomic`` block, e.g. using a pool of threads.
+doing precisely this.  In ``pypy-stm``, the length of the atomic blocks is
+selected in one of two ways: either explicitly or automatically.
+
+The automatic selection gives blocks corresponding to some small number
+of bytecodes, in which case we have merely a GIL-less Python: multiple
+threads will appear to run serially, but with the execution randomly
+switching from one thread to another at bytecode boundaries, just like
+in CPython.
+
+The explicit selection is closer to what was described in the previous
+section: someone --- the programmer or the author of some library that
+the programmer uses --- will explicitly put ``with thread.atomic:`` in
+the source, which delimitates an atomic block.  For example, we can use
+it to build a library that can be used to iterate over the keys of a
+dictionary: instead of iterating over the dictionary directly, we would
+use some custom utility which gives the elements "in parallel".  It
+would give them by using internally a pool of threads, but enclosing
+every single answer into such a ``with thread.atomic`` block.
 
 This gives the nice illusion of a global serialized order, and thus
-gives us a well-behaving model of our program's behavior.  The drawback
-is that we will usually have to detect and locate places that cause too
-many "conflicts" in the Transactional Memory sense.  A conflict causes
-the execution of one block of code to be aborted and restarted.
-Although the process is transparent, if it occurs more than
-occasionally, then it has a negative impact on performance.  We will
-need better tools to deal with them.
+gives us a well-behaving model of the program's behavior.  Let me
+restate this: the *only* semantical difference between ``pypy-stm`` and
+a regular PyPy or CPython is that it has ``thread.atomic``, which is a
+context manager that gives the illusion of forcing the GIL to not be
+released during the execution of the corresponding block of code.  Apart
+from this addition, they are apparently identical.
 
-The point here is that at any stage of this "improvement" process our
-program is *correct*, while it may not be yet as efficient as it could
+Of course they are only semantically identical if we ignore performance:
+``pypy-stm`` uses multiple threads and can potentially benefit from that
+on multicore machines.  The drawback is: when does it benefit, and how
+much?  The answer to this question is not always immediate.
+
+We will usually have to detect and locate places that cause too many
+"conflicts" in the Transactional Memory sense.  A conflict occurs when
+two atomic blocks write to the same location, or when ``A`` reads it,
+``B`` writes it, but ``B`` finishes first and commits.  A conflict
+causes the execution of one atomic block to be aborted and restarted,
+due to another block committing.  Although the process is transparent,
+if it occurs more than occasionally, then it has a negative impact on
+performance.
+
+There is no out-of-the-box perfect solution for solving all conflicts.
+What we will need is more tools to detect them and deal with them, data
+structures that are made aware of the risks of "internal" conflicts when
+externally there shouldn't be one, and so on.  There is some work ahead.
+
+The point here is that from the point of view of the final programmer,
+he gets conflicts that he should resolve --- but at any point, his
+program is *correct*, even if it may not be yet as efficient as it could
 be.  This is the opposite of regular multithreading, where programs are
 efficient but not as correct as they could be.  In other words, as we
 all know, we only have resources to do the easy 80% of the work and not

+\item {\bf conv3}: one-dimensional convolution with fixed kernel-size $3$. A single loop
+is used to calculate a vector ${\bf b} = \left(b_1, \cdots, b_n\right)$ from a vector
+${\bf a} = \left(a_1, \cdots, a_n\right)$ and a kernel ${\bf k} = \left(k_1, k_2, k_3\right)$ using 
+$b_i = k_3 a_i + k_2 a_{i+1} + k_1 a_{i+2}$ for $1 \leq i \leq n$. Both the output vector, $\bf b$, 
+and the input vectors, $\bf a$ and $\bf k$, are allocated prior to running the benchmark. It is executed 
+with $n=10^5$ and $n=10^6$.
+\item {\bf conv5}: one-dimensional convolution with fixed kernel-size $5$. Similar to conv3, but with 
+${\bf k} = \left(k_1, k_2, k_3, k_4, k_5\right)$. The enumeration of the elements in $\bf k$ is still 
+hardcoded into the implementation making the benchmark consist of a single loop too.
 \item {\bf conv3x3}: two-dimensional convolution with kernel of fixed
   size $3 \times 3$ using a custom class to represent two-dimensional
-  arrays.
+  arrays. It is implemented as two nested loops that iterates over the elements of the 
+$n\times n$ output matrix ${\bf B} = \left(b_{i,j}\right)$ and calculates each element from the input matrix
+${\bf A} = \left(a_{i,j}\right)$ and a kernel ${\bf K} = \left(k_{i,j}\right)$ using $b_{i,j} = $
+\begin{equation}
+  \label{eq:convsum}
+  \begin{array}{lclclc}
+    k_{3,3} a_{i-1,j-1} &+& k_{3,2} a_{i-1,j} &+& k_{3,1} a_{i-1,j+1} & + \\

+  \end{array}
+\end{equation}
+for $1 \leq i \leq n$ and $1 \leq j \leq n$.
+The memory for storing the matrices are again allocated outside the benchmark and $n=1000$ was used.

   size $3 \times 3$. This is similar to convolution but instead of

   external call to a max function within the loop that prevents some

   locate edges in an image. It calculates the gradient magnitude

Subject: [pypy-commit] pypy stm-jit: Start to draft the tests for the
 GcStmReviewerAssembler as
Message-ID: <20120809184403.451AB1C02AA@cobra.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de>

Author: Armin Rigo <arigo at tunes.org>
Branch: stm-jit
Changeset: r56665:5c1d01b84795
Date: 2012-08-09 20:43 +0200
http://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/changeset/5c1d01b84795/

Log:	Start to draft the tests for the GcStmReviewerAssembler as a
	llsupport subclass of GcRewriterAssembler. Unsure yet if this is
	the ideal level.

Log:	Refactor FlowExecutionContext.__init__

	Push code down from FlowObjSpace.build_flow() to
	FlowExecutionContext. This is safe as these objects are only ever
	instantiated from there, and puts all flow graph initialisation code
	closer together.

Log:	Kill p.o.f.operation.special_overrides()

	Define the methods directly inside FlowObjSpace instead. In the case
	of getattr, this causes a bit of code duplication, but that's better
	than crazy monkey-patching.

+stm support
+-----------    
+
+Any SETFIELD_GC, SETARRAYITEM_GC, SETINTERIORFIELD_GC must be done on a
+local object.  The operation that forces an object p1 to be local is
+COND_CALL_GC_WB(p1, 0, descr=wbdescr).  When we have stm, this
+COND_CALL_GC_WB is a bit special because if p1 is global, it *replaces*
+its value with the local copy (by changing the register's value and
+patching the stack location if any).  It's still conceptually the same
+object, but the pointer is different.
+
+GETFIELD_GC & friends are more complex.
+
+The fast case is if we also see a write to the same object.  In this
+case we know that the object will have a local copy anyway, even if the
+write is done after the read (we ignore the rare case that a guard may
+fail inbetween).  So in this case we use the same rule as for
+SETFIELD_GC.
+
+The slow case is where we need to read the global object in-place.
+We insert STM_READ_BEFORE() before and STM_READ_AFTER() after, and
+between these two operations there can be only (one or several) reads
+from one object: GETFIELD_GC, GETARRAYITEM_GC, GETINTERIORFIELD_GC,
+COPYSTRCONTENT, COPYUNICODECONTENT.  We need to be careful here because
+STM_READ_AFTER might jump back to STM_READ_BEFORE.  So we must somehow
+precompute how many spills we will need to do, and do them before
+entering the STM_READ_BEFORE.  As a first approximation, we can ensure
+that all registers are spilled before STM_READ_BEFORE.
+
+STM_READ_BEFORE():
+
+    - if (p->flags & GCFLAG_GLOBAL == 0), ovt = p->version
+
+    - else ovt = (call a helper function "ll_stm_read_before")
+
+ll_stm_read_before():
+
+    - if ((p->flags & GCFLAG_WAS_COPIED) != 0 && local_copy_exists(p))
+        replace p with its local copy in the caller (register and stack)
+        return p->version
+
+    - load the thread-local global d = thread_descriptor
+
+    - ovt = p->version
+
+    - if (ovt is locked or newer than d->start_time)
+        call handle_spinloop_or_validation(ovt)
+        jump back to reading 'ovt' above
+
+    - if (!is_inevitable(d))
+        oreclist_insert_if_not_already(d->reads, p)
+
+    - return ovt
+
+STM_READ_AFTER():
+
+    - if (p->version != ovt)
+        jump back to STM_READ_BEFORE

-This is just a placeholder for some code I'm checking in elsewhere.
-It is provenly possible to determine constantness of certain expressions
-a little later. I introduced this a bit too early, together with tieing
-this to something being global, which was a bad idea.
-The concept is still valid, and it can  be used to force something to
-be evaluated immediately because it is supposed to be a constant.

+NumPy
+=====
+
+Provides
+  1. An array object of arbitrary homogeneous items
+  2. Fast mathematical operations over arrays
+  3. Linear Algebra, Fourier Transforms, Random Number Generation
+
+How to use the documentation
+----------------------------
+Documentation is available in two forms: docstrings provided
+with the code, and a loose standing reference guide, available from
+`the NumPy homepage <http://www.scipy.org>`_.
+
+We recommend exploring the docstrings using
+`IPython <http://ipython.scipy.org>`_, an advanced Python shell with
+TAB-completion and introspection capabilities.  See below for further
+instructions.
+
+The docstring examples assume that `numpy` has been imported as `np`::
+
+  >>> import numpy as np
+
+Code snippets are indicated by three greater-than signs::
+
+  >>> x = 42
+  >>> x = x + 1
+
+Use the built-in ``help`` function to view a function's docstring::
+
+  >>> help(np.sort)
+  ... # doctest: +SKIP
+
+For some objects, ``np.info(obj)`` may provide additional help.  This is
+particularly true if you see the line "Help on ufunc object:" at the top
+of the help() page.  Ufuncs are implemented in C, not Python, for speed.
+The native Python help() does not know how to view their help, but our
+np.info() function does.
+
+To search for documents containing a keyword, do::
+
+  >>> np.lookfor('keyword')
+  ... # doctest: +SKIP
+
+General-purpose documents like a glossary and help on the basic concepts
+of numpy are available under the ``doc`` sub-module::
+
+  >>> from numpy import doc
+  >>> help(doc)
+  ... # doctest: +SKIP
+
+Available subpackages
+---------------------
+doc
+    Topical documentation on broadcasting, indexing, etc.
+lib
+    Basic functions used by several sub-packages.
+random
+    Core Random Tools
+linalg
+    Core Linear Algebra Tools
+fft
+    Core FFT routines
+polynomial
+    Polynomial tools
+testing
+    Numpy testing tools
+f2py
+    Fortran to Python Interface Generator.
+distutils
+    Enhancements to distutils with support for
+    Fortran compilers support and more.
+
+Utilities

+    Run numpy unittests
+show_config
+    Show numpy build configuration
+dual
+    Overwrite certain functions with high-performance Scipy tools
+matlib
+    Make everything matrices.
+__version__
+    Numpy version string
+
+Viewing documentation using IPython
+-----------------------------------
+Start IPython with the NumPy profile (``ipython -p numpy``), which will
+import `numpy` under the alias `np`.  Then, use the ``cpaste`` command to
+paste examples into the shell.  To see which functions are available in
+`numpy`, type ``np.<TAB>`` (where ``<TAB>`` refers to the TAB key), or use
+``np.*cos*?<ENTER>`` (where ``<ENTER>`` refers to the ENTER key) to narrow
+down the list.  To view the docstring for a function, use
+``np.cos?<ENTER>`` (to view the docstring) and ``np.cos??<ENTER>`` (to view
+the source code).
+
+Copies vs. in-place operation
+-----------------------------
+Most of the functions in `numpy` return a copy of the array argument
+(e.g., `np.sort`).  In-place versions of these functions are often
+available as array methods, i.e. ``x = np.array([1,2,3]); x.sort()``.
+Exceptions to this rule are documented.

+    Flat iterator object to iterate over arrays.
+
+    A `flatiter` iterator is returned by ``x.flat`` for any array `x`.
+    It allows iterating over the array as if it were a 1-D array,
+    either in a for-loop or by calling its `next` method.
+
+    Iteration is done in C-contiguous style, with the last index varying the
+    fastest. The iterator can also be indexed using basic slicing or

+    Efficient multi-dimensional iterator object to iterate over arrays.
+    To get started using this object, see the
+    :ref:`introductory guide to array iteration <arrays.nditer>`.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    op : ndarray or sequence of array_like
+        The array(s) to iterate over.
+    flags : sequence of str, optional
+        Flags to control the behavior of the iterator.
+
+          * "buffered" enables buffering when required.
+          * "c_index" causes a C-order index to be tracked.
+          * "f_index" causes a Fortran-order index to be tracked.
+          * "multi_index" causes a multi-index, or a tuple of indices
+            with one per iteration dimension, to be tracked.
+          * "common_dtype" causes all the operands to be converted to
+            a common data type, with copying or buffering as necessary.
+          * "delay_bufalloc" delays allocation of the buffers until
+            a reset() call is made. Allows "allocate" operands to
+            be initialized before their values are copied into the buffers.
+          * "external_loop" causes the `values` given to be
+            one-dimensional arrays with multiple values instead of
+            zero-dimensional arrays.
+          * "grow_inner" allows the `value` array sizes to be made
+            larger than the buffer size when both "buffered" and
+            "external_loop" is used.
+          * "ranged" allows the iterator to be restricted to a sub-range
+            of the iterindex values.
+          * "refs_ok" enables iteration of reference types, such as
+            object arrays.
+          * "reduce_ok" enables iteration of "readwrite" operands
+            which are broadcasted, also known as reduction operands.
+          * "zerosize_ok" allows `itersize` to be zero.
+    op_flags : list of list of str, optional
+        This is a list of flags for each operand. At minimum, one of
+        "readonly", "readwrite", or "writeonly" must be specified.
+
+          * "readonly" indicates the operand will only be read from.
+          * "readwrite" indicates the operand will be read from and written to.
+          * "writeonly" indicates the operand will only be written to.
+          * "no_broadcast" prevents the operand from being broadcasted.
+          * "contig" forces the operand data to be contiguous.
+          * "aligned" forces the operand data to be aligned.
+          * "nbo" forces the operand data to be in native byte order.
+          * "copy" allows a temporary read-only copy if required.
+          * "updateifcopy" allows a temporary read-write copy if required.
+          * "allocate" causes the array to be allocated if it is None
+            in the `op` parameter.
+          * "no_subtype" prevents an "allocate" operand from using a subtype.
+          * "arraymask" indicates that this operand is the mask to use
+            for selecting elements when writing to operands with the
+            'writemasked' flag set. The iterator does not enforce this,
+            but when writing from a buffer back to the array, it only
+            copies those elements indicated by this mask.
+          * 'writemasked' indicates that only elements where the chosen
+            'arraymask' operand is True will be written to.
+    op_dtypes : dtype or tuple of dtype(s), optional
+        The required data type(s) of the operands. If copying or buffering
+        is enabled, the data will be converted to/from their original types.
+    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', or 'K'}, optional
+        Controls the iteration order. 'C' means C order, 'F' means
+        Fortran order, 'A' means 'F' order if all the arrays are Fortran
+        contiguous, 'C' order otherwise, and 'K' means as close to the
+        order the array elements appear in memory as possible. This also
+        affects the element memory order of "allocate" operands, as they
+        are allocated to be compatible with iteration order.
+        Default is 'K'.
+    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
+        Controls what kind of data casting may occur when making a copy
+        or buffering.  Setting this to 'unsafe' is not recommended,
+        as it can adversely affect accumulations.
+
+          * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
+          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
+          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
+          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
+            like float64 to float32, are allowed.
+          * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.
+    op_axes : list of list of ints, optional
+        If provided, is a list of ints or None for each operands.
+        The list of axes for an operand is a mapping from the dimensions
+        of the iterator to the dimensions of the operand. A value of
+        -1 can be placed for entries, causing that dimension to be
+        treated as "newaxis".
+    itershape : tuple of ints, optional
+        The desired shape of the iterator. This allows "allocate" operands
+        with a dimension mapped by op_axes not corresponding to a dimension
+        of a different operand to get a value not equal to 1 for that
+        dimension.
+    buffersize : int, optional
+        When buffering is enabled, controls the size of the temporary
+        buffers. Set to 0 for the default value.
+
+    Attributes
+    ----------
+    dtypes : tuple of dtype(s)
+        The data types of the values provided in `value`. This may be
+        different from the operand data types if buffering is enabled.
+    finished : bool
+        Whether the iteration over the operands is finished or not.
+    has_delayed_bufalloc : bool
+        If True, the iterator was created with the "delay_bufalloc" flag,
+        and no reset() function was called on it yet.
+    has_index : bool
+        If True, the iterator was created with either the "c_index" or
+        the "f_index" flag, and the property `index` can be used to
+        retrieve it.
+    has_multi_index : bool
+        If True, the iterator was created with the "multi_index" flag,
+        and the property `multi_index` can be used to retrieve it.
+    index :
+        When the "c_index" or "f_index" flag was used, this property
+        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
+        and `has_index` is False.
+    iterationneedsapi : bool
+        Whether iteration requires access to the Python API, for example
+        if one of the operands is an object array.
+    iterindex : int
+        An index which matches the order of iteration.
+    itersize : int
+        Size of the iterator.
+    itviews :
+        Structured view(s) of `operands` in memory, matching the reordered
+        and optimized iterator access pattern.
+    multi_index :
+        When the "multi_index" flag was used, this property
+        provides access to the index. Raises a ValueError if accessed
+        accessed and `has_multi_index` is False.
+    ndim : int
+        The iterator's dimension.
+    nop : int
+        The number of iterator operands.
+    operands : tuple of operand(s)
+        The array(s) to be iterated over.
+    shape : tuple of ints
+        Shape tuple, the shape of the iterator.
+    value :
+        Value of `operands` at current iteration. Normally, this is a
+        tuple of array scalars, but if the flag "external_loop" is used,
+        it is a tuple of one dimensional arrays.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    `nditer` supersedes `flatiter`.  The iterator implementation behind
+    `nditer` is also exposed by the Numpy C API.
+
+    The Python exposure supplies two iteration interfaces, one which follows
+    the Python iterator protocol, and another which mirrors the C-style
+    do-while pattern.  The native Python approach is better in most cases, but
+    if you need the iterator's coordinates or index, use the C-style pattern.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    Here is how we might write an ``iter_add`` function, using the
+    Python iterator protocol::
+
+        def iter_add_py(x, y, out=None):
+            addop = np.add
+            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
+                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])
+            for (a, b, c) in it:
+                addop(a, b, out=c)
+            return it.operands[2]
+
+    Here is the same function, but following the C-style pattern::
+
+        def iter_add(x, y, out=None):
+            addop = np.add
+
+            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], [],
+                        [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly','allocate']])
+
+            while not it.finished:
+                addop(it[0], it[1], out=it[2])
+                it.iternext()
+
+            return it.operands[2]
+
+    Here is an example outer product function::
+
+        def outer_it(x, y, out=None):
+            mulop = np.multiply
+
+            it = np.nditer([x, y, out], ['external_loop'],
+                    [['readonly'], ['readonly'], ['writeonly', 'allocate']],
+                    op_axes=[range(x.ndim)+[-1]*y.ndim,
+                             [-1]*x.ndim+range(y.ndim),
+                             None])
+
+            for (a, b, c) in it:
+                mulop(a, b, out=c)
+
+            return it.operands[2]
+
+        >>> a = np.arange(2)+1
+        >>> b = np.arange(3)+1
+        >>> outer_it(a,b)
+        array([[1, 2, 3],
+               [2, 4, 6]])
+
+    Here is an example function which operates like a "lambda" ufunc::
+
+        def luf(lamdaexpr, *args, **kwargs):
+            "luf(lambdaexpr, op1, ..., opn, out=None, order='K', casting='safe', buffersize=0)"
+            nargs = len(args)
+            op = (kwargs.get('out',None),) + args
+            it = np.nditer(op, ['buffered','external_loop'],
+                    [['writeonly','allocate','no_broadcast']] +
+                                    [['readonly','nbo','aligned']]*nargs,
+                    order=kwargs.get('order','K'),
+                    casting=kwargs.get('casting','safe'),
+                    buffersize=kwargs.get('buffersize',0))
+            while not it.finished:
+                it[0] = lamdaexpr(*it[1:])
+                it.iternext()
+            return it.operands[0]
+
+        >>> a = np.arange(5)
+        >>> b = np.ones(5)
+        >>> luf(lambda i,j:i*i + j/2, a, b)

+    array(object, dtype=None, copy=True, order=None, subok=False, ndmin=0)
+
+    Create an array.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    object : array_like
+        An array, any object exposing the array interface, an
+        object whose __array__ method returns an array, or any
+        (nested) sequence.
+    dtype : data-type, optional
+        The desired data-type for the array.  If not given, then
+        the type will be determined as the minimum type required
+        to hold the objects in the sequence.  This argument can only
+        be used to 'upcast' the array.  For downcasting, use the
+        .astype(t) method.
+    copy : bool, optional
+        If true (default), then the object is copied.  Otherwise, a copy
+        will only be made if __array__ returns a copy, if obj is a
+        nested sequence, or if a copy is needed to satisfy any of the other
+        requirements (`dtype`, `order`, etc.).
+    order : {'C', 'F', 'A'}, optional
+        Specify the order of the array.  If order is 'C' (default), then the
+        array will be in C-contiguous order (last-index varies the
+        fastest).  If order is 'F', then the returned array
+        will be in Fortran-contiguous order (first-index varies the
+        fastest).  If order is 'A', then the returned array may
+        be in any order (either C-, Fortran-contiguous, or even
+        discontiguous).
+    subok : bool, optional
+        If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through, otherwise
+        the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array (default).
+    ndmin : int, optional
+        Specifies the minimum number of dimensions that the resulting
+        array should have.  Ones will be pre-pended to the shape as
+        needed to meet this requirement.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    out : ndarray
+        An array object satisfying the specified requirements.

+
+    Return evenly spaced values within a given interval.
+
+    Values are generated within the half-open interval ``[start, stop)``
+    (in other words, the interval including `start` but excluding `stop`).
+    For integer arguments the function is equivalent to the Python built-in
+    `range <http://docs.python.org/lib/built-in-funcs.html>`_ function,
+    but returns an ndarray rather than a list.
+
+    When using a non-integer step, such as 0.1, the results will often not

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    start : number, optional
+        Start of interval.  The interval includes this value.  The default
+        start value is 0.
+    stop : number

+        in some cases where `step` is not an integer and floating point
+        round-off affects the length of `out`.
+    step : number, optional
+        Spacing between values.  For any output `out`, this is the distance
+        between two adjacent values, ``out[i+1] - out[i]``.  The default
+        step size is 1.  If `step` is specified, `start` must also be given.

+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    arange : ndarray
+        Array of evenly spaced values.
+
+        For floating point arguments, the length of the result is
+        ``ceil((stop - start)/step)``.  Because of floating point overflow,

+    result_type(*arrays_and_dtypes)
+
+    Returns the type that results from applying the NumPy

+
+    Type promotion in NumPy works similarly to the rules in languages
+    like C++, with some slight differences.  When both scalars and

+    of the scalar is taken into account.
+
+    For example, calculating 3*a, where a is an array of 32-bit floats,
+    intuitively should result in a 32-bit float output.  If the 3 is a
+    32-bit integer, the NumPy rules indicate it can't convert losslessly
+    into a 32-bit float, so a 64-bit float should be the result type.
+    By examining the value of the constant, '3', we see that it fits in
+    an 8-bit integer, which can be cast losslessly into the 32-bit float.

+
+    Categories are determined by first checking which of boolean,
+    integer (int/uint), or floating point (float/complex) the maximum
+    kind of all the arrays and the scalars are.
+
+    If there are only scalars or the maximum category of the scalars
+    is higher than the maximum category of the arrays,
+    the data types are combined with :func:`promote_types`
+    to produce the return value.
+
+    Otherwise, `min_scalar_type` is called on each array, and
+    the resulting data types are all combined with :func:`promote_types`
+    to produce the return value.
+
+    The set of int values is not a subset of the uint values for types
+    with the same number of bits, something not reflected in

+        'K' means it should be as close to the layout as the inputs as

+        Default is 'K'.
+    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
+        Controls what kind of data casting may occur.  Setting this to
+        'unsafe' is not recommended, as it can adversely affect accumulations.
+
+          * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
+          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
+          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
+          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    .. versionadded:: 1.6.0
+
+    The subscripts string is a comma-separated list of subscript labels,
+    where each label refers to a dimension of the corresponding operand.
+    Repeated subscripts labels in one operand take the diagonal.  For example,
+    ``np.einsum('ii', a)`` is equivalent to ``np.trace(a)``.
+
+    Whenever a label is repeated, it is summed, so ``np.einsum('i,i', a, b)``
+    is equivalent to ``np.inner(a,b)``.  If a label appears only once,
+    it is not summed, so ``np.einsum('i', a)`` produces a view of ``a``
+    with no changes.
+
+    The order of labels in the output is by default alphabetical.  This
+    means that ``np.einsum('ij', a)`` doesn't affect a 2D array, while
+    ``np.einsum('ji', a)`` takes its transpose.
+
+    The output can be controlled by specifying output subscript labels
+    as well.  This specifies the label order, and allows summing to
+    be disallowed or forced when desired.  The call ``np.einsum('i->', a)``
+    is like ``np.sum(a, axis=-1)``, and ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
+    is like ``np.diag(a)``.  The difference is that `einsum` does not
+    allow broadcasting by default.
+
+    To enable and control broadcasting, use an ellipsis.  Default
+    NumPy-style broadcasting is done by adding an ellipsis
+    to the left of each term, like ``np.einsum('...ii->...i', a)``.
+    To take the trace along the first and last axes,
+    you can do ``np.einsum('i...i', a)``, or to do a matrix-matrix
+    product with the left-most indices instead of rightmost, you can do
+    ``np.einsum('ij...,jk...->ik...', a, b)``.
+
+    When there is only one operand, no axes are summed, and no output
+    parameter is provided, a view into the operand is returned instead
+    of a new array.  Thus, taking the diagonal as ``np.einsum('ii->i', a)``
+    produces a view.
+
+    An alternative way to provide the subscripts and operands is as
+    ``einsum(op0, sublist0, op1, sublist1, ..., [sublistout])``. The examples
+    below have corresponding `einsum` calls with the two parameter methods.

+    ndarray(shape, dtype=float, buffer=None, offset=0,

+
+    An array object represents a multidimensional, homogeneous array
+    of fixed-size items.  An associated data-type object describes the
+    format of each element in the array (its byte-order, how many bytes it
+    occupies in memory, whether it is an integer, a floating point number,
+    or something else, etc.)
+
+    Arrays should be constructed using `array`, `zeros` or `empty` (refer
+    to the See Also section below).  The parameters given here refer to
+    a low-level method (`ndarray(...)`) for instantiating an array.
+
+    For more information, refer to the `numpy` module and examine the
+    the methods and attributes of an array.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    (for the __new__ method; see Notes below)
+
+    shape : tuple of ints
+        Shape of created array.
+    dtype : data-type, optional
+        Any object that can be interpreted as a numpy data type.
+    buffer : object exposing buffer interface, optional
+        Used to fill the array with data.
+    offset : int, optional
+        Offset of array data in buffer.
+    strides : tuple of ints, optional
+        Strides of data in memory.
+    order : {'C', 'F'}, optional
+        Row-major or column-major order.
+
+    Attributes
+    ----------
+    T : ndarray
+        Transpose of the array.
+    data : buffer
+        The array's elements, in memory.
+    dtype : dtype object
+        Describes the format of the elements in the array.
+    flags : dict
+        Dictionary containing information related to memory use, e.g.,
+        'C_CONTIGUOUS', 'OWNDATA', 'WRITEABLE', etc.
+    flat : numpy.flatiter object
+        Flattened version of the array as an iterator.  The iterator
+        allows assignments, e.g., ``x.flat = 3`` (See `ndarray.flat` for
+        assignment examples; TODO).
+    imag : ndarray
+        Imaginary part of the array.
+    real : ndarray
+        Real part of the array.
+    size : int
+        Number of elements in the array.
+    itemsize : int
+        The memory use of each array element in bytes.
+    nbytes : int
+        The total number of bytes required to store the array data,
+        i.e., ``itemsize * size``.
+    ndim : int
+        The array's number of dimensions.
+    shape : tuple of ints
+        Shape of the array.
+    strides : tuple of ints
+        The step-size required to move from one element to the next in
+        memory. For example, a contiguous ``(3, 4)`` array of type
+        ``int16`` in C-order has strides ``(8, 2)``.  This implies that
+        to move from element to element in memory requires jumps of 2 bytes.
+        To move from row-to-row, one needs to jump 8 bytes at a time
+        (``2 * 4``).
+    ctypes : ctypes object
+        Class containing properties of the array needed for interaction
+        with ctypes.
+    base : ndarray
+        If the array is a view into another array, that array is its `base`
+        (unless that array is also a view).  The `base` array is where the
+        array data is actually stored.
+
+    See Also
+    --------
+    array : Construct an array.
+    zeros : Create an array, each element of which is zero.
+    empty : Create an array, but leave its allocated memory unchanged (i.e.,
+            it contains "garbage").
+    dtype : Create a data-type.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    There are two modes of creating an array using ``__new__``:
+
+    1. If `buffer` is None, then only `shape`, `dtype`, and `order`
+       are used.
+    2. If `buffer` is an object exposing the buffer interface, then
+       all keywords are interpreted.
+
+    No ``__init__`` method is needed because the array is fully initialized
+    after the ``__new__`` method.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    These examples illustrate the low-level `ndarray` constructor.  Refer
+    to the `See Also` section above for easier ways of constructing an
+    ndarray.
+
+    First mode, `buffer` is None:
+
+    >>> np.ndarray(shape=(2,2), dtype=float, order='F')
+    array([[ -1.13698227e+002,   4.25087011e-303],
+           [  2.88528414e-306,   3.27025015e-309]])         #random
+
+    Second mode:
+
+    >>> np.ndarray((2,), buffer=np.array([1,2,3]),
+    ...            offset=np.int_().itemsize,
+    ...            dtype=int) # offset = 1*itemsize, i.e. skip first element

+
+    This attribute creates an object that makes it easier to use arrays
+    when calling shared libraries with the ctypes module. The returned
+    object has, among others, data, shape, and strides attributes (see
+    Notes below) which themselves return ctypes objects that can be used
+    as arguments to a shared library.

+    None

+

+    --------
+    numpy.ctypeslib
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Below are the public attributes of this object which were documented
+    in "Guide to NumPy" (we have omitted undocumented public attributes,
+    as well as documented private attributes):
+
+    * data: A pointer to the memory area of the array as a Python integer.
+      This memory area may contain data that is not aligned, or not in correct
+      byte-order. The memory area may not even be writeable. The array
+      flags and data-type of this array should be respected when passing this
+      attribute to arbitrary C-code to avoid trouble that can include Python
+      crashing. User Beware! The value of this attribute is exactly the same
+      as self._array_interface_['data'][0].
+
+    * shape (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
+      the basetype is the C-integer corresponding to dtype('p') on this
+      platform. This base-type could be c_int, c_long, or c_longlong
+      depending on the platform. The c_intp type is defined accordingly in
+      numpy.ctypeslib. The ctypes array contains the shape of the underlying
+      array.
+
+    * strides (c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where
+      the basetype is the same as for the shape attribute. This ctypes array
+      contains the strides information from the underlying array. This strides
+      information is important for showing how many bytes must be jumped to
+      get to the next element in the array.
+
+    * data_as(obj): Return the data pointer cast to a particular c-types object.
+      For example, calling self._as_parameter_ is equivalent to
+      self.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p). Perhaps you want to use the data as a
+      pointer to a ctypes array of floating-point data:
+      self.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_double)).
+
+    * shape_as(obj): Return the shape tuple as an array of some other c-types
+      type. For example: self.shape_as(ctypes.c_short).
+
+    * strides_as(obj): Return the strides tuple as an array of some other
+      c-types type. For example: self.strides_as(ctypes.c_longlong).
+
+    Be careful using the ctypes attribute - especially on temporary
+    arrays or arrays constructed on the fly. For example, calling
+    ``(a+b).ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p)`` returns a pointer to memory
+    that is invalid because the array created as (a+b) is deallocated
+    before the next Python statement. You can avoid this problem using
+    either ``c=a+b`` or ``ct=(a+b).ctypes``. In the latter case, ct will
+    hold a reference to the array until ct is deleted or re-assigned.
+
+    If the ctypes module is not available, then the ctypes attribute
+    of array objects still returns something useful, but ctypes objects
+    are not returned and errors may be raised instead. In particular,
+    the object will still have the as parameter attribute which will
+    return an integer equal to the data attribute.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> import ctypes
+    >>> x
+    array([[0, 1],

+        from its base array at creation time, but a view of a writeable

+        (The opposite is not true, in that a view of a locked array may not
+        be made writeable.  However, currently, locking a base object does not
+        lock any views that already reference it, so under that circumstance it
+        is possible to alter the contents of a locked array via a previously

+    Copy of the array, cast to a specified type.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    dtype : str or dtype
+        Typecode or data-type to which the array is cast.
+    order : {'C', 'F', 'A', or 'K'}, optional
+        Controls the memory layout order of the result.
+        'C' means C order, 'F' means Fortran order, 'A'
+        means 'F' order if all the arrays are Fortran contiguous,
+        'C' order otherwise, and 'K' means as close to the
+        order the array elements appear in memory as possible.
+        Default is 'K'.
+    casting : {'no', 'equiv', 'safe', 'same_kind', 'unsafe'}, optional
+        Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Defaults to 'unsafe'
+        for backwards compatibility.
+
+          * 'no' means the data types should not be cast at all.
+          * 'equiv' means only byte-order changes are allowed.
+          * 'safe' means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.
+          * 'same_kind' means only safe casts or casts within a kind,
+            like float64 to float32, are allowed.
+          * 'unsafe' means any data conversions may be done.
+    subok : bool, optional
+        If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through (default), otherwise
+        the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array.
+    copy : bool, optional
+        By default, astype always returns a newly allocated array. If this
+        is set to false, and the `dtype`, `order`, and `subok`
+        requirements are satisfied, the input array is returned instead
+        of a copy.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    ComplexWarning :
+        When casting from complex to float or int. To avoid this,
+        one should use ``a.real.astype(t)``.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> x = np.array([1, 2, 2.5])
+    >>> x
+    array([ 1. ,  2. ,  2.5])

+
+    A field is a view of the array data with a given data-type. The values in

+    ----------
+    \\*args : Arguments (variable number and type)
+
+        * none: in this case, the method only works for arrays
+          with one element (`a.size == 1`), which element is
+          copied into a standard Python scalar object and returned.
+
+        * int_type: this argument is interpreted as a flat index into
+          the array, specifying which element to copy and return.
+
+        * tuple of int_types: functions as does a single int_type argument,
+          except that the argument is interpreted as an nd-index into the

+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    z : Standard Python scalar object
+        A copy of the specified element of the array as a suitable
+        Python scalar
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    When the data type of `a` is longdouble or clongdouble, item() returns
+    a scalar array object because there is no available Python scalar that
+    would not lose information. Void arrays return a buffer object for item(),
+    unless fields are defined, in which case a tuple is returned.
+
+    `item` is very similar to a[args], except, instead of an array scalar,
+    a standard Python scalar is returned. This can be useful for speeding up
+    access to elements of the array and doing arithmetic on elements of the
+    array using Python's optimized math.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> x = np.random.randint(9, size=(3, 3))

+    a.itemset(*args)
+
+    Insert scalar into an array (scalar is cast to array's dtype, if possible)
+
+    There must be at least 1 argument, and define the last argument
+    as *item*.  Then, ``a.itemset(*args)`` is equivalent to but faster
+    than ``a[args] = item``.  The item should be a scalar value and `args`
+    must select a single item in the array `a`.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    \*args : Arguments
+        If one argument: a scalar, only used in case `a` is of size 1.
+        If two arguments: the last argument is the value to be set
+        and must be a scalar, the first argument specifies a single array
+        element location. It is either an int or a tuple.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    Compared to indexing syntax, `itemset` provides some speed increase
+    for placing a scalar into a particular location in an `ndarray`,
+    if you must do this.  However, generally this is discouraged:
+    among other problems, it complicates the appearance of the code.
+    Also, when using `itemset` (and `item`) inside a loop, be sure

+    The UPDATEIFCOPY flag can never be set to True. The flag WRITEABLE

+    -----
+    Array flags provide information about how the memory area used

+    UPDATEIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED.
+
+    WRITEABLE (W) the data area can be written to;
+
+    ALIGNED (A) the data and strides are aligned appropriately for the hardware
+    (as determined by the compiler);
+
+    UPDATEIFCOPY (U) this array is a copy of some other array (referenced
+    by .base). When this array is deallocated, the base array will be
+    updated with the contents of this array.
+
+    All flags can be accessed using their first (upper case) letter as well

+    returns an instance of `ndarray_subclass` that looks at the same array

+
+    To see the documentation for a specific ufunc, use np.info().  For

+    (for speed) and linked into Python with NumPy's ufunc facility,
+    Python's help() function finds this page whenever help() is called
+    on a ufunc.
+
+    A detailed explanation of ufuncs can be found in the "ufuncs.rst"

+
+    Unary ufuncs:
+    =============
+
+    op(X, out=None)
+    Apply op to X elementwise
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    X : array_like

+    out : array_like
+        An array to store the output. Must be the same shape as `X`.
+

+    -------
+    r : array_like
+        `r` will have the same shape as `X`; if out is provided, `r`

+
+    Binary ufuncs:
+    ==============
+
+    op(X, Y, out=None)
+    Apply `op` to `X` and `Y` elementwise. May "broadcast" to make
+    the shapes of `X` and `Y` congruent.
+
+    The broadcasting rules are:
+
+    * Dimensions of length 1 may be prepended to either array.
+    * Arrays may be repeated along dimensions of length 1.

+    For a one-dimensional array, reduce produces results equivalent to:

+     for i in xrange(len(A)):

+    a : array_like
+        The array to act on.
+    axis : None or int or tuple of ints, optional
+        Axis or axes along which a reduction is performed.
+        The default (`axis` = 0) is perform a reduction over the first

+        which case it counts from the last to the first axis.

+        .. versionadded:: 1.7.0

+        axes, instead of a single axis or all the axes as before.
+
+        For operations which are either not commutative or not associative,
+        doing a reduction over multiple axes is not well-defined. The
+        ufuncs do not currently raise an exception in this case, but will
+        likely do so in the future.

+    A descriptive example:

+    Create a data type object.
+
+    A numpy array is homogeneous, and contains elements described by a
+    dtype object. A dtype object can be constructed from different
+    combinations of fundamental numeric types.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    obj
+        Object to be converted to a data type object.
+    align : bool, optional
+        Add padding to the fields to match what a C compiler would output
+        for a similar C-struct. Can be ``True`` only if `obj` is a dictionary
+        or a comma-separated string. If a struct dtype is being created,
+        this also sets a sticky alignment flag ``isalignedstruct``.
+    copy : bool, optional
+        Make a new copy of the data-type object. If ``False``, the result
+        may just be a reference to a built-in data-type object.

+    Record, one field name 'f1', containing int16:
+
+    >>> np.dtype([('f1', np.int16)])
+    dtype([('f1', '<i2')])

+    >>> np.dtype([('f1', [('f1', np.int16)])])
+    dtype([('f1', [('f1', '<i2')])])
+
+    Record, two fields: the first field contains an unsigned int, the
+    second an int32:
+
+    >>> np.dtype([('f1', np.uint), ('f2', np.int32)])
+    dtype([('f1', '<u4'), ('f2', '<i4')])

+
+    >>> np.dtype([('a','f8'),('b','S10')])
+    dtype([('a', '<f8'), ('b', '|S10')])
+
+    Using comma-separated field formats.  The shape is (2,3):
+
+    >>> np.dtype("i4, (2,3)f8")
+    dtype([('f0', '<i4'), ('f1', '<f8', (2, 3))])
+
+    Using tuples.  ``int`` is a fixed type, 3 the field's shape.  ``void``

+
+    >>> np.dtype({'names':['gender','age'], 'formats':['S1',np.uint8]})
+    dtype([('gender', '|S1'), ('age', '|u1')])
+
+    Offsets in bytes, here 0 and 25:

+    `formatter` is always reset with a call to `set_printoptions`.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    Floating point precision can be set:
+
+    >>> np.set_printoptions(precision=4)
+    >>> print np.array([1.123456789])
+    [ 1.1235]
+
+    Long arrays can be summarised:
+
+    >>> np.set_printoptions(threshold=5)
+    >>> print np.arange(10)
+    [0 1 2 ..., 7 8 9]
+
+    Small results can be suppressed:
+
+    >>> eps = np.finfo(float).eps
+    >>> x = np.arange(4.)
+    >>> x**2 - (x + eps)**2
+    array([ -4.9304e-32,  -4.4409e-16,   0.0000e+00,   0.0000e+00])
+    >>> np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)
+    >>> x**2 - (x + eps)**2
+    array([-0., -0.,  0.,  0.])
+
+    A custom formatter can be used to display array elements as desired:
+
+    >>> np.set_printoptions(formatter={'all':lambda x: 'int: '+str(-x)})
+    >>> x = np.arange(3)
+    >>> x
+    array([int: 0, int: -1, int: -2])
+    >>> np.set_printoptions()  # formatter gets reset
+    >>> x
+    array([0, 1, 2])
+
+    To put back the default options, you can use:
+
+    >>> np.set_printoptions(edgeitems=3,infstr='inf',

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : ndarray
+        Input array.
+    max_line_width : int, optional
+        The maximum number of columns the string should span. Newline
+        characters splits the string appropriately after array elements.
+    precision : int, optional
+        Floating point precision. Default is the current printing
+        precision (usually 8), which can be altered using `set_printoptions`.
+    suppress_small : bool, optional
+        Represent very small numbers as zero. A number is "very small" if it
+        is smaller than the current printing precision.
+    separator : str, optional
+        Inserted between elements.
+    prefix : str, optional
+        An array is typically printed as::
+
+          'prefix(' + array2string(a) + ')'
+
+        The length of the prefix string is used to align the
+        output correctly.
+    style : function, optional
+        A function that accepts an ndarray and returns a string.  Used only
+        when the shape of `a` is equal to ``()``, i.e. for 0-D arrays.
+    formatter : dict of callables, optional
+        If not None, the keys should indicate the type(s) that the respective
+        formatting function applies to.  Callables should return a string.
+        Types that are not specified (by their corresponding keys) are handled
+        by the default formatters.  Individual types for which a formatter
+        can be set are::
+
+            - 'bool'
+            - 'int'
+            - 'timedelta' : a `numpy.timedelta64`
+            - 'datetime' : a `numpy.datetime64`
+            - 'float'
+            - 'longfloat' : 128-bit floats
+            - 'complexfloat'
+            - 'longcomplexfloat' : composed of two 128-bit floats
+            - 'numpy_str' : types `numpy.string_` and `numpy.unicode_`
+            - 'str' : all other strings
+
+        Other keys that can be used to set a group of types at once are::
+
+            - 'all' : sets all types
+            - 'int_kind' : sets 'int'
+            - 'float_kind' : sets 'float' and 'longfloat'
+            - 'complex_kind' : sets 'complexfloat' and 'longcomplexfloat'

+
+.. note::
+   The `chararray` class exists for backwards compatibility with
+   Numarray, it is not recommended for new development. Starting from numpy
+   1.4, if one needs arrays of strings, it is recommended to use arrays of
+   `dtype` `object_`, `string_` or `unicode_`, and use the free functions
+   in the `numpy.char` module for fast vectorized string operations.
+
+Some methods will only be available if the corresponding string method is
+available in your version of Python.
+
+The preferred alias for `defchararray` is `numpy.char`.

 \subsection{Guard Failures}
 \label{sub:guard_failure}
+The last point in this discussion is the frequency of guard failures.
+Figure~\ref{fig:failing_guards} presents for each benchmark a list of the
+relative amounts of guards that ever fail and of guards that fail more than 200
+times. For guards that fail more than 200 times, as described before, a trace
+is recorded that starts from the guard, patching the guard so that later
+failures execute the new trace instead of taking the side-exit. Hence the
+numbers presented for guards that fail more than 200 times represent the 200
+failures up to the compilation of the bridge and all executions of the then
+attached bridge.
+
 \begin{figure}
     \include{figures/failing_guards_table}
     \caption{Failing guards}
     \label{fig:failing_guards}
 \end{figure}
 
+From Figure~\ref{fig:failing_guards} we can see that only a very small amount
+of all the guards in the optimized traces ever fail. This amount varies between
+2.4\% and 5.7\% of all guards. As can be expected, even less guards fail often
+enough that a bride is compiled for them, only 1.2\% to 3.6\% of all guards
+fail more than 200 times. Also of all failing guards a few fail extremely often
+and most fail rarely. The results emphasizes that as most of the guards never
+fail it is important to make sure that the successful execution of a guard does
+not have unnecessary overhead.
+
 
 \todo{add a footnote about why guards have a threshold of 200}

 \section{Conclusion}
 \label{sec:Conclusion}
+In this paper we have concentrated on guards, an operation typically found in
+tracing just-in-time compilers and used to denote points of possible control
+flow bifurcation in recorded traces.
+We described how, based on the observation that guards are a frequent operation
+in traces and that they do not fail often, guards have been implemented in the
+high and low level components of RPython's tracing JIT compiler.
 
-\todo{conclusion}
+Finally we have presented experimental data collected using the standard PyPy
+benchmark set to evaluate previous observations and assumptions. Our
+experiments showed that, as previously assumed, guards are a very common
+operation in traces. At the same time guards are associated with a high
+overhead, because for all compiled guards high- and low information needs to be
+stored to restore the execution state in case of a bail-out. The measurements
+showed that the compression techniques used in PyPy effectively reduce the
+overhead of guards, while it still produces a significant overhead. The results
+also showed that guard failure is a local event, meaning that there are few
+guards that fail at all, and ever fewer that fail very often, validating the
+concept of reducing the overhead of successful guard checks while incurring an
+additional overhead, besides leaving the optimized code, in the case of a
+bailout having to decode the compressed state representation, which on the
+other hand reduces the memory footprint storing data that is seldom used in a
+compact manner.
+
+\subsection{Future Work}
+% subsection Future Work (end)
+An aspect that requires further investigation is to experimentally validate
+different of the trade-off decisions that went into the design of guard in
+RPython's tracing JIT. Based on the observation that most guards do not fail
+very often or at all while there are many guard and a few fail very often it
+would be worth exploring if a more aggressive compression scheme for guards
+would be worth the memory saving in contrast to the increased decoding
+overhead. Based on the same observation we would like to explore the concept of
+LuaJIT's sparse snapshots and its applicability to PyPy. Taking the idea of
+data-driven optimization to investigate possible areas of optimization as was
+done here in retrospective to validate a design seems a promising approach in
+the context of tracing JITs.

 We described how, based on the observation that guards are a frequent operation
 in traces and that they do not fail often, guards have been implemented in the
 high and low level components of RPython's tracing JIT compiler.

+		SciMark2 (C version)
+
+This is an ANSI C version of the SciMark2 benchmark,
+translated from the original Java sources.  The intent
+in making this benchmark available in C is for mainly
+for performance comparisons.   For more information
+about SciMark, see http://math.nist.gov/scimark.
+
+Results of this benchmark can be sent to pozo at nist.gov.
+
+The program is split up into the main driver (scimark2.c) and
+kernel routines.  A sample makefile is included; 
+however, one could simply write 
+
+
+> cc -o scimark2  -O *.c
+
+and then run
+
+> scimark2
+
+This produces an output similar to
+
+
+**                                                              **

+Figure~\ref{fig:example} shows an example RPython function that checks
+whether a number reduces to 1 with less than 100 steps of the Collatz process.
+It uses an \lstinline{Even} and an \lstinline{Odd} class to box the numbers, to
+make the example more interesting. If the loop in \lstinline{check_reduces} is
+traced when \lstinline{a} is a multiple of four, the unoptimized

+		SciMark2 (C version)
+
+This is an ANSI C version of the SciMark2 benchmark,
+translated from the original Java sources.  The intent
+in making this benchmark available in C is for mainly
+for performance comparisons.   For more information
+about SciMark, see http://math.nist.gov/scimark.
+
+Results of this benchmark can be sent to pozo at nist.gov.
+
+The program is split up into the main driver (scimark2.c) and
+kernel routines.  A sample makefile is included; 
+however, one could simply write 
+
+
+> cc -o scimark2  -O *.c
+
+and then run
+
+> scimark2
+
+This produces an output similar to

+efficiently through using the techniques described above. On the other hand
+comparing the results to the xz compression which only requires between 17.1\%
+and 21.1\% of the space required by our compression shows that the compression
+is not optimal but a trade-off between the required space and the time needed
+to build a good compressed representation of the compressed resume data for the
+large amount of guards present in the traces.
+
+\subsection{Guard Failures}
+\label{sub:guard_failure}
+The last point in this discussion is the frequency of guard failures.
+Figure~\ref{fig:failing_guards} presents for each benchmark a list of the
+relative amounts of guards that ever fail and of guards that fail more than 200
+times.\footnote{
+    The threshold of 200 is rather high. It was picked experimentally to give
+    good results for long-running programs.
+}
+As described before, for guards that fail more than 200 times, a trace
+is recorded that starts from the guard. Afterwards the guard is patched so that later
+failures execute the new trace instead of taking the side-exit. Hence the
+numbers presented for guards that fail more than 200 times represent the 200
+failures up to the compilation of the bridge and all executions of the then
+attached bridge.
+
+\begin{figure}
+    \include{figures/failing_guards_table}
+    \caption{Failing guards relative to the total number of guards}
+    \label{fig:failing_guards}
+\end{figure}
+
+From Figure~\ref{fig:failing_guards} we can see that only a very small amount
+of all the guards in the optimized traces ever fail. This amount varies between
+2.4\% and 5.7\% of all guards. As can be expected, even less guards fail often
+enough that a bride is compiled for them, only 1.2\% to 3.6\% of all guards
+fail more than 200 times. Also of all failing guards a few fail extremely often
+and most fail rarely. The results emphasizes that as most of the guards never
+fail it is important to make sure that the successful execution of a guard does
+not have unnecessary overhead.

 \section{Conclusion}
 \label{sec:Conclusion}
+In this paper we have concentrated on guards, an operation typically found in
+tracing just-in-time compilers and used to denote points of possible control
+flow divergence in recorded traces.
+We described how, based on the observation that guards are a frequent operation
+in traces and that they do not fail often, guards have been implemented in the
+high and low level components of RPython's tracing JIT compiler.
 
-\todo{conclusion}
+Finally we have presented experimental data collected using the standard PyPy
+benchmark set to evaluate previous observations and assumptions. Our
+experiments showed that, as previously assumed, guards are a very common
+operation in traces. At the same time guards are associated with a high
+overhead, because for all compiled guards information needs to be
+stored to restore the execution state in case of a bail-out. The measurements
+showed that the compression techniques used in PyPy effectively reduce the
+overhead of guards, while it still produces a significant overhead. The results
+also showed that guard failure is a local event: there are few
+guards that fail at all, and even fewer that fail very often.
+These numbers validate the design decision of reducing the overhead of
+successful guard checks as much as possible while paying a higher price in the
+case of bailout due to having to decode compressed state representation.
+The compressed state representation is reduces the memory footprint of rarely
+used data.
+
+Based on the observation that most guards do not fail very often or at all it
+would be worth exploring if a more aggressive compression scheme for guards
+would be worth the memory saving in contrast to the increased decoding
+overhead. Based on the same observation we would like to explore the concept of
+LuaJIT's sparse snapshots and its applicability to PyPy.

+All the numpy python code has been imported into lib_pypy/numpy,
+from a random version of numpy (git version fd15162 to be exact).
+
+pypy has a builtin module called _numpypy that provides things like
+ndarray, dtypes, ufuncs, and binfuncs.
+
+The branch will be complete when it is possible to run
+pypy -c 'import numpy;numpy.test()' and most tests pass.
+
+The strategy for completing the branch is:
+1. Set up pypy and cpython
+2. Find missing functionality or a failing test 
+3. Fix and test
+
+Currently, 'import numpy' fails, since we are missing the
+c-level multiarray module.
+
+So what we need in the short-term is to implement a python version of
+multiarray, work has been begun and it lives in lib_pypy/numpypy/multiarray.py
+
+And in more detail:
+1a. Get a recent trunk version of numpy
+1a. Install numpy into python, for extra points use virtualenv, by running 'python setup.py install' in the numpy trunk
+1c. Get the source tree for this branch of pypy
+1d. Download a nightly build of pypy and put the binary into the source tree, preferably at pypy/translator/goal/pypy. Alternatively, translate pypy
+2a. Run 'pypy/translator/goal/pypy -c 'import numpy;numpy.test()'
+2b. Something will fail. Poke around to see what the missing function or import is supposed to do. Hint: try http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/index.html
+2c. Let us know you are planning to work on this, usually a note on IRC will be sufficient.
+2c. Write a test for the missing functionality. For instance, tests for multiarray live in lib_pypy/numpypy/test/test_multiarray.py Try to think of corner cases: inappropriate arguments, missing defaults, and other wierd combination of arguments.

+   is identical to a ``item[]`` argument.  So you can pass an argument that
+   is accepted by either C type, like for example passing a Python string
+   to a ``char *`` argument (because it works for ``char[]`` arguments)
+   or a list of integers to a ``int *`` argument (it works for ``int[]``
+   arguments).  Note that even if you want to pass a single ``item``,
+   you need to specify it in a list of length 1; for example, a ``struct
+   foo *`` argument might be passed as ``[[field1, field2...]]``.
+
+As an optimization, the CPython version of CFFI assumes that a function
+with a ``char *`` argument to which you pass a Python string will not
+actually modify the array of characters passed in, and so passes directly
+a pointer inside the Python string object.

+   `(***)` ``long double`` support.
+   Such a number is passed around in a cdata object to avoid loosing
+   precision, because a normal Python floating-point number only contains
+   enough precision for a ``double``.  To convert it to a regular float,
+   call ``float()``.  If you want to operate on such numbers
+   without any precision loss, you need to define and use a family of C
+   functions like ``long double add(long double a, long double b);``.

Log:	Fix test_c to pass both on Python 2.6-2.7 and on Python 3.3.

	Will not care about Python 3.0-3.2 for the test suite because of the
	u'' syntax used everywhere, which was re-added in Python 3.3.

Log:	hg merge 'python3-port': support Python 3.x as well. Thanks Amaury
	for doing the first part of this! Right now tested only with Python
	3.3. Hard to run the test suite on Python 3.2 because of the u''
	literals.

+The goal of this paper is to understand the design constraints when
+implementing guards. Guards have a runtime cost, they take time to execute. On

+The goal of this paper is to understand the design constraints when

+CFFI release 0.3
+================
+
+Hi everybody,
+
+We released `CFFI 0.3`_.  This is the first release that supports more
+than CPython 2.x ``:-)``
+
+* CPython 2.6, 2.7, and **3.x** are supported.
+
+* **PyPy trunk** is supported.
+
+.. _`CFFI 0.3`: http://cffi.readthedocs.org
+
+In more details, the main news are:
+
+* support for PyPy.  You need to get a trunk version of PyPy, which
+  comes with the built-in module ``_cffi_backend`` to use with the CFFI
+  release.  For testing, you can download the `Linux 32/64 versions of
+  PyPy trunk`__.  The OS/X and Windows versions of ``_cffi_backend``
+  are not tested at all so far, so probably don't work yet.
+
+* support for Python 3.  It is unknown which exact version is
+  required; probably 3.2 or even earlier, but we need 3.3 to run the
+  tests.  It runs out of the same sources.
+
+* the main change in the API is that you need to use ``ffi.string(cdata)``
+  instead of ``str(cdata)`` or ``unicode(cdata)``.  The motivation for this
+  change was the Python 3 compatibility.  If your Python 2 code used to
+  contain ``str(<cdata 'char *'>)``, it would interpret the memory content
+  as a null-terminated string; but on Python 3 it would just return a
+  different string, namely ``"<cdata 'char *'>"``, and proceed without even
+  a crash, which is bad.  So ffi.string() solves it by always returning
+  the memory content as an 8-bit string (which is a str in Python 2 and
+  a bytes in Python 3).
+
+* other minor API changes are documented at
+  http://cffi.readthedocs.org/ (grep for ``version 0.3``).
+
+.. __: http://buildbot.pypy.org/nightly/trunk/
+
+Upcoming work, to be done before release 1.0:
+
+* expose to the user the module ``cffi.model`` in a possibly refactored
+  way, for people that don't like (or for some reason can't easily use)
+  strings containing snippets of C declarations.  We are thinking about
+  refactoring it in such a way that it has a ctypes-compatible
+  interface, to ease porting existing code from ctypes to cffi.  Note
+  that this would concern only the C type and function declarations, not
+  all the rest of ctypes.
+
+* CFFI 1.0 will also have a corresponding PyPy release.  We are thinking
+  about calling it PyPy 2.0 and including the whole of CFFI (instead of
+  just the ``_cffi_backend`` module like now).  In other words it will
+  support CFFI out of the box --- we want to push forward usage of CFFI
+  in PyPy ``:-)``
+
+
+Cheers,

In addition, many of the more dynamic features of Prolog (like assert), despite their popularity, are not well supported. We present a high-level continuation-based Prolog interpreter based on the {PyPy} project. The {PyPy} project makes it possible to easily and efficiently implement dynamic languages. It provides tools that automatically generate a just-in-time compiler for a given interpreter of the target language, by using partial evaluation techniques. The resulting Prolog implementation is surprisingly efficient: it clearly outperforms existing interpreters of Prolog in high-level languages such as Java. Moreover, on some benchmarks, our system outperforms state-of-the-art {WAM-based} Prolog implementations. Our paper aims to show that declarative languages such as Prolog can indeed benefit from having a just-in-time compiler and that {PyPy} can form the basis for implementing programming languages other than Python.},

Knowing which objects do not escape allows a compiler to perform aggressive {optimizations.This} paper presents a new intraprocedural and interprocedural algorithm for escape analysis in the context of dynamic compilation where the compiler has to cope with dynamic class loading and deoptimization. It was implemented for Sun Microsystems' Java {HotSpot&#8482;} client compiler and operates on an intermediate representation in {SSA} form. We introduce equi-escape sets for the efficient propagation of escape information between related objects. The analysis is used for scalar replacement of fields and synchronization removal, as well as for stack allocation of objects and fixed-sized arrays. The results of the interprocedural analysis support the compiler in inlining decisions and allow actual parameters to be allocated on the caller {stack.Under} certain circumstances, the Java {HotSpot&#8482;} {VM} is forced to stop executing a method's machine code and transfer control to the interpreter. This is called deoptimization. Since the interpreter does not know about the scalar replacement and synchronization removal performed by the compiler, the deoptimization framework was extended to reallocate and relock objects on demand.},

The second extends the first by using additional high-level information such as field names. The third extends the second with a flow-insensitive analysis. Although other researchers suggests using types to disambiguate memory references, none evaluates its effectiveness. We perform both static and dynamic evaluations of type-based alias analyses for Modula-3, a statically-typed type-safe language. The static analysis reveals that type compatibility alone yields a very imprecise alias analysis, but the other two analyses significantly improve alias precision. We use redundant load elimination {(RLE)} to demonstrate the effectiveness of the three alias algorithms in terms of the opportunities for optimization, the impact on simulated execution times, and to compute an upper bound on what a perfect alias analysis would yield. We show modest dynamic improvements for {(RLE)}, and more surprisingly, that on average our alias analysis is within 2.5\% of a perfect alias analysis with respect to {RLE} on 8 Modula-3 programs. These results illustrate that to explore thoroughly the effectiveness of alias analyses, researchers need static, dynamic, and upper-bound analysis. In addition, we show that for type-safe languages like Modula-3 and Java, a fast and simple alias analysis may be sufficient for many applications.},

Through encapsulation techniques, abstractions extend the repertory of data structures and their concomitant operations that are processed directly by a compiler. For example, a compiler might not offer sets or set operations in its base language, but abstractions allow a programmer to define sets in terms of constructs already recognized by the compiler. In particular, abstractions can allow new constructs to be defined in terms of other abstractions. Although significant power is gained through the use of layered abstractions, object code quality suffers as increasingly less of a program's data structures and operations are exposed to the optimization phase of a compiler. Multiple references to abstractions are also inefficient, since the interaction between abstractions is often complex yet hidden from a compiler. Abstractions are most flexible when they are cast in general terms; a specific invocation is then tailored by the abstraction to obtain the appropriate code. A sequence of references to such abstractions can be inefficient due to functional redundancy that cannot be detected at compile-time. By integrating the references, the offending segments of code can be moved to a more advantageous position. Although procedure integration materializes abstracted constructs, the abstractions can still be ineligible for optimization using current techniques; in particular, abstractions often involve loops and conditional branches that can obscure code that would otherwise be eligible for code motion.},

The point of our algorithm is the decomposition of the bi-directional structure of the known placement algorithms into a sequence of a backward and a forward analysis, which directly implies the efficiency result. Moreover, the new compositional structure opens the algorithm for modification: two further uni-directional analysis components exclude any unnecessary code motion. This laziness of our algorithm minimizes the register pressure, which has drastic effects on the run-time behaviour of the optimized programs in practice, where an economical use of registers is essential.},

For each level, we design a corresponding type system and apply a generic type inference engine - for example, the garbage collector is written in a style that manipulates simulated pointer and address objects, and when translated to C these operations become C-level pointer and address instructions.},

Our {SELF} implementation runs twice as fast as the fastest Smalltalk implementation, despite {SELF's} lack of classes and explicit variables. To compensate for the absence of classes, our system uses implementation-level maps to transparently group objects cloned from the same prototype, providing data type information and eliminating the apparent space overhead for prototype-based systems. To compensate for dynamic typing, user-defined control structures, and the lack of explicit variables, our system dynamically compiles multiple versions of a source method, each customized according to its receiver's map. Within each version the type of the receiver is fixed, and thus the compiler can statically bind and inline all messages sent to self. Message splitting and type prediction extract and preserve even more static type information, allowing the compiler to inline many other messages. Inlining dramatically improves performance and eliminates the need to hard-wire low-level methods such as +,==, and {ifTrue:.} Despite inlining and other optimizations, our system still supports interactive programming environments. The system traverses internal dependency lists to invalidate all compiled methods affected by a programming change.

We introduce equi-escape sets for the efficient propagation of escape information between related objects. The analysis is used for scalar replacement of fields and synchronization removal, as well as for stack allocation of objects and fixed-sized arrays. The results of the interprocedural analysis support the compiler in inlining decisions and allow actual parameters to be allocated on the caller {stack.Under} certain circumstances, the Java {HotSpot&#8482;} {VM} is forced to stop executing a method's machine code and transfer control to the interpreter. This is called deoptimization. Since the interpreter does not know about the scalar replacement and synchronization removal performed by the compiler, the deoptimization framework was extended to reallocate and relock objects on demand.},

In addition, many of the more dynamic features of Prolog (like assert), despite their popularity, are not well supported. We present a high-level continuation-based Prolog interpreter based on the {PyPy} project. The {PyPy} project makes it possible to easily and efficiently implement dynamic languages. It provides tools that automatically generate a just-in-time compiler for a given interpreter of the target language, by using partial evaluation techniques. The resulting Prolog implementation is surprisingly efficient: it clearly outperforms existing interpreters of Prolog in high-level languages such as Java. Moreover, on some benchmarks, our system outperforms state-of-the-art {WAM-based} Prolog implementations. Our paper aims to show that declarative languages such as Prolog can indeed benefit from having a just-in-time compiler and that {PyPy} can form the basis for implementing programming languages other than Python.},

However, the ability to modify a program at runtime can be both a boon-in terms of flexibility-, and a curse-in terms of tool support. For instance, usage of these features hampers the design of type systems, the accuracy of static analysis techniques, or the introduction of optimizations by compilers. In this paper, we perform an empirical study of a large Smalltalk codebase- often regarded as the poster-child in terms of availability of these features-, in order to assess how much these features are actually used in practice, whether some are used more than others, and in which kinds of projects. These results are useful to make informed decisions about which features to consider when designing language extensions or tool support.},

+Besides being common, guards have various costs associated with them.
 Guards have a runtime cost, they take time to execute. Therefore it is
 important to make the on-trace execution of guards as efficient as possible. On
 the other hand, guards are possible deoptimization points. The recorded and
 compiled path has to be left if a guard fails, returning control to the
 interpreter. Therefore guards need enough associated information to enable
 rebuilding the interpreter state. The memory overhead of this information

However, the ability to modify a program at runtime can be both a boon-in terms of flexibility-, and a curse-in terms of tool support. For instance, usage of these features hampers the design of type systems, the accuracy of static analysis techniques, or the introduction of optimizations by compilers. In this paper, we perform an empirical study of a large Smalltalk codebase- often regarded as the poster-child in terms of availability of these features-, in order to assess how much these features are actually used in practice, whether some are used more than others, and in which kinds of projects. These results are useful to make informed decisions about which features to consider when designing language extensions or tool support.},

+========================
+STM implementation model
+========================
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Objects are either global (visible to everybody, and read-only), or
+they are local (visible only to the current thread).
+
+Objects start by being local: when a thread allocates new objects, they
+are not visible to other threads until a commit occurs.  When the commit
+occurs, the surviving local objects become global.
+
+Once an object is global, its content never changes any more: only parts
+of the object header can be updated by the STM mechanisms.
+
+If a following transaction modifies a global object, the changes are
+done in a local copy.  If this transaction successfully commits, the
+original global object is *not* changed --- it is really immutable.  But
+the copy becomes global, and the old global object's header is updated
+with a pointer to the new global object.
+
+
+CPUs model
+----------
+
+For our purposes the following simplified model is enough (x86 only):
+every CPU's load instructions get the current value from the main memory
+(the cache is transparent).  However, a CPU's store instructions might
+be delayed and only show up later in main memory.  The delayed stores
+are always flushed to main memory in program order.
+
+Of course if the same CPU loads a value just stored, it will see the
+value as modified (self-consistency); but other CPUs might temporarily
+still see the old value.
+
+The MFENCE instruction waits until all delayed stores from this CPU have
+been flushed.  (A CPU has no built-in way to wait until *other* CPU's
+stores are flushed.)
+
+The LOCK CMPXCHG instruction does a MFENCE followed by an atomic
+compare-and-exchange operation.
+
+
+Object header
+-------------
+
+Every object starts with three fields:
+
+- h_global (boolean)
+- h_nonmodified (boolean)
+- h_version (unsigned integer)
+
+The h_version is an unsigned "version number".  More about it below.
+The other two fields are flags.  (In practice they are just two bits
+of the GC h_tid field.)
+
+
+Transaction details
+-------------------
+
+Every CPU is either running one transaction, or is busy trying to commit
+the transaction it has so far.  The following data is transaction-local:
+
+- start_time
+- global2local
+
+The ``start_time`` is the "time" at which the transaction started.  All
+reads and writes done so far in the transaction appear consistent with
+the state at time ``start_time``.  The "time" is a single global number
+that is atomically incremented whenever a transaction commits.
+
+``global2local`` is a dictionary-like mapping of global objects to their
+corresponding local objects.
+
+
+Pseudo-code during transactions
+---------------------------------------
+
+Variable names:
+
+* ``P`` is a pointer to any object.
+
+* ``G`` is a pointer to a *global* object.
+
+* ``R`` is a pointer to an object that was checked for being
+  *read-ready*: reading its fields is ok.
+
+* ``L`` is a pointer to a *local* object.  Reading its fields is
+  always ok, but not necessarily writing.
+
+* ``W`` is a pointer to a local object ready to *write*.
+
+
+``W = Allocate(size)`` allocates a local object, and as the name of
+the variable suggests, returns it ready to write::
+
+    def Allocate(size):
+        W = malloc(size)
+        W->h_global = False
+        W->h_nonmodified = False
+        W->h_version = 0
+        return W
+
+
+``R = LatestGlobalVersion(G)`` takes a pointer ``G`` to a global object,
+and if necessary follows the chain of newer versions, until it reaches
+the most recent version ``R``.  Then it checks the version number of
+``R`` to see that it was not created after ``start_time``.
+Pseudo-code::
+
+    def LatestGlobalVersion(G):
+        R = G
+        while (v := R->h_version) & 1:    # "has a more recent version"
+            R = v & ~ 1
+        if v > start_time:                # object too recent?
+            validate_fast()               # try to move start_time forward
+            return LatestGlobalVersion(G) # restart searching from G
+        PossiblyUpdateChain(G)
+        return R
+
+
+``R = DirectReadBarrier(P)`` is the first version of the read barrier.
+It takes a random pointer ``P`` and returns a possibly different pointer
+``R`` out of which we can read from the object.  The result ``R``
+remains valid for read access until either the current transaction ends,
+or until a write into the same object is done.
+
+::
+
+    def DirectReadBarrier(P):
+        if not P->h_global:         # fast-path
+            return P
+        R = LatestGlobalVersion(P)
+        if R in global2local:
+            L = global2local[R]
+            return L
+        else:
+            AddInReadSet(R)         # see below
+            return R
+
+
+``L = Localize(R)`` is an operation that takes a read-ready pointer to
+a global object and returns a corresponding pointer to a local object.
+
+::
+
+    def Localize(R):
+        if P in global2local:
+            return global2local[P]
+        L = malloc(sizeof R)
+        L->h_nonmodified = True
+        L->h_version = P
+        L->objectbody... = R->objectbody...
+        global2local[R] = L
+        return L
+
+
+``L = LocalizeReadBarrier(P)`` is a different version of the read
+barrier that works by returning a local object.
+
+::
+
+    def LocalizeReadBarrier(P):
+        if not P->h_global:       # fast-path
+            return P
+        R = LatestGlobalVersion(P)
+        L = Localize(R)
+        return L
+
+
+``W = WriteBarrier(P)`` is the write barrier.
+
+::
+
+    def WriteBarrier(P):
+        W = LocalizeReadBarrier(P)
+        W->h_nonmodified = False
+        return W
+
+
+``R = AdaptiveReadBarrier(P)`` is the adaptive read barrier.  It can use
+the technique of either ``DirectReadBarrier`` or
+``LocalizeReadBarrier``, based on heuristics for better performance::
+
+    def AdaptiveReadBarrier(P):
+        if not P->h_global:       # fast-path
+            return P
+        R = LatestGlobalVersion(P)
+        if R in global2local:
+            return global2local[R]
+        if R seen often enough in readset:
+            L = Localize(R)       # LocalizeReadBarrier
+            return L
+        else:
+            AddInReadSet(R)       # DirectReadBarrier
+            return R
+
+
+This adaptive localization of read-only objects is useful for example in
+the following situation: we have a pointer ``P1`` to some parent object,
+out of which we repeatedly try to read the same field ``Field`` and use
+the result ``P`` in some call.  Because the call may possibly have write
+effects to the parent object, we normally need to redo
+``DirectReadBarrier`` on ``P1`` every time.  If instead we do
+``AdaptiveReadBarrier`` then after a few iterations it will localize the
+object and return ``L1``.  On ``L1`` no read barrier is needed any more.
+
+Moreover, if we also need to read the subobject ``P``, we also need to
+call a read barrier on it every time.  It may return ``L`` after a few
+iterations, but this time we win less, because during the next iteration
+we again read ``P`` out of ``L1``.  The trick is that when we read a
+field out of a local object ``L1``, and it is a pointer on which we
+subsequently do a read barrier, then afterwards we can update the
+original pointer directly in ``L1``.
+
+Similarily, if we start with a global ``R1`` and read a pointer ``P``
+which is updated to its latest global version ``R``, then we can update
+the original pointer in-place.
+
+The only case in which it is not permitted xxx
+
+::
+
+    def DependentUpdate(R1, Field, R):
+        if R1->h_global:     # can't modify R1 unless it is local
+            return
+        R1->Field = R        # possibly update the pointer
+

+Auto-localization of some objects
+----------------------------------------
+
+The "fast-path" markers above are quick checks that are supposed to be
+inlined in the caller, so that we only have to pay for a full call to a
+barrier implementation when the fast-path fails.
+
+However, even the fast-path of ``DirectReadBarrier`` fails repeatedly
+when the ``DirectReadBarrier`` is invoked repeatedly on the same set of
+global objects.  This occurs in example of code that repeatedly
+traverses the same data structure, visiting the same objects over and
+over again.
+
+If the objects that make up the data structure were local, then we would
+completely avoid triggering the read barrier's implementation.  So
+occasionally, it is better to *localize* global objects even when they
+are only read from.
+
+This is done by tweaking ``AddInReadSet``, whose main purpose is to
+record the read object in a set (actually a list)::
+
+    def AddInReadSet(R):
+        if R not in recent_reads_cache:
+            list_of_read_objects.append(R)
+            recent_reads_cache[R] = 1
+            # the cache is fixed-size, so the line above
+            # possibly evinces another older entry
+            return R
         else:
-            AddInReadSet(R)       # DirectReadBarrier
-            return R
-
-
-This adaptive localization of read-only objects is useful for example in
-the following situation: we have a pointer ``P1`` to some parent object,
-out of which we repeatedly try to read the same field ``Field`` and use
-the result ``P`` in some call.  Because the call may possibly have write
-effects to the parent object, we normally need to redo
-``DirectReadBarrier`` on ``P1`` every time.  If instead we do
-``AdaptiveReadBarrier`` then after a few iterations it will localize the
-object and return ``L1``.  On ``L1`` no read barrier is needed any more.
-
-Moreover, if we also need to read the subobject ``P``, we also need to
-call a read barrier on it every time.  It may return ``L`` after a few
-iterations, but this time we win less, because during the next iteration
-we again read ``P`` out of ``L1``.  The trick is that when we read a
-field out of a local object ``L1``, and it is a pointer on which we
-subsequently do a read barrier, then afterwards we can update the
-original pointer directly in ``L1``.
-
-Similarily, if we start with a global ``R1`` and read a pointer ``P``
-which is updated to its latest global version ``R``, then we can update
-the original pointer in-place.
-
-The only case in which it is not permitted xxx
-
-::
-
-    def DependentUpdate(R1, Field, R):
-        if R1->h_global:     # can't modify R1 unless it is local
-            return
-        R1->Field = R        # possibly update the pointer
-
-

+Auto-localization of some objects
+----------------------------------------
+
+The "fast-path" markers above are quick checks that are supposed to be
+inlined in the caller, so that we only have to pay for a full call to a
+barrier implementation when the fast-path fails.
+
+However, even the fast-path of ``DirectReadBarrier`` fails repeatedly
+when the ``DirectReadBarrier`` is invoked repeatedly on the same set of
+global objects.  This occurs in example of code that repeatedly
+traverses the same data structure, visiting the same objects over and
+over again.
+
+If the objects that make up the data structure were local, then we would
+completely avoid triggering the read barrier's implementation.  So
+occasionally, it is better to *localize* global objects even when they
+are only read from.
+
+This is done by tweaking ``AddInReadSet``, whose main purpose is to
+record the read object in a set (actually a list)::
+
+    def AddInReadSet(R):
+        if R not in recent_reads_cache:
+            list_of_read_objects.append(R)
+            recent_reads_cache[R] = 1
+            # the cache is fixed-size, so the line above
+            # possibly evinces another older entry
+            return R
         else:
-            AddInReadSet(R)       # DirectReadBarrier
-            return R
-
-
-This adaptive localization of read-only objects is useful for example in
-the following situation: we have a pointer ``P1`` to some parent object,
-out of which we repeatedly try to read the same field ``Field`` and use
-the result ``P`` in some call.  Because the call may possibly have write
-effects to the parent object, we normally need to redo
-``DirectReadBarrier`` on ``P1`` every time.  If instead we do
-``AdaptiveReadBarrier`` then after a few iterations it will localize the
-object and return ``L1``.  On ``L1`` no read barrier is needed any more.
-
-Moreover, if we also need to read the subobject ``P``, we also need to
-call a read barrier on it every time.  It may return ``L`` after a few
-iterations, but this time we win less, because during the next iteration
-we again read ``P`` out of ``L1``.  The trick is that when we read a
-field out of a local object ``L1``, and it is a pointer on which we
-subsequently do a read barrier, then afterwards we can update the
-original pointer directly in ``L1``.
-
-Similarily, if we start with a global ``R1`` and read a pointer ``P``
-which is updated to its latest global version ``R``, then we can update
-the original pointer in-place.
-
-The only case in which it is not permitted xxx
-
-::
-
-    def DependentUpdate(R1, Field, R):
-        if R1->h_global:     # can't modify R1 unless it is local
-            return
-        R1->Field = R        # possibly update the pointer
-

+
+Note that the localized objects are just copies of the global objects.
+So all the pointers they normally contain are pointers to further global
+objects.  If we have a data structure involving a number of objects,
+when traversing it we are going to fetch global pointers out of
+localized objects, and we still need read barriers to go from the global
+objects to the next local objects.
+
+To get the most out of the optimization above, we also need to "fix"
+local objects to change their pointers to go directly to further
+local objects.
+
+So ``L = ReadGlobalToLocal(R, R_Container, FieldName)`` is called with
+optionally ``R_Container`` and ``FieldName`` referencing some
+container's field out of which ``R`` was read::

+version::

-Pseudo-code: read/write barriers
+Read/write barriers design
 ---------------------------------------
 
-Variable names:
+The read/write barriers are designed with the following goals in mind:
 
-* ``P`` is a pointer to any object.
+- In the source code (graphs from RPython), variables containing
+  pointers can be annotated as beloning to one of 6 categories:
 
-* ``G`` is a pointer to a *global* object.
+  * ``P`` is a pointer to any object.
 
-* ``R`` is a pointer to an object that was checked for being
-  *read-ready*: reading its fields is ok.
+  * ``G`` is a pointer to a *global* object.
 
-* ``L`` is a pointer to a *local* object.  We can always read from
-  but not necessarily write to local objects.
+  * ``R`` is a pointer to an object that was checked for being
+    *read-ready*: reading its fields is ok.
 
-* ``W`` is a pointer to a *writable* local object.
+  * ``O`` is an *old* pointer that used to be read-ready, but in which
+    we may have written to in the meantime
 
+  * ``L`` is a pointer to a *local* object.  We can always read from
+    but not necessarily write to local objects.
+
+  * ``W`` is a pointer to a *writable* local object.
+
+- The goal is to insert calls to the following write barriers so that we
+  only ever read from objects in the ``R``, ``L`` or ``W`` categories,
+  and only ever write to objects in the ``W`` category.
+
+- The read barriers themselves need to ensure that
+  ``list_of_read_objects`` contains exactly the set of global objects
+  that have been read from.  These objects must all be of the most
+  recent revision that is not more recent than ``start_time``.  If an
+  object has got a revision more recent than ``start_time``, then the
+  current transaction is in conflict.  The transaction is aborted as
+  soon as this case is detected.
+
+- The write barriers make sure that all modified objects are local and
+  the ``h_written`` flag is set.
+
+- All barriers ensure that ``global_to_local`` satisfies the following
+  property for any local object ``L``: either ``L`` was created by
+  this transaction (``L->h_revision == NULL``) or else satisfy
+  ``global_to_local[L->h_revision] == L``.

+Committing is a four-steps process:
+
+- We first find all global objects that we have written to,
+  and mark them "locked" by putting in their ``h_revision`` field
+  a special value that will cause parallel CPUs to spin loop in
+  ``LatestGlobalRevision``.  We also prepare the local versions
+  of these objects to become the next head of the chained lists,
+  by fixing the headers.
+
+- We atomically increase the global time (with LOCK CPMXCHG).  This
+  causes a MFENCE too.  (Useful in later ports to non-x86 CPUs: it makes
+  sure that the local objects we are about to expose are fully visible
+  to other CPUs, in their latest and last version.)
+
+- We check again that all read objects are still up-to-date, i.e. have
+  not been replaced by a revision more recent than ``start_time``.
+  (This is the last chance to abort a conflicting transaction; if we
+  do, we have to remember to release the locks.)
+
+- Finally, we fix the global objects written to by overriding their
+  ``h_revision``.  We put there a pointer to the previously-local
+  object, ``| 1``.  The previously-local object plays from now on
+  the role of the global head of the chained list.

+This last line is a violation of the rule that global objects are
+immutable.  It still works because it is only an optimization that will
+avoid some chain-walking in the future.  If two threads conflict in
+updating the same field to possibly different values, it is undefined
+what exactly occurs: other CPUs can see either the original or any of
+the modified values.  It works because the original and each modified
+value are all interchangeable as far as correctness goes.

+C/C++, this overhead is very low, for CPython the code becomes 30 times slower.
+In LuaJIT, the overhead is a slowdown of 70\%. For PyPy, sqrt(Fix16) is only
+slightly slower than sqrt(int), which is itself three times slower than
+sqrt(float). This is probably due to the additional overflow checking necessary

+than the C version. However, that is not actually due to the overhead of
+operator overloading but due to the additional overflow checking necessary
+for integer arithmetic in Python. The JIT does not manage to prove that the
+integer operations in these benchmarks cannot overflow and therefore cannot
+optimize away the overflow checking. This is also the reason why sqrt(float) is
+so much faster than sqrt(int) for PyPy.
+The fact that LuaJIT and PyPy do so well on
 sqrt(Fix16) shows that the allocation removal/sinking optimizations work well
 in both JITs.

 Committing is a four-steps process:

+We also prepare the local versions of these objects to become the next

-- We atomically increase the global time (with LOCK CPMXCHG).  This
-  causes a MFENCE too.  (Useful in later ports to non-x86 CPUs: it makes
-  sure that the local objects we are about to expose are fully visible
-  to other CPUs, in their latest and last version.)
+2. We atomically increase the global time (with LOCK CMPXCHG).  This
+causes a MFENCE too: all prepared local objects are visible to all other
+CPUs afterwards.
 
-- We check again that all read objects are still up-to-date, i.e. have
-  not been replaced by a revision more recent than ``start_time``.
-  (This is the last chance to abort a conflicting transaction; if we
-  do, we have to remember to release the locks.)

-- Finally, we fix the global objects written to by overriding their
-  ``h_revision``.  We put there a pointer to the previously-local
-  object, ``| 1``.  The previously-local object plays from now on
-  the role of the global head of the chained list.
+4. Finally, we unlock the global objects by overriding their
+``h_revision``.  We put there now a pointer to the corresponding
+previously-local object.  The previously-local object plays from now on
+the role of the global head of the chained list.
+
+In pseudo-code::
+
+    def CommitTransaction():
+        cur_time = global_cur_time
+        AcquireLocks(cur_time)
+        while not CMPXCHG(&global_cur_time, cur_time, cur_time + 2):
+            cur_time = global_cur_time    # try again
+            AcquireLocksAgain(cur_time)
+        Validate(cur_time)
+        UpdateChainHeads()
+
+Note the general style of usage of CMPXCHG: we first read normally the
+current version of some data (here ``global_cur_time``), do some
+preparations based on this value (here ``AcquireLocks``), and then do
+the expensive CMPXCHG operation.  It checks atomically if the value 
+of the data is still equal to the old value; if yes, it replaces it
+with a new specified value and returns True; otherwise, it simply
+returns False.  In the latter case we just loop again.
+
+Here is ``AcquireLocks``, doing both the locking of the global objects
+and the fixing of the local objects.  This is done together *before* we
+use CMPXCHG, so that after a successful CMPXCHG the other CPUs are
+guaranteed to see the new values --- both the locks and the
+previously-local objects with the proper fixes.
+
+Note that "locking" here only means writing a -1 in the ``h_revision``
+field; it does not involve OS-specific thread locks::
+
+    def AcquireLocks(cur_time):
+        new_revision = cur_time + 1     # make an odd number
+        for (R, L) in global_to_local:
+            L->h_revision = new_revision
+            L->h_global = True
+            L->h_written = False
+            assert L->h_possibly_outdated == False
+            v = R->h_revision
+            if not (v & 1):         # "is a pointer", i.e.
+                AbortTransaction()  #   "has a more recent revision"
+            if v == -1:
+                AbortTransaction()  # already locked by someone else
+            if not CMPXCHG(&R->h_revision, v, -1):
+                AbortTransaction()  # just changed by someone else
+            locks_to_cancel.add(R, v)
+
+We use CMPXCHG to store the lock.  This is required, because we must
+not conflict with another CPU that would try to write the same lock
+in the same field --- in that case, only one CPU can succeed.
+
+The lock's value is more precisely the *unsigned* equivalent of -1, i.e.
+the largest integer.  It is also an odd number.  As we can check, this
+is enough to cause ``LatestGlobalRevision`` to spin loop, calling
+``Validate`` over and over again, until the lock is released (i.e.
+another value is written in ``h_revision``).
+
+``AcquireLocksAgain`` is called instead of ``AcquireLocks`` if the first
+CMPXCHG fails in ``CommitTransaction``.  It just needs to update the
+previously-local object's ``h_revision``, keeping the already-acquired
+locks::
+
+    def AcquireLocksAgain(cur_time):
+        new_revision = cur_time + 1
+        for (R, L) in global_to_local:
+            L->h_revision = new_revision
+
+
+In case ``AbortTransaction`` is called, it must release the locks.  This
+is done by writing back the original timestamps in the ``h_revision``
+fields::
+
+    def AbortTransaction():
+        for R, v in locks_to_cancel:
+            R->h_revision = v
+        # call longjmp(), which is the function from C
+        # going back to the transaction start
+        longjmp()
+
+
+Finally, in case of a successful commit, ``UpdateChainHeads`` also
+releases the locks --- but it does so by writing in ``h_revision`` a
+pointer to the previously-local object, thus increasing the length of
+the chained list by one::
+
+    def UpdateChainHeads():
+        for (R, L) in global_to_local:
+            R->h_version = L

+Local garbage collection
+------------------------------------
+
+Before we can commit, we need the system to perform a "local garbage
+collection" step.  The problem is that recent objects (obtained with
+``Allocate`` during the transaction) must originally have the
+``h_global`` flag set to False, but this must be changed to True before
+the commit is complete.  While we could make a chained list of all such
+objects and change all their ``h_global`` flags now, such an operation
+is wasteful: at least in PyPy, the vast majority of such objects are
+already garbage.
+
+Instead, we describe here the garbage collection mechanism used in PyPy
+(with its STM-specific tweaks).  All newly allocated objects during a
+transaction are obtained from a thread-specific "nursery".  The nursery
+is empty when the transaction starts.  If the nursery fills up during
+the execution of the transaction, a "minor collection" cycle moves the
+surviving objects outside.  All these objects, both from the nursery and
+those moved outside, have the ``h_global`` flag set to False.
+
+At the end of the transaction, we perform a "local collection" cycle.
+The main goal is to make surviving objects non-movable --- they cannot
+live in any thread-local nursery as soon as they are visible from other
+threads.  If they did, we could no longer clear the content of the
+nursery when it fills up later.
+
+The secondary goal of the local collection is to change the header flags
+of all surviving objects: their ``h_global`` is set to True.  As an
+optimization, during this step, all pointers that reference a *local but
+not written to* object are changed to point directly to the original
+global object.
+
+Actual committing occurs after the local collection cycle is complete,
+when *all* reachable objects are ``h_global``.

+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    This is a simple interface to the LAPACK routines dgeev and zgeev
+    which compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of, respectively,
+    general real- and complex-valued square arrays.
+
+    The number `w` is an eigenvalue of `a` if there exists a vector
+    `v` such that ``dot(a,v) = w * v``. Thus, the arrays `a`, `w`, and
+    `v` satisfy the equations ``dot(a[i,:], v[i]) = w[i] * v[:,i]``
+    for :math:`i \\in \\{0,...,M-1\\}`.
+
+    The array `v` of eigenvectors may not be of maximum rank, that is, some
+    of the columns may be linearly dependent, although round-off error may
+    obscure that fact. If the eigenvalues are all different, then theoretically
+    the eigenvectors are linearly independent. Likewise, the (complex-valued)
+    matrix of eigenvectors `v` is unitary if the matrix `a` is normal, i.e.,
+    if ``dot(a, a.H) = dot(a.H, a)``, where `a.H` denotes the conjugate
+    transpose of `a`.
+
+    Finally, it is emphasized that `v` consists of the *right* (as in
+    right-hand side) eigenvectors of `a`.  A vector `y` satisfying
+    ``dot(y.T, a) = z * y.T`` for some number `z` is called a *left*
+    eigenvector of `a`, and, in general, the left and right eigenvectors
+    of a matrix are not necessarily the (perhaps conjugate) transposes
+    of each other.

+       ``eps`` is the epsilon value for datatype of ``S``, then `tol` is
+       set to ``S.max() * max(M.shape) * eps``.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    The default threshold to detect rank deficiency is a test on the magnitude
+    of the singular values of `M`.  By default, we identify singular values less
+    than ``S.max() * max(M.shape) * eps`` as indicating rank deficiency (with
+    the symbols defined above). This is the algorithm MATLAB uses [1].  It also
+    appears in *Numerical recipes* in the discussion of SVD solutions for linear
+    least squares [2].
+
+    This default threshold is designed to detect rank deficiency accounting for
+    the numerical errors of the SVD computation.  Imagine that there is a column
+    in `M` that is an exact (in floating point) linear combination of other
+    columns in `M`. Computing the SVD on `M` will not produce a singular value
+    exactly equal to 0 in general: any difference of the smallest SVD value from
+    0 will be caused by numerical imprecision in the calculation of the SVD.
+    Our threshold for small SVD values takes this numerical imprecision into
+    account, and the default threshold will detect such numerical rank
+    deficiency.  The threshold may declare a matrix `M` rank deficient even if
+    the linear combination of some columns of `M` is not exactly equal to
+    another column of `M` but only numerically very close to another column of
+    `M`.
+
+    We chose our default threshold because it is in wide use.  Other thresholds
+    are possible.  For example, elsewhere in the 2007 edition of *Numerical
+    recipes* there is an alternative threshold of ``S.max() *
+    np.finfo(M.dtype).eps / 2. * np.sqrt(m + n + 1.)``. The authors describe
+    this threshold as being based on "expected roundoff error" (p 71).
+
+    The thresholds above deal with floating point roundoff error in the
+    calculation of the SVD.  However, you may have more information about the
+    sources of error in `M` that would make you consider other tolerance values
+    to detect *effective* rank deficiency.  The most useful measure of the
+    tolerance depends on the operations you intend to use on your matrix.  For
+    example, if your data come from uncertain measurements with uncertainties
+    greater than floating point epsilon, choosing a tolerance near that
+    uncertainty may be preferable.  The tolerance may be absolute if the
+    uncertainties are absolute rather than relative.

+    Matrix or vector norm.
+
+    This function is able to return one of seven different matrix norms,
+    or one of an infinite number of vector norms (described below), depending
+    on the value of the ``ord`` parameter.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    x : {(M,), (M, N)} array_like
+        Input array.
+    ord : {non-zero int, inf, -inf, 'fro'}, optional
+        Order of the norm (see table under ``Notes``). inf means numpy's
+        `inf` object.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    n : float
+        Norm of the matrix or vector.
+
+    Notes
+    -----
+    For values of ``ord <= 0``, the result is, strictly speaking, not a
+    mathematical 'norm', but it may still be useful for various numerical
+    purposes.
+
+    The following norms can be calculated:
+
+    =====  ============================  ==========================
+    ord    norm for matrices             norm for vectors
+    =====  ============================  ==========================
+    None   Frobenius norm                2-norm
+    'fro'  Frobenius norm                --
+    inf    max(sum(abs(x), axis=1))      max(abs(x))
+    -inf   min(sum(abs(x), axis=1))      min(abs(x))
+    0      --                            sum(x != 0)
+    1      max(sum(abs(x), axis=0))      as below
+    -1     min(sum(abs(x), axis=0))      as below
+    2      2-norm (largest sing. value)  as below
+    -2     smallest singular value       as below
+    other  --                            sum(abs(x)**ord)**(1./ord)
+    =====  ============================  ==========================
+

Log:	Move sign extension from emit_call to _emit_call with result_info
	argument. All callers updated. Remove we_are_translated() hack from
	getfield_gc, getinteriorfield_gc, getarrayitem_gc and properly sign
	extend results.

+PyPy Cape Town Sprint Oct 7th - Oct 21st 2012
+=============================================
+
+The next PyPy sprint will be in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a public sprint, 
+suitable for newcomers. The sprint is hosted after the end of
+`PyCon South Africa`_, which happens on 4th and 5th of October.
+This is a relatively unusual sprint that is hosted
+halfway across the world from where most contributors live, hence we plan
+to spend some time during those 2 weeks doing sprinting and some time doing
+touristy stuff. The goals for the sprint are general progress and whatever
+people are interested in.
+
+.. _`PyCon South Africa`: http://za.pycon.org
+
+Possible topics:
+
+XXX
+
+Location
+--------
+
+The sprint will be either held in the apartment of fijal, which is in
+Tamboerskloof, Cape Town or in the office of Praekelt Foundation, located
+in Woodstock, Cape Town.
+
+Cape Town, as a very touristy place, has tons of accomodation going from
+good to amazing. Depending on the sprint location you might need a car.
+
+
+Good to Know
+------------
+
+XXXX rewrite
+
+Sweden is not part of the Euro zone. One SEK (krona in singular, kronor
+in plural) is roughly 1/10th of a Euro (9.36 SEK to 1 Euro).
+
+The venue is central in Gothenburg.  There is a large selection of
+places to get food nearby, from edible-and-cheap to outstanding.  We
+often cook meals together, so let us know if you have any food allergies,
+dislikes, or special requirements.
+
+Sweden uses the same kind of plugs as Germany. 230V AC.
+
+Who's Coming?
+--------------
+
+If you'd like to come, please let us know when you will be arriving and 
+leaving, as well as letting us know your interests  We'll keep a list
+of `people`_ which we'll update (which you can do so yourself if you
+have bitbucket pypy commit rights).

-XXXX rewrite
+You very likely don't need visa for South Africa, consult the wikipedia.
+South Africa is a lovely place with lots of stuff to visit. You can come
+and see penguins, elephants, lions and sharks all in one (or more) day.
 
-Sweden is not part of the Euro zone. One SEK (krona in singular, kronor
-in plural) is roughly 1/10th of a Euro (9.36 SEK to 1 Euro).
+There is a wide selection of good restaurants within a reasonable distance

-""" Distributed controller(s) for use with transparent proxy objects
-
-First idea:
-
-1. We use py.execnet to create a connection to wherever
-2. We run some code there (RSync in advance makes some sense)
-3. We access remote objects like normal ones, with a special protocol
-
-Local side:
-  - Request an object from remote side from global namespace as simple
-    --- request(name) --->
-  - Receive an object which is in protocol described below which is
-    constructed as shallow copy of the remote type.
-
-    Shallow copy is defined as follows:
-
-    - for interp-level object that we know we can provide transparent proxy
-      we just do that
-
-    - for others we fake or fail depending on object
-
-    - for user objects, we create a class which fakes all attributes of
-      a class as transparent proxies of remote objects, we create an instance
-      of that class and populate __dict__
-
-    - for immutable types, we just copy that
-
-Remote side:
-  - we run code, whatever we like
-  - additionally, we've got thread exporting stuff (or just exporting
-    globals, whatever)
-  - for every object, we just send an object, or provide a protocol for
-    sending it in a different way.

+``Rarely`` uses a thread-local counter to return True only rarely.  We
+do the above update only rarely, rather than always, although it would
+naively seem that doing the update always is a good idea.  The problem
+is that it generates a lot of write traffic to global data that is
+potentially shared between CPUs.  We will need more measurements, but it
+seems that doing it too often causes CPUs to stall.  It is probable that
+updates done by one CPU are sent to other CPUs at high cost, even though
+these updates are not so important in this particular case (i.e. the
+program would work fine if the other CPUs didn't see such updates at all
+and instead repeated the same update logic locally).

+PyPy Cape Town Sprint Oct 7th - Oct 21st 2012
+=============================================
+
+The next PyPy sprint will be in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a public sprint, 
+suitable for newcomers. The sprint is hosted after the end of
+`PyCon South Africa`_, which happens on 4th and 5th of October.
+This is a relatively unusual sprint that is hosted
+halfway across the world from where most contributors live, hence we plan
+to spend some time during those 2 weeks doing sprinting and some time doing
+touristy stuff. The goals for the sprint are general progress and whatever
+people are interested in.
+
+.. _`PyCon South Africa`: http://za.pycon.org
+
+Possible topics:
+
+XXX
+
+Location
+--------
+
+The sprint will be either held in the apartment of fijal, which is in
+Tamboerskloof, Cape Town or in the office of Praekelt Foundation, located
+in Woodstock, Cape Town.
+
+Cape Town, as a very touristy place, has tons of accomodation going from
+good to amazing. Depending on the sprint location you might need a car.
+
+
+Good to Know
+------------
+
+You very likely don't need visa for South Africa, consult the wikipedia.
+South Africa is a lovely place with lots of stuff to visit. You can come
+and see penguins, elephants, lions and sharks all in one (or more) day.
+
+There is a wide selection of good restaurants within a reasonable distance
+from the sprint venue (depending on the venue, either walking or driving).
+
+The power plug is some weird old-english standard, but adapters are easy
+to acquire in every shop.
+
+Who's Coming?
+--------------
+
+If you'd like to come, please let us know when you will be arriving and 
+leaving, as well as letting us know your interests  We'll keep a list
+of `people`_ which we'll update (which you can do so yourself if you
+have bitbucket pypy commit rights).

+Inevitable transactions
+------------------------------------
+
+A transaction is "inevitable" when it cannot abort any more.  It occurs
+typically when the transaction tries to do I/O or a similar effect that
+we cannot roll back.  Such effects are O.K., but they mean that we have
+to guarantee the transaction's eventual successful commit.
+
+The main restriction is that there can be only one inevitable
+transaction at a time.  Right now the model doesn't allow any other
+transaction to start or commit when there is an inevitable transaction;
+this restriction could be lifted with additional work.
+
+For now, the hint that the system has currently got an inevitable
+transaction is given by the value stored in ``global_cur_time``:
+the largest positive number (equal to the ``INEVITABLE`` constant).
+
+``BecomeInevitable`` is called from the middle of a transaction to
+(attempt to) make the current transaction inevitable::
+

+        cur_time = global_cur_time

-""" Distributed controller(s) for use with transparent proxy objects
-
-First idea:
-
-1. We use py.execnet to create a connection to wherever
-2. We run some code there (RSync in advance makes some sense)
-3. We access remote objects like normal ones, with a special protocol
-
-Local side:
-  - Request an object from remote side from global namespace as simple
-    --- request(name) --->
-  - Receive an object which is in protocol described below which is
-    constructed as shallow copy of the remote type.
-
-    Shallow copy is defined as follows:
-
-    - for interp-level object that we know we can provide transparent proxy
-      we just do that
-
-    - for others we fake or fail depending on object
-
-    - for user objects, we create a class which fakes all attributes of
-      a class as transparent proxies of remote objects, we create an instance
-      of that class and populate __dict__
-
-    - for immutable types, we just copy that
-
-Remote side:
-  - we run code, whatever we like
-  - additionally, we've got thread exporting stuff (or just exporting
-    globals, whatever)
-  - for every object, we just send an object, or provide a protocol for
-    sending it in a different way.

 the mingw compiler when hacking (as opposed to translating). As of

+
+Adding a test here involves:
+1. add a test to cffi/c/test.py
+   - if you need a C function to call, add it into _cffi_backend.c
+     as a testfuncNN().
+2. have it pass when you run 'py.test test_c.py' in cffi
+3. check in and (if you can) push the changes
+4. copy test_c.py into _backend_test.py here, killing the few lines of header
+   - if you added a C function, it goes into _test_lib.c here
+   - if you could complete step 3, try running 'py.test test_file.py' here

-""" This is a mini-tutorial on iterators, strides, and
-memory layout. It assumes you are familiar with the terms, see
-http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.ndarray.html
-for a more gentle introduction.
-
-Given an array x: x.shape == [5,6],
-
-At which byte in x.data does the item x[3,4] begin?
-if x.strides==[1,5]:
-    pData = x.pData + (x.start + 3*1 + 4*5)*sizeof(x.pData[0])
-    pData = x.pData + (x.start + 24) * sizeof(x.pData[0])
-so the offset of the element is 24 elements after the first
-
-What is the next element in x after coordinates [3,4]?
-if x.order =='C':
-   next == [3,5] => offset is 28
-if x.order =='F':
-   next == [4,4] => offset is 24
-so for the strides [1,5] x is 'F' contiguous
-likewise, for the strides [6,1] x would be 'C' contiguous.
-
-Iterators have an internal representation of the current coordinates
-(indices), the array, strides, and backstrides. A short digression to
-explain backstrides: what is the coordinate and offset after [3,5] in
-the example above?
-if x.order == 'C':
-   next == [4,0] => offset is 4
-if x.order == 'F':
-   next == [4,5] => offset is 25
-Note that in 'C' order we stepped BACKWARDS 24 while 'overflowing' a
-shape dimension
-  which is back 25 and forward 1,
-  which is x.strides[1] * (x.shape[1] - 1) + x.strides[0]
-so if we precalculate the overflow backstride as 
-[x.strides[i] * (x.shape[i] - 1) for i in range(len(x.shape))]
-we can go faster.
-All the calculations happen in next()
-
-next_skip_x() tries to do the iteration for a number of steps at once,
-but then we cannot gaurentee that we only overflow one single shape 
-dimension, perhaps we could overflow times in one big step.

+""" This is a mini-tutorial on iterators, strides, and
+memory layout. It assumes you are familiar with the terms, see
+http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.ndarray.html
+for a more gentle introduction.
+
+Given an array x: x.shape == [5,6],
+
+At which byte in x.data does the item x[3,4] begin?
+if x.strides==[1,5]:
+    pData = x.pData + (x.start + 3*1 + 4*5)*sizeof(x.pData[0])
+    pData = x.pData + (x.start + 24) * sizeof(x.pData[0])
+so the offset of the element is 24 elements after the first
+
+What is the next element in x after coordinates [3,4]?
+if x.order =='C':
+   next == [3,5] => offset is 28
+if x.order =='F':
+   next == [4,4] => offset is 24
+so for the strides [1,5] x is 'F' contiguous
+likewise, for the strides [6,1] x would be 'C' contiguous.
+
+Iterators have an internal representation of the current coordinates
+(indices), the array, strides, and backstrides. A short digression to
+explain backstrides: what is the coordinate and offset after [3,5] in
+the example above?
+if x.order == 'C':
+   next == [4,0] => offset is 4
+if x.order == 'F':
+   next == [4,5] => offset is 25
+Note that in 'C' order we stepped BACKWARDS 24 while 'overflowing' a
+shape dimension
+  which is back 25 and forward 1,
+  which is x.strides[1] * (x.shape[1] - 1) + x.strides[0]
+so if we precalculate the overflow backstride as 
+[x.strides[i] * (x.shape[i] - 1) for i in range(len(x.shape))]
+we can go faster.
+All the calculations happen in next()
+
+next_skip_x() tries to do the iteration for a number of steps at once,
+but then we cannot gaurentee that we only overflow one single shape 
+dimension, perhaps we could overflow times in one big step.

+The above read/write barriers are just the most common cases.  A pointer
+to an object in the category ``R`` might actually point to one that is
+in the more precise category ``L`` or ``W``, following the implication
+relationships: ``W => L => R => O => P`` and ``G => P``.  Barriers are
+used to bring an object's category in the opposite direction.  Here are
+all the interesting conversions, with the five functions above (DRB,
+RRB, LRR, WrB, WFR) as well as seven more potential conversions (``*``)
+that could be implemented more efficiently with slight variations:

+This file is OBSCURE.  Really.  The purpose is to avoid copying and changing
+'test_c.py' from cffi/c/ in the original CFFI repository:
+    https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi
+
+Adding a test here involves:
+1. add a test to cffi/c/test.py
+   - if you need a C function to call, add it into _cffi_backend.c
+     as a testfuncNN().
+2. have it pass when you run 'py.test test_c.py' in cffi
+3. check in and (if you can) push the changes
+4. copy test_c.py into _backend_test.py here, killing the few lines of header
+   - if you added a C function, it goes into _test_lib.c here
+   - if you could complete step 3, try running 'py.test test_file.py' here
+5. make the test pass in pypy ('py.test test_c.py')

+This file is OBSCURE.  Really.  The purpose is to avoid copying and changing
+'test_c.py' from cffi/c/ in the original CFFI repository:
+    https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi
+
+Adding a test here involves:
+1. add a test to cffi/c/test.py
+   - if you need a C function to call, add it into _cffi_backend.c
+     as a testfuncNN().
+2. have it pass when you run 'py.test test_c.py' in cffi
+3. check in and (if you can) push the changes
+4. copy test_c.py into _backend_test.py here, killing the few lines of header
+   - if you added a C function, it goes into _test_lib.c here
+   - if you could complete step 3, try running 'py.test test_file.py' here
+5. make the test pass in pypy ('py.test test_c.py')

Log:	Remove option FlowObjSpace.do_imports_immediately

	All traces of the option have been removed, imports are now always
	performed immediately by the flow space.

	NB: setting the option to False didn't seem to be actually
	supported.

Log:	Use Constants instead of pypy.interpreter Modules.

	sys and __builtin__ can simply be represented by Constants in flow
	space. There is no need to use the complex Module class from the
	PyPy interpreter.
