Description
Reported here: https://www.phoronix.com/review/gcc-16-vs-clang-22/2
Running the OCUDU benchmarks on a Threadripper 9980X (-march=znver5) is almost 50% faster when built with gcc16 vs clang22: https://openbenchmarking.org/innhold/92454b6c98c3ad8beb08a5084a278386c6b06a46
This might be a good first issue for somebody with access to both compilers and an interest in codegen profiling:
1 - build and run the benchmarks on gcc16 and clang22 - preferably on a avx512 machine, but I suspect older machines will show a perf difference as well.
2 - profile to identify any hot code sections on either build and compare the builds and code quality (e.g. missing compiler flags/attributes? vectorisation width? performant use of particular vector instructions? use of slow gather/scatter instructions?)
3 - identify any missing llvm optimisations and raise suitable issue(s)
