# This script is used to calculate two basic properties of the branch prediction
# heuristics - coverage and hitrate.  Coverage is number of executions of a given
# branch matched by the heuristics and hitrate is probability that once branch is
# predicted as taken it is really taken.
#
# These values are useful to determine the quality of given heuristics.  Hitrate
# may be directly used in predict.c.
#
# Usage:
#  Step 1: Compile and profile your program.  You need to use -fprofile-arcs
#    flag to get the profiles
#  Step 2: Generate log files.  The information about given heuristics are
#    saved into *.bp dumps.  You need to pass the -db switch to the compiler as well
#    as -fbranch-probabilities to get the results of profiling noted in the dumps.
#    Ensure that there are no "Arc profiling: some edge counts were bad." warnings.
#  Step 3: Run this script to concatenate all *.life files:
#    analyze_brprob `find . -name *.life`
#    the information is collected and print once all files are parsed.  This
#    may take a while.
#    Note that the script does use bc to perform long arithmetic.
#  Step 4: Read the results.  Basically the following table is printed:
#  (this is just an example from a very early stage of branch prediction pass
#   development, so please don't take these numbers seriously)

#
#  The heuristic called "first match" is a heuristic used by GCC branch
#  prediction pass and it predicts 89.92% branches correctly.
#
#  The quality of heuristics can be rated using both, coverage and hitrate
#  parameters.  For example "loop branch" heuristics (predicting loopback edge
#  as taken) have both very high hitrate and coverage, so it is very useful.
#  On the other hand, "exit block" heuristics (predicting exit edges as not
#  taken) have good hitrate, but poor coverage, so only 3 branches have been
#  predicted.  The "loop header" heuristic has problems, since it tends to
#  misspredict.
#
#  The implementation of this script is somewhat brute force.  My awk skills
#  are limited.
