[Qemu-arm] [PATCH v3 1/1] target-arm: Use Neon for zero checking


From: vijayak
Subject: [Qemu-arm] [PATCH v3 1/1] target-arm: Use Neon for zero checking
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 14:17:09 +0530

From: Vijay <address@hidden>

Use Neon instructions to perform zero checking of
buffer. This is helps in reducing total migration time.

Use case: Idle VM live migration with 4 VCPUS and 8GB ram
running CentOS 7.

Without Neon, the Total migration time is 3.5 Sec

Migration status: completed
total time: 3560 milliseconds
downtime: 33 milliseconds
setup: 5 milliseconds
transferred ram: 297907 kbytes
throughput: 685.76 mbps
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 8519872 kbytes
duplicate: 2062760 pages
skipped: 0 pages
normal: 69808 pages
normal bytes: 279232 kbytes
dirty sync count: 3

With Neon, the total migration time is 2.9 Sec

Migration status: completed
total time: 2960 milliseconds
downtime: 65 milliseconds
setup: 4 milliseconds
transferred ram: 299869 kbytes
throughput: 830.19 mbps
remaining ram: 0 kbytes
total ram: 8519872 kbytes
duplicate: 2064313 pages
skipped: 0 pages
normal: 70294 pages
normal bytes: 281176 kbytes
dirty sync count: 3
