From 00cc9be854659f4e844d4572325d371ab05aa0bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ehsan Behrangi Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 12:22:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] 8381560: AArch64: Optimize String.equals intrinsic MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This change improves the AArch64 implementation of String.equals by introducing SIMD-based fast paths using SVE and NEON. SVE implementation: - Uses predicated loads and comparisons for short lengths (len < VL) - Uses a full predicated loop for longer inputs - Handles the tail via an overlapped compare at (base + len - VL) NEON implementation: - Uses an 8-byte pre-read to simplify tail handling and eliminate 4/2/1-byte scalar branches - Processes 16-byte chunks using LDP pair loads - Uses CMP/CCMP to collapse comparisons into a single branch on mismatch These changes reduce branch pressure and improve throughput for both short and long strings. Correctness: - The implementation preserves existing semantics and matches behavior for all lengths Testing: - Updated and extended intrinsic tests to cover boundary conditions and mismatch positions Benchmark: Across evaluated macrobenchmarks (DaCapo and Renaissance), most workloads spend <0.5% of CPU time in String.equals. DaCapo biojava is a notable exception (~8–9%). In biojava, most String.equals calls are on very short strings (1–2 bytes), where SVE shows ~1% end-to-end improvement, while NEON is largely neutral or shows a small regression (~1%). Measured using JMH on AArch64 (Arm Neoverse V2 CPU). Values are relative (%) vs baseline. Negative values indicate regressions. Mismatch results are reported across first(DF), middle(DM), and last(DL) difference positions.
