8381560: AArch64: Optimize String.equals intrinsic
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.
SVE results:

Observations:
- SVE shows consistent improvements across all tested lengths, with gains
increasing as input size grows
- NEON improves equal-string performance across all lengths
- NEON shows regressions for short mismatched inputs due to the loss
of the scalar tbz-based early-exit sequence, which efficiently
detects mismatches at small sizes and at early positions
- The scalar implementation relies on a branchy 4/2/1 tbz ladder,
which is efficient for early mismatches but suboptimal for equal
strings
- The NEON implementation replaces this with a branchless SIMD
approach and performs upfront comparisons of the first and last
8 bytes, improving throughput and late-mismatch detection
