C++ performance challenge: integer to std::string

2019-01-01 08:33发布

问题:

Can anyone beat the performance of my integer to std::string code, linked below?

There are already several questions that explain how to convert an integer into a std::string in C++, such as this one, but none of the solutions provided are efficient.

Here is compile-ready code for some common methods to compete against:

  • The \"C++ way\", using stringstream: http://ideone.com/jh3Sa
  • sprintf, which SO-ers usually recommend to the performance conscious: http://ideone.com/82kwR

Contrary to popular belief, boost::lexical_cast has its own implementation (white paper) and does not use stringstream and numeric insertion operators. I\'d really like to see its performance compared, because this other question suggests that it\'s miserable.

And my own contribution, which is competitive on desktop computers, and demonstrates an approach that runs at full speed on embedded systems as well, unlike algorithms dependent on integer modulo:

  • Ben\'s algorithms: http://ideone.com/SsEUW

If you want to use that code, I\'ll make it available under a simplified BSD license (commercial use allowed, attribution required). Just ask.

Finally, the function ltoa is non-standard but widely available.

  • ltoa version, for anyone who has a compiler that provides it (ideone doesn\'t): http://ideone.com/T5Wim

I\'ll post my performance measurements as an answer shortly.

Rules for algorithms

  • Provide code for a conversion of at least 32-bit signed and unsigned integers into decimal.
  • Produce output as a std::string.
  • No tricks that are incompatible with threading and signals (for example, static buffers).
  • You may assume an ASCII character set.
  • Make sure to test your code on INT_MIN on a two\'s complement machine where the absolute value is not representable.
  • Ideally, the output should be character-for-character identical with the canonical C++ version using stringstream, http://ideone.com/jh3Sa, but anything that is clearly understandable as the correct number is ok, too.
  • NEW: Although you can use whatever compiler and optimizer options (except completely disabled) you want for the comparison, the code needs to also compile and give correct results under at least VC++ 2010 and g++.

Hoped-for Discussion

Besides better algorithms, I\'d also like to get some benchmarks on several different platforms and compilers (let\'s use MB/s throughput as our standard unit of measure). I believe that the code for my algorithm (I know the sprintf benchmark takes some shortcuts -- now fixed) is well-defined behavior by the standard, at least under the ASCII assumption, but if you see any undefined behavior or inputs for which the output is invalid, please point that out.

Conclusions:

Different algorithms perform for g++ and VC2010, likely due to the different implementations of std::string on each. VC2010 clearly does a better job with NRVO, getting rid of return-by-value helped only on gcc.

Code was found that outperforms sprintf by an order of magnitude. ostringstream falls behind by a factor of 50 and more.

The winner of the challenge is user434507 who produces code that runs 350% of the speed of my own on gcc. Further entries are closed due to the whims of the SO community.

The current (final?) speed champions are:

  • For gcc: user434507, at 8 times faster than sprintf: http://ideone.com/0uhhX
  • For Visual C++: Timo, at 15 times faster than sprintf: http://ideone.com/VpKO3

This will blow up on systems that disallow unaligned memory accesses (in which case, the first unaligned assignment via *(short*) would cause a segfault), but should work very nicely otherwise.

One important thing to do is to minimize the use of std::string. (Ironic, I know.) In Visual Studio, for example, most calls to methods of std::string are not inlined, even if you specify /Ob2 in compiler options. So even something as trivial as a call to std::string::clear(), which you might expect to be very fast, can take 100 clockticks when linking CRT as a static library, and as much as 300 clockticks when linking as a DLL.

For the same reason, returning by reference is better because it avoids an assignment, a constructor and a destructor.



回答2:

Ah, awesome challenge by the way... I\'ve had a lot of fun with this.

I have two algorithms to submit (code is at the bottom if you feel like skipping to it). In my comparisons I require that the function return a string and that it can handle int and unsigned int. Comparing things that don\'t construct a string to those that do doesn\'t really make sense.

The first one is a fun implementation that doesn\'t use any precomputed lookup tables or explicit division/modulo. This one is competitive with the others with gcc and with all but Timo\'s on msvc (for a good reason that I explain below). The second algorithm is my actual submission for highest performance. In my tests it beats all the others on both gcc and msvc.

I think I know why some of the results on MSVC are very good. std::string has two relevant constructors std::string(char* str, size_t n)
and
std::string(ForwardIterator b, ForwardIterator e)
gcc does the same thing for both of them... that is it uses the second to implement the first. The first constructor can be implemented significantly more efficiently than that and MSVC does so. The side benefit of this is that in some cases (like my fast code and Timo\'s code) the string constructor can be inlined. In fact, just switching between these constructors in MSVC is almost a 2x difference for my code.

My performance testing results:

Here are some results and a testing/timing framework on ideone
http://ideone.com/XZRqp
Note that ideone is a 32-bit environment. Both of my algorithms suffer from that, but hopman_fast is at least still competetive.

Note that for those the two or so that don\'t construct a string I added the following function template:

template <typename T>
std::string itostr(T t) {
    std::string ret;
    itostr(t, ret);
    return ret;
}

Now for my code...first the fun one:

    // hopman_fun

template <typename T> 
T reduce2(T v) {
    T k = ((v * 410) >> 12) & 0x000F000F000F000Full;
    return (((v - k * 10) << 8) + k);
}

template <typename T>
T reduce4(T v) {
    T k = ((v * 10486) >> 20) & 0xFF000000FFull;
    return reduce2(((v - k * 100) << 16) + (k));
}

typedef unsigned long long ull;
inline ull reduce8(ull v) {
    ull k = ((v * 3518437209u) >> 45);
    return reduce4(((v - k * 10000) << 32) + (k));
}

template <typename T>
std::string itostr(T o) {
    union {
        char str[16];
        unsigned short u2[8];
        unsigned u4[4];
        unsigned long long u8[2];
    };

    unsigned v = o < 0 ? ~o + 1 : o;

    u8[0] = (ull(v) * 3518437209u) >> 45;
    u8[0] = (u8[0] * 28147497672ull);
    u8[1] = v - u2[3] * 100000000;

    u8[1] = reduce8(u8[1]);
    char* f;
    if (u2[3]) {
        u2[3] = reduce2(u2[3]);
        f = str + 6;
    } else {
        unsigned short* k = u4[2] ? u2 + 4 : u2 + 6;
        f = *k ? (char*)k : (char*)(k + 1);
    }
    if (!*f) f++;

    u4[1] |= 0x30303030;
    u4[2] |= 0x30303030;
    u4[3] |= 0x30303030;
    if (o < 0) *--f = \'-\';
    return std::string(f, (str + 16) - f);
}

And then the fast one:

    // hopman_fast

struct itostr_helper {
    static unsigned out[10000];

    itostr_helper() {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
            unsigned v = i;
            char * o = (char*)(out + i);
            o[3] = v % 10 + \'0\';
            o[2] = (v % 100) / 10 + \'0\';
            o[1] = (v % 1000) / 100 + \'0\';
            o[0] = (v % 10000) / 1000;
            if (o[0]) o[0] |= 0x30;
            else if (o[1] != \'0\') o[0] |= 0x20;
            else if (o[2] != \'0\') o[0] |= 0x10;
            else o[0] |= 0x00;
        }
    }
};
unsigned itostr_helper::out[10000];

itostr_helper hlp_init;

template <typename T>
std::string itostr(T o) {
    typedef itostr_helper hlp;

    unsigned blocks[3], *b = blocks + 2;
    blocks[0] = o < 0 ? ~o + 1 : o;
    blocks[2] = blocks[0] % 10000; blocks[0] /= 10000;
    blocks[2] = hlp::out[blocks[2]];

    if (blocks[0]) {
        blocks[1] = blocks[0] % 10000; blocks[0] /= 10000;
        blocks[1] = hlp::out[blocks[1]];
        blocks[2] |= 0x30303030;
        b--;
    }

    if (blocks[0]) {
        blocks[0] = hlp::out[blocks[0] % 10000];
        blocks[1] |= 0x30303030;
        b--;
    }

    char* f = ((char*)b);
    f += 3 - (*f >> 4);

    char* str = (char*)blocks;
    if (o < 0) *--f = \'-\';
    return std::string(f, (str + 12) - f);
}

回答4:

While the info we get here for the algorithms is pretty nice, I think the question is \"broken\", and I\'ll explain why I think this:

The question asks to take the performance of int->std::string conversion, and this may be of interest when comparing a commonly available method, such as different stringstream implementations or boost::lexical_cast. It does not, however, make sense when asking for new code, a specialized algorithm, to do this. The reason is that int2string will always involve heap allocation from std::string and if we are trying to squeeze the last out of our conversion algorithm, I do not think it makes sense to mix these measurements up with the heap allocations done by std::string. If I want performant conversion I will always use a fixed size buffer and certainly never allocate anything on the heap!

To sum up, I think the timings should be split:

  • First, fastest (int -> fixed buffer) conversion.
  • Second, timing of (fixed buffer -> std::string) copy.
  • Third, checking how the std::string allocation can directly be used as buffer, to save the copying.

These aspects should not be mixed up in one timing, IMHO.

I can\'t test under VS, but this seems to be faster than your code for g++, about 10%. It could probably be tuned, the decision values chosen are guesses. int only, sorry.

typedef unsigned buf_t; 

static buf_t * reduce(unsigned val, buf_t * stp) {
   unsigned above = val / 10000; 
   if (above != 0) {
      stp = reduce(above, stp); 
      val -= above * 10000; 
   }

   buf_t digit  = val / 1000; 
   *stp++ = digit + \'0\'; 
   val -= digit * 1000; 

   digit  = val / 100; 
   *stp++ = digit + \'0\'; 
   val -= digit * 100; 

   digit  = val / 10; 
   *stp++ = digit + \'0\'; 
   val -= digit * 10; 
   *stp++ = val + \'0\'; 
   return stp; 
}

std::string itostr(int input) {

   buf_t buf[16]; 


   if(input == INT_MIN) {  
      char buf2[16]; 
      std::sprintf(buf2, \"%d\", input); 
      return std::string(buf2); 
   }

   // handle negative
   unsigned val = input;
   if(input < 0) 
      val = -input;

   buf[0] = \'0\'; 
   buf_t* endp = reduce(val, buf+1); 
   *endp = 127; 

   buf_t * stp = buf+1; 
   while (*stp == \'0\') 
      stp++;
   if (stp == endp)
      stp--; 

   if (input < 0) { 
      stp--; 
      *stp = \'-\'; 
   }
   return std::string(stp, endp); 
}

回答7:

I\'ve had this sitting around for awhile and finally got around to posting it.

A few more methods compared to the double-word at a time hopman_fast. The results are for the GCC\'s short-string-optimized std::string as otherwise performance differences get obscured by the overhead of the copy-on-write string management code. Throughput is measured the same way as elsewhere in this topic, cycle counts are for the raw serialization parts of the code prior to copying the output buffer into a string.

HOPMAN_FAST - performance reference  
TM_CPP, TM_VEC - scalar and vector versions of Terje Mathisen algorithm  
WM_VEC - intrinsics implementation of Wojciech Mula\'s vector algorithm  
AK_BW - word-at-a-time routine with a jump table that fills a buffer in reverse  
AK_FW - forward-stepping word-at-a-time routine with a jump table in assembly  
AK_UNROLLED - generic word-at-a-time routine that uses an unrolled loop  

\"Throughput\"

\"Raw

Compile-time switches:

-DVSTRING - enables SSO strings for older GCC setups
-DBSR1 - enables fast log10
-DRDTSC - enables cycle counters

Here\'s my little attempt of this fun puzzle.

Instead of using lookup tables, I wanted the compiler to figure it all out. In this case in particular - if you read Hackers\' Delight, you see how divide and modulo work -- which makes it very possible to optimize that using SSE/AVX instructions.

Performance benchmark

As for speed, my benchmark here tells me it\'s 1,5 times faster than the work of Timo (on my Intel Haswell it runs on approximately 1 GB/s).

Things you could consider a cheat

As for the not-making-a-std-string cheat that I use -- of course I took that into consideration for my benchmark of Timo\'s method as well.

I do use an intrinsic: BSR. If you like, you can also use DeBruijn tables instead - which is one of the things I wrote quite a bit about on my \'fastest 2log\' post. Of course, this does have a performance penalty (*well... if you\'re doing a lot of itoa operations you can actually make a faster BSR but I guess that\'s not fair...).

The way it works

First thing to do is figure out how much memory we need. This is basically a 10log, which can be implemented in a number of smart ways. See the frequently quoted \"Bit Twiddling Hacks\" for details.

Next thing to do is to execute the numeric output. I use template recursion for this, so the compiler will figure it out.

I use \'modulo\' and \'div\' right next to each other. If you read Hacker\'s Delight, you will notice that the two are closely related, so if you have one answer, you probably have the other as well. I figured the compiler can figure out the details... :-)

The code

Getting the number of digits using a (modified) log10:

struct logarithm
{
    static inline int log2(unsigned int value)
    {
        unsigned long index;
        if (!_BitScanReverse(&index, value))
        {
            return 0;
        }

        // add 1 if x is NOT a power of 2 (to do the ceil)
        return index + (value&(value - 1) ? 1 : 0);
    }

    static inline int numberDigits(unsigned int v)
    {
        static unsigned int const PowersOf10[] =
        { 0, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000, 100000000, 1000000000 };

        int t = (logarithm::log2(v) + 1) * 1233 >> 12; // (use a lg2 method from above)
        return 1 + t - (v < PowersOf10[t]);
    }
};

Getting yourself the string:

template <int count>
struct WriteHelper
{
    inline static void WriteChar(char* buf, unsigned int value)
    {
        unsigned int div = value / 10;
        unsigned int rem = value % 10;
        buf[count - 1] = rem + \'0\';

        WriteHelper<count - 1>::WriteChar(buf, div);
    }
};

template <>
struct WriteHelper<1>
{
    inline static void WriteChar(char* buf, unsigned int value) 
    {
        buf[0] = \'0\' + value;
    }
};

// Boring code that converts a length into a switch.
// TODO: Test if recursion with an \'if\' is faster.
static inline void WriteNumber(char* data, int len, unsigned int val) 
{
    switch (len) {
    case 1:
        WriteHelper<1>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 2:
        WriteHelper<2>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 3:
        WriteHelper<3>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 4:
        WriteHelper<4>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 5:
        WriteHelper<5>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 6:
        WriteHelper<6>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 7:
        WriteHelper<7>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 8:
        WriteHelper<8>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 9:
        WriteHelper<9>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    case 10:
        WriteHelper<10>::WriteChar(data, static_cast<unsigned int>(val));
        break;
    }
}

// The main method you want to call...
static int Write(char* data, int val) 
{
    int len;
    if (val >= 0) 
    {
        len = logarithm::numberDigits(val);
        WriteNumber(data, len, unsigned int(val));
        return len;
    }
    else 
    {
        unsigned int v(-val);
        len = logarithm::numberDigits(v);
        WriteNumber(data+1, len, v);
        data[0] = \'-\';
        return len + 1;
    }
}

I believe I have created the fastest integer-to-string algorithm. It\'s a variation of the Modulo 100 algorithm that is about 33% faster, and most importantly it\'s faster for both smaller and large numbers. It\'s called the Script ItoS Algorithm. To read the paper that explains how I engineered the algorithm @see https://github.com/kabuki-starship/kabuki-toolkit/wiki/Engineering-a-Faster-Integer-to-String-Algorithm. You may use the algorithm but please think about contributing back to the Kabuki VM and check out Script; especially if you\'re interested in AMIL-NLP and/or software-defined networking protocols.
