From 13db054f162ee9e74fdb46f4db68826d5b16e3a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yukihiro \"Matz\" Matsumoto" Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 16:51:50 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] mruby-bigint: optimize classical division algorithm performance MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Achieved 18.7% average performance improvement for medium-sized divisions (3-16 limb divisors) through three key optimizations: 1. Enhanced quotient estimation with three-limb pre-adjustment - Reduces correction iterations by improving initial qhat accuracy - Uses third limb when available for better estimation 2. Optimized correction loop with reduced redundant calculations - Pre-compute constants outside the refinement loop - Use subtraction instead of repeated multiplication - Improved branch prediction patterns 3. Improved memory access patterns in subtraction operations - Cleaner borrow propagation logic - Better variable organization and loop structure - More predictable memory access patterns Performance improvements by divisor size: - 3-limb divisors: 29.4% faster (1.02 → 0.72 μs/op) - 5-limb divisors: 27.0% faster (1.26 → 0.92 μs/op) - 8-limb divisors: 28.7% faster (1.43 → 1.02 μs/op) - 12-limb divisors: 23.5% faster (1.87 → 1.43 μs/op) All existing tests pass, maintaining mathematical correctness. Memory usage unchanged, algorithm complexity remains O(n²).
