Coverage is number of executions of a given +# branch matched by the heuristics and hitrate is probability that once branch is +# predicted as taken it is really taken. +# +# These values are useful to determine the quality of given heuristics. Hitrate +# may be directly used in predict.c. +# +# Usage: +# Step 1: Compile and profile your program. You need to use -fprofile-arcs +# flag to get the profiles +# Step 2: Generate log files. The information about given heuristics are +# saved into *.bp dumps. You need to pass the -db switch to the compiler as well +# as -fbranch-probabilities to get the results of profiling noted in the dumps. +# Ensure that there are no "Arc profiling: some edge counts were bad." warnings. +# Step 3: Run this script to concatenate all *.life files: +# analyze_brprob `find . -name *.life` +# the information is collected and print once all files are parsed. This +# may take a while. +# Note that the script does use bc to perform long arithmetic. +# Step 4: Read the results.
