Edward Nevill commented on HADOOP-11660:
----------------------------------------
Hi,
There does not seem to be a variable ARCH. The closest match seems to be
CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR.
I have added a condition in the CMakeLists.txt which does
{code}
IF (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR MATCHES "^i.86$" OR CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL
"x86_64" OR CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL "amd64")
set(BULK_CRC_ARCH_SOURCE_FIlE "${D}/util/bulk_crc32_x86.c")
ELSEIF (CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR STREQUAL "aarch64")
set(BULK_CRC_ARCH_SOURCE_FIlE "${D}/util/bulk_crc32_aarch64.c")
ENDIF()
{code}
And then uses BULK_CRC_ARCH_SOURCE_FIlE in the 2 cases where it is included
later.
Thanks for your help and apologies for the amount of time this patch is taking,
Ed.
> Add support for hardware crc on ARM aarch64 architecture
> --------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-11660
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11660
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: native
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Environment: ARM aarch64 development platform
> Reporter: Edward Nevill
> Assignee: Edward Nevill
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: performance
> Attachments: jira-11660.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> This patch adds support for hardware crc for ARM's new 64 bit architecture
> The patch is completely conditionalized on __aarch64__
> I have only added support for the non pipelined version as I benchmarked the
> pipelined version on aarch64 and it showed no performance improvement.
> The aarch64 version supports both Castagnoli and Zlib CRCs as both of these
> are supported on ARM aarch64 hardwre.
> To benchmark this I modified the test_bulk_crc32 test to print out the time
> taken to CRC a 1MB dataset 1000 times.
> Before:
> CRC 1048576 bytes @ 512 bytes per checksum X 1000 iterations = 2.55
> CRC 1048576 bytes @ 512 bytes per checksum X 1000 iterations = 2.55
> After:
> CRC 1048576 bytes @ 512 bytes per checksum X 1000 iterations = 0.57
> CRC 1048576 bytes @ 512 bytes per checksum X 1000 iterations = 0.57
> So this represents a 5X performance improvement on raw CRC calculation.
