  • Improving Performance Through Vector Optimizations with Z/OS XL C/C++
    Improving performance through vector IBM optimizations with z/OS XL C/C++ Improving performance through vector optimizations with z/OS XL C/C++ Introduction In the past, a large portion of the improvements from one release of the IBM Z® hardware to the next came from CPU clock speed increases, which allowed existing programs to bene it from the newer hardware without the need for recompilation. Simply running the existing binary on the new hardware was enough to see noticeable improvement in performance. However, as CPU clock speed has stagnated due to physical limitations, CPU designers have focused their efforts on other areas within the CPU to improve performance. These areas include improved branch prediction, increased cache sizes, and additions to the instruction set architecture (ISA). One of the biggest additions to the ISA introduced in IBM z13® and IBM z13s® and enhanced in IBM z14™ were the vector instructions and vector registers. Vector instructions use the vector registers to operate on multiple elements of data in parallel. These single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) class of instructions allow the processor to use the data level parallelism inherent in many workloads to improve performance. However, unlike the CPU clock speed improvements of the past, these new SIMD instructions require greater intervention on the part of the user. Source code needs to be recompiled with the latest compiler to properly take advantage of these new features. Not recompiling means missing out on possibly significant performance improvements and under-utilizing the hardware. This document describes the vector-related optimizations that are available in the z/OS® V2R3 XL C/C++ compiler.
