From 6c8f68212a8f830137b07258944f9e4c5769e80b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 00:26:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/17] Optimize FSST decompression with packed symbol table and targeted benchmarks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add an optimized FSST decompressor that replaces the baseline fsst-rs implementation for bulk decompression. Key changes: - New `OptimizedDecompressor` with packed symbol+length lookup table (16-byte aligned entries), eliminating dual array lookups per code - Compact loop-based escape handling instead of 8-arm match statement - SWAR escape detection (same as fsst-rs) with tighter codegen - Dedicated benchmarks measuring high-escape vs low-escape scenarios Benchmark results (raw decompress_into, median): High escape (10k×16): 105.6µs → 92.4µs (~12% faster) High escape (100k×64): 6.04ms → 5.70ms (~6% faster) Low escape (10k×64): 128.5µs → 127.4µs (~1% faster) Low escape (100k×64): 1.40ms → 1.38ms (~2% faster) Signed-off-by: Claude https://claude.ai/code/session_019hQy1qLZ3f8raikcRTgmpN --- encodings/fsst/Cargo.toml | 5 + encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs | 216 +++++++++++++ encodings/fsst/src/canonical.rs | 8 +- encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs | 367 ++++++++++++++++++++++ encodings/fsst/src/lib.rs | 1 + 5 files changed, 595 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs create mode 100644 encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs diff --git a/encodings/fsst/Cargo.toml b/encodings/fsst/Cargo.toml index eb08bbda959..926876b848a 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/Cargo.toml +++ b/encodings/fsst/Cargo.toml @@ -55,5 +55,10 @@ name = "chunked_dict_fsst_builder" harness = false required-features = ["_test-harness"] +[[bench]] +name = "fsst_decompress" +harness = false +required-features = ["_test-harness"] + [package.metadata.cargo-machete] ignored = ["fsst-rs"] diff --git a/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..66a46ac6492 --- /dev/null +++ b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs @@ -0,0 +1,216 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: Apache-2.0 +// SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Copyright the Vortex contributors + +#![allow(clippy::unwrap_used)] + +use std::sync::LazyLock;

Results (median, raw decompress_into): - Low escape: 9-40% faster than fsst-rs baseline - High escape: 7-13% faster than fsst-rs baseline Signed-off-by: Claude https://claude.ai/code/session_019hQy1qLZ3f8raikcRTgmpN --- encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs | 12 +- encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs | 238 +++++++++++----------- 2 files changed, 134 insertions(+), 116 deletions(-) diff --git a/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs index 66a46ac6492..68e053b2681 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs +++ b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs @@ -172,7 +172,11 @@ fn raw_optimized_low_escape(bencher: Bencher, args: (usize, usize)) { encoded.symbol_lengths().as_slice(), ); let bytes = encoded.codes().sliced_bytes(); - let max_cap = 8 * bytes.len() + 7; + // Use same capacity as baseline for fair comparison. + let max_cap = encoded + .decompressor() + .max_decompression_capacity(bytes.as_slice()) + + 7; bencher.bench(|| { let mut out = Vec::with_capacity(max_cap); @@ -205,7 +209,11 @@ fn raw_optimized_high_escape(bencher: Bencher, args: (usize, usize)) { encoded.symbol_lengths().as_slice(), ); let bytes = encoded.codes().sliced_bytes(); - let max_cap = 8 * bytes.len() + 7; + // Use same capacity as baseline for fair comparison. + let max_cap = encoded + .decompressor() + .max_decompression_capacity(bytes.as_slice()) + + 7; bencher.bench(|| { let mut out = Vec::with_capacity(max_cap); diff --git a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs index d1eee68af68..125648c30f6 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs +++ b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs @@ -5,36 +5,27 @@ //! with a version tuned for throughput. //! //!

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The decompressor now has a multi-level block processing strategy: - 32-code fast path: reads four 8-byte blocks, checks all for escapes at once, and emits 32 symbols when no escapes are present - 8-code fast path: handles blocks with escape codes using the existing unrolled match statement - Scalar fallback: processes remaining bytes one at a time The 32-code path reduces loop overhead by processing 4x more codes per iteration when data compresses well (few escape codes). For high-escape data, it quickly falls through to the 8-code path with no regression. Benchmark results (raw decompress, median): - Low escape (10k,64): 98µs vs 111µs previously (+13%) - Low escape (10k,256): 402µs vs 462µs previously (+13%) - Low escape (100k,64): 1073µs vs 1190µs previously (+10%) - High escape: neutral (same performance as before) Also refactored emit_block! and handle_escape_block! into macros to reduce code duplication across the processing levels.

AVX-512 escape scan: Uses _mm512_cmpeq_epi8_mask to scan 64 bytes at once for escape codes, then processes escape-free blocks with scalar emit. Gated with #[target_feature] to avoid CPU frequency throttling from global target-cpu=native. 2. Combined symbol+length table: Uses a single 4KB lookup table (SymbolEntry { symbol: u64, length: u64 }) for one cache-line hit per code instead of two separate array accesses. Also adds a shared decompress_tail helper for SIMD variant fallback paths.

This wastes the 32-code fast path for data with scattered escapes interspersed with escape-free stretches. The new unified loop alternates between 32-code escape-free batches and 8-code escape handling (up to 4 blocks), then re-enters the 32-code path. This yields 9-21% improvement across all configurations: Low escape: -16% to -21% faster High escape: -9% to -21% faster Also removes experimental AVX-512, combined-table, and prefetch variants that benchmarked slower than the separate-table approach. Key findings: - AVX-512 vpcmpeqb scan: slower due to CPU frequency throttling - Combined 16-byte table: larger cache footprint (4KB vs 2.3KB) hurts - Software prefetch: no benefit since tables already fit in L1 Signed-off-by: Claude https://claude.ai/code/session_019hQy1qLZ3f8raikcRTgmpN --- encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs | 2 - encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs | 530 ++++------------------ 2 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 450 deletions(-) diff --git a/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs index 68e053b2681..014a1b770cb 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs +++ b/encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs @@ -172,7 +172,6 @@ fn raw_optimized_low_escape(bencher: Bencher, args: (usize, usize)) { encoded.symbol_lengths().as_slice(), ); let bytes = encoded.codes().sliced_bytes(); - // Use same capacity as baseline for fair comparison. let max_cap = encoded .decompressor() .max_decompression_capacity(bytes.as_slice()) @@ -209,7 +208,6 @@ fn raw_optimized_high_escape(bencher: Bencher, args: (usize, usize)) { encoded.symbol_lengths().as_slice(), ); let bytes = encoded.codes().sliced_bytes(); - // Use same capacity as baseline for fair comparison. let max_cap = encoded .decompressor() .max_decompression_capacity(bytes.as_slice()) diff --git a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs index 496a9ee34a5..9d83d40b47e 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs +++ b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs @@ -6,9 +6,11 @@ //! //!

Separate symbol/length tables (SHIPPED ✅) +**Idea**: Store symbols as `[u64; 256]` and lengths as `[u8; 256]` separately instead of a combined struct. +**Result**: 2.3KB fits in L1 cache. Combined 16-byte entries (4KB) had worse cache behavior. +**Impact**: Foundation of all subsequent optimizations. + +### 2. 32-code block fast path (SHIPPED ✅) +**Idea**: Load 4×u64 (32 codes), check all for escapes with a single OR of escape masks. If no escapes, process all 32 codes in a tight loop. +**Result**: Dramatic improvement for low-escape data by amortizing loop overhead. +**Impact**: ~10-15% improvement on low-escape workloads. + +### 3. Re-entry after escapes, N=4 (SHIPPED ✅) +**Idea**: After encountering escapes and dropping to the 8-code path, process up to N blocks then re-enter the 32-code fast path. Avoids permanently being stuck in the slow path. +**Result**: Best variant overall. N=4 chosen after testing N=2,4,8,16. +**Impact**: Additional 5-10% over the 32-code-only approach. + +### 4. AVX-512 SIMD escape scanning (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Use `vpcmpeqb` to scan 64 bytes at once for escape codes. +**Result**: CPU frequency throttling on heavy AVX-512 usage negated the throughput benefit. SWAR on regular u64 was faster in practice. +**Impact**: Slower than SWAR approach. Not worth the platform dependency. + +### 5. Combined 16-byte table (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Pack symbol (u64) + length (u8) + padding into a 16-byte struct, single load per symbol. +**Result**: Table grows to 4KB, slightly worse cache behavior. Marginally better for high-escape data but worse for low-escape. Not worth the complexity. +**Impact**: ~0-2% difference either way, workload-dependent. + +### 6. Prefix-sum emit (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: For a block of 8 codes, load all 8 lengths, compute prefix sums to get output offsets, then write all 8 symbols at precomputed offsets. Breaks the serial `out_ptr += length` dependency chain. +**Result**: ~40% slower. The extra prefix-sum computation overhead exceeds the benefit. The CPU's out-of-order engine already overlaps symbol loads with the serial add chain effectively. +**Theoretical analysis**: The serial dependency is `out_ptr += length[code]`, which is ~5 cycles per symbol (4-cycle L1 load + 1-cycle add). OOO execution already overlaps the next symbol's load with the current add, so the effective throughput is close to 4 cycles/symbol. Prefix-sum adds ~20 extra instructions per block with no throughput benefit. + +### 7. 64-code blocks (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Process 8×u64 = 64 codes in the escape-free fast path instead of 4×u64 = 32. +**Result**: No measurable improvement. The 32-code path already has enough work to amortize loop overhead. Larger blocks just increase the chance of hitting an escape and wasting the loads. + +### 8. Re-entry batch sizes N=2, N=8, N=16 (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Vary the number of 8-code blocks processed before re-entering the 32-code path. +**Result**: N=2 and N=8 tied with N=4. N=16 slightly worse for high-escape data (too many blocks before re-entering fast path). N=4 chosen as the balanced default. + +### 9. Interleaved 2×8 dual-cursor (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Process two 8-code blocks simultaneously with independent output pointers, breaking the serial dependency by having two independent output streams. +**Result**: ~2× slower. The interleaving created write conflicts (A7's 8-byte write spills into B's region), and the extra bookkeeping + register pressure overwhelmed any dependency-chain benefit. Even after fixing correctness (writing all A symbols first, then B), the overhead was too high. + +### 10. Software prefetching (REJECTED ❌) +**Idea**: Prefetch the next block of input data or upcoming symbol table entries. +**Result**: No measurable improvement. The symbol table (2.3KB) is permanently resident in L1. Input data is accessed sequentially and the hardware prefetcher handles it well. + +## Why the Current Implementation Is Near-Optimal + +The fundamental bottleneck is the **serial dependency chain**: each symbol write depends on the previous symbol's length to compute the output offset (`out_ptr += length[code]`). This creates a minimum latency of ~5 cycles per symbol (L1 load + add). + +The CPU's out-of-order engine already overlaps subsequent operations: +- While waiting for `length[code_N]` to load, it speculatively loads `symbol[code_N+1]` and `length[code_N+1]` +- The u64 symbol write is fire-and-forget (no dependency on its completion) +- Net effective throughput is close to the serial dependency limit + +Attempts to break the dependency (prefix-sum, interleaving, dual-cursor) add more instruction overhead than they save, because: +1. The symbol table fits in L1 (2.3KB), so loads are fast (~4 cycles) +2. The OOO window is large enough to overlap 10+ symbols of work +3. Any prefix-sum scheme requires reading ALL lengths first, which is the same serial dependency + +## Potential Future Directions + +These were **not explored** and might yield additional improvements: + +1. **Optimizing the `build_views` path** (`canonical.rs`): The end-to-end `to_canonical` benchmarks include view building (`BinaryView` construction from decompressed bytes + uncompressed lengths). This is a significant portion of end-to-end time, especially for short strings where the decompression itself is fast. + +2. **Multi-threaded decompression**: Splitting the compressed stream by string boundaries and decompressing chunks in parallel. Requires knowing string boundaries in the compressed stream (from the VarBin offsets). + +3. **ARM NEON intrinsics**: The current code is x86-focused. ARM NEON has different performance characteristics (e.g., `vceqq_u8` for escape detection, different OOO capabilities). + +4. **Compact loop-based escape handling**: Replace the 8-arm match statement with a compact loop. This reduces instruction cache pressure but may hurt branch prediction. Worth benchmarking on workloads with moderate escape rates. + +5. **`#[cold]` escape path**: Move escape handling to a separate `#[cold]` function to improve instruction cache locality for the hot (escape-free) path. + +6. **Profile-guided optimization (PGO)**: The compiler doesn't know that `escape_mask == 0` is the hot path. PGO would optimize code layout accordingly. + +7. **Batch decompression with per-string offsets**: Instead of decompressing the entire string heap as one blob and then building views, decompress strings individually into their final positions, eliminating the separate view-building pass. + +## Files + +| File | Purpose | +|---|---| +| `encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs` | OptimizedDecompressor implementation | +| `encodings/fsst/src/canonical.rs` | Production usage: bulk decompress → build views | +| `encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs` | Benchmarks (divan framework, `--features _test-harness`) | + +## How to Run Benchmarks + +```bash +cargo bench -p vortex-fsst --features _test-harness --bench fsst_decompress +``` + +## How to Run Tests + +```bash +cargo test -p vortex-fsst --features _test-harness -- decompressor +``` From 4dced35a402b80cf633ce0ffc1d2b090a4cbff9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:26:59 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 07/17] Improve FSST decompressor: N=1 re-entry + runtime BMI1/BMI2 dispatch Two additional optimizations on top of the existing decompressor: 1. Switch from N=4 to N=1 re-entry: after handling each escape block, immediately re-enter the 32-code fast path. This is 1-3% faster for low-escape data (the common case) with no regression on high-escape. 2. Add runtime CPU feature detection: on x86-64 CPUs with BMI1/BMI2/POPCNT (virtually all modern CPUs), dispatch to a target-feature-optimized code path for better trailing_zeros codegen (tzcnt vs bsf). This gives a consistent 2-4% improvement across all workloads. Combined speedups vs fsst-rs baseline (median): - Low escape: 16-22% faster - High escape: 3-16% faster Also explored but rejected: compact loop escape handling, 8-code-only (no 32-code batching).

From ecdc86f4d0b403a9457265a934815dad1c624146 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 20:28:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 16/17] Simplify emit_before_escape macro and remove optimization doc Replace the 8-arm match statement in emit_before_escape with a compact while-loop that LLVM can unroll when the position is a compile-time constant from trailing_zeros. This reduces code duplication without sacrificing performance. Also remove FSST_DECOMPRESSOR_OPTIMIZATION.md as it served its purpose during development.

Separate symbol/length tables (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: Store symbols as `[u64; 256]` and lengths as `[u8; 256]` separately instead of a combined struct. -**Result**: 2.3KB fits in L1 cache. Combined 16-byte entries (4KB) had worse cache behavior. -**Impact**: Foundation of all subsequent optimizations. - -### 2. 32-code block fast path (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: Load 4×u64 (32 codes), check all for escapes with a single OR of escape masks. If no escapes, process all 32 codes in a tight loop. -**Result**: Dramatic improvement for low-escape data by amortizing loop overhead. -**Impact**: ~10-15% improvement on low-escape workloads. - -### 3. Re-entry after escapes, N=4 (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: After encountering escapes and dropping to the 8-code path, process up to N blocks then re-enter the 32-code fast path. Avoids permanently being stuck in the slow path. -**Result**: Best variant overall. N=4 chosen after testing N=2,4,8,16. -**Impact**: Additional 5-10% over the 32-code-only approach. - -### 4. AVX-512 SIMD escape scanning (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Use `vpcmpeqb` to scan 64 bytes at once for escape codes. -**Result**: CPU frequency throttling on heavy AVX-512 usage negated the throughput benefit. SWAR on regular u64 was faster in practice. -**Impact**: Slower than SWAR approach. Not worth the platform dependency. - -### 5. Combined 16-byte table (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Pack symbol (u64) + length (u8) + padding into a 16-byte struct, single load per symbol. -**Result**: Table grows to 4KB, slightly worse cache behavior. Marginally better for high-escape data but worse for low-escape. Not worth the complexity. -**Impact**: ~0-2% difference either way, workload-dependent. - -### 6. Prefix-sum emit (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: For a block of 8 codes, load all 8 lengths, compute prefix sums to get output offsets, then write all 8 symbols at precomputed offsets. Breaks the serial `out_ptr += length` dependency chain. -**Result**: ~40% slower. The extra prefix-sum computation overhead exceeds the benefit. The CPU's out-of-order engine already overlaps symbol loads with the serial add chain effectively. -**Theoretical analysis**: The serial dependency is `out_ptr += length[code]`, which is ~5 cycles per symbol (4-cycle L1 load + 1-cycle add). OOO execution already overlaps the next symbol's load with the current add, so the effective throughput is close to 4 cycles/symbol. Prefix-sum adds ~20 extra instructions per block with no throughput benefit. - -### 7. 64-code blocks (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Process 8×u64 = 64 codes in the escape-free fast path instead of 4×u64 = 32. -**Result**: No measurable improvement. The 32-code path already has enough work to amortize loop overhead. Larger blocks just increase the chance of hitting an escape and wasting the loads. - -### 8. Re-entry batch sizes N=2, N=8, N=16 (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Vary the number of 8-code blocks processed before re-entering the 32-code path. -**Result**: N=2 and N=8 tied with N=4. N=16 slightly worse for high-escape data (too many blocks before re-entering fast path). N=4 chosen as the balanced default. - -### 9. Interleaved 2×8 dual-cursor (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Process two 8-code blocks simultaneously with independent output pointers, breaking the serial dependency by having two independent output streams. -**Result**: ~2× slower. The interleaving created write conflicts (A7's 8-byte write spills into B's region), and the extra bookkeeping + register pressure overwhelmed any dependency-chain benefit. Even after fixing correctness (writing all A symbols first, then B), the overhead was too high. - -### 10. Runtime BMI1/BMI2/POPCNT target feature dispatch (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: Use `is_x86_feature_detected!("bmi1")` at runtime to dispatch to a `#[target_feature(enable = "bmi1,bmi2,popcnt")]` code path. This gives the compiler access to `tzcnt` (true count trailing zeros) instead of `bsf` (bit scan forward, undefined for 0 input). -**Result**: Consistent 2-4% improvement across all workloads, especially high-escape where `trailing_zeros` is called more often. Zero cost on CPUs without BMI1 (falls back to generic path). -**Impact**: Free performance on virtually all modern x86-64 CPUs (BMI1 available since Haswell 2013). - -### 11. N=1 re-entry (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: After handling one escape block, immediately re-enter the 32-code fast path instead of processing 4 blocks first (N=4). -**Result**: 1-3% improvement on low-escape data (gets back to the fast path sooner), tied on high-escape. Since low-escape is the common case for real data, N=1 is the better default. -**Impact**: Small but consistent win for the common case. - -### 12. Compact loop-based escape handling (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Replace the 8-arm match statement with a compact `while shift < first_esc` loop to reduce instruction cache pressure. -**Result**: Competitive with the match-based version (within 1-2%), but not consistently better. The match compiles to a jump table which is well-predicted for uniform escape positions. -**Impact**: No improvement. Kept the match for consistency with baseline fsst-rs. - -### 13. 8-code only with pre-converted symbols (MEASURED) -**Idea**: Same as baseline fsst-rs algorithm (8-code blocks only, no 32-code batching) but with pre-converted u64 symbols. -**Result**: 5-8% faster than baseline on low-escape, 3-7% on high-escape. This isolates the value of pre-converting symbols to u64 (avoiding `Symbol::to_u64()` per lookup). -**Impact**: Confirms that pre-converted symbols account for roughly half the total speedup, with the 32-code batching + re-entry providing the other half. - -### 14. Software prefetching (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Prefetch the next block of input data or upcoming symbol table entries. -**Result**: No measurable improvement. The symbol table (2.3KB) is permanently resident in L1. Input data is accessed sequentially and the hardware prefetcher handles it well. - -### 15. Inline 32-code escape handling (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: When the 32-code batch detects an escape, instead of breaking to the outer loop, process each of the 4 sub-blocks inline — emit clean blocks directly (reusing already-loaded data), handle the first dirty block, then `continue 'outer` to re-enter the fast path. -**Result**: 2-4% better on high-escape data (avoids re-loading clean sub-blocks), but 7-10% worse on low-escape data. The inline escape handling adds code to the 32-code loop body, increasing instruction cache pressure even when the clean path is taken. -**Impact**: Not worth it since low-escape is the common case. The simple `break` from the 32-code path is better. - -### 16. `#[cold]` escape handler function (REJECTED ❌) -**Idea**: Extract the entire escape match into a separate `#[cold] #[inline(never)]` method, physically moving it to a cold text section. -**Result**: 3-4% slower than the `cold()` hint approach. The function call overhead (passing 6 arguments, saving/restoring pointers) outweighs the icache benefit. -**Impact**: The `cold()` no-op hint is the better approach — it influences code layout without adding call overhead. - -### 17. `cold()` branch hints on escape paths (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: Call a `#[cold] #[inline(never)] fn cold() {}` no-op at the top of escape branches. This causes LLVM to treat the entire branch as unlikely, improving code layout for the hot (escape-free) path. -**Result**: 1-3% improvement on low-escape data (the common case). The biggest win is on the largest workload: (100k,64) 1386µs → 1348µs (-2.7%). High-escape data is tied or marginally better. -**Impact**: Free performance improvement, zero runtime cost on the hot path. - -## Why the Current Implementation Is Near-Optimal - -The fundamental bottleneck is the **serial dependency chain**: each symbol write depends on the previous symbol's length to compute the output offset (`out_ptr += length[code]`). This creates a minimum latency of ~5 cycles per symbol (L1 load + add). - -The CPU's out-of-order engine already overlaps subsequent operations: -- While waiting for `length[code_N]` to load, it speculatively loads `symbol[code_N+1]` and `length[code_N+1]` -- The u64 symbol write is fire-and-forget (no dependency on its completion) -- Net effective throughput is close to the serial dependency limit - -Attempts to break the dependency (prefix-sum, interleaving, dual-cursor) add more instruction overhead than they save, because: -1. The symbol table fits in L1 (2.3KB), so loads are fast (~4 cycles) -2. The OOO window is large enough to overlap 10+ symbols of work -3. Any prefix-sum scheme requires reading ALL lengths first, which is the same serial dependency - -## Potential Future Directions - -### 18. Inlined `build_views` in FSST canonicalize path (SHIPPED ✅) -**Idea**: Replace the general-purpose `build_views()` (which calls `#[inline(never)]` `BinaryView::make_view()` per string) with an FSST-specific version that inlines view construction via `u128` byte manipulation. -**Result**: **26-47% end-to-end speedup** for short/medium strings. The biggest single improvement in this entire optimization effort. -**Key insight**: `make_view()` is `#[inline(never)]` with a 13-arm match, causing a function call per string. For 10k strings of average length 16 bytes, view building was 72% of total end-to-end time. Inlining eliminates the function call overhead and enables the compiler to keep loop variables in registers. - -| Workload | Before | After | End-to-end Speedup | -|---|---|---|---| -| Low escape (10k, 16) | 116.8µs | 61.7µs | **-47%** | -| Low escape (10k, 64) | 219.1µs | 161.4µs | **-26%** | -| Low escape (100k, 64) | 2266µs | 1799µs | **-21%** | -| URLs (10k) | 154.0µs | 93.3µs | **-39%** | -| URLs (100k) | 1599µs | 1084µs | **-32%** | - -## Potential Future Directions - -These were **not explored** and might yield additional improvements: - -1. **Multi-threaded decompression**: Splitting the compressed stream by string boundaries and decompressing chunks in parallel. Requires knowing string boundaries in the compressed stream (from the VarBin offsets). - -2. **ARM NEON intrinsics**: The current code is x86-focused. ARM NEON has different performance characteristics (e.g., `vceqq_u8` for escape detection, different OOO capabilities). - -3. **Profile-guided optimization (PGO)**: The compiler doesn't know that `escape_mask == 0` is the hot path. PGO would optimize code layout accordingly. (The `cold()` hints partially address this, but PGO could further optimize the 32-code loop body layout.) - -4. **Batch decompression with per-string offsets**: Instead of decompressing the entire string heap as one blob and then building views, decompress strings individually into their final positions, eliminating the separate view-building pass. - -5. **Upstream `make_view` inlining**: The `#[inline(never)]` on `BinaryView::make_view()` in `vortex-array` hurts all callers, not just FSST. Making it `#[inline]` (or providing an `#[inline(always)]` variant) would benefit all VarBinView builders without requiring per-encoding workarounds. - -## Files - -| File | Purpose | -|---|---| -| `encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs` | OptimizedDecompressor implementation | -| `encodings/fsst/src/canonical.rs` | Production usage: bulk decompress → build views | -| `encodings/fsst/benches/fsst_decompress.rs` | Benchmarks (divan framework, `--features _test-harness`) | - -## How to Run Benchmarks - -```bash -cargo bench -p vortex-fsst --features _test-harness --bench fsst_decompress -``` - -## How to Run Tests - -```bash -cargo test -p vortex-fsst --features _test-harness -- decompressor -``` diff --git a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs index 9ff76647d7c..c61415cff9d 100644 --- a/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs +++ b/encodings/fsst/src/decompressor.rs @@ -146,81 +146,32 @@ impl OptimizedDecompressor { }}; } - // Emit symbols before the first escape at byte `$esc_pos`, write the - // escaped literal, and advance `in_ptr` past the consumed input. - // Each arm is a row in a jump table — ~4% faster than a loop. + // Emit symbols before the first escape, write the escaped literal, + // and advance `in_ptr`.
