Hi Vladimir,
Nice comparison!
It's on the same ballpark of my own findings (with SPEC and other
benchmarks) on ARM: +10% performance, but also code size for GCC over
LLVM, and massive compilation time savings on LLVM.
I wonder how much of that is due to auto-vectorization (on LLVM, -O2+
turns it on, I suppose GCC is only on -O3?). From Ramana's point,
there may be nothing serious if you haven't enabled NEON, though.
Also interesting to see the impact of LTO being a major drive in
recent performance improvements on both compilers.
cheers,
