Hello,
I am using the icc v.16 compiler to parallelize this part of my program:
#pragma simd assert for(int i=0; i<nParticlesInUse; i++) { if (particles.id == INVALID) continue; particles.ax = GRAVITY_X; particles.ay = GRAVITY_Y; for (int j=0; j<nParticlesInUse; j++) { if (particles.id != INVALID) { double dx = particles .x - particles.x; double dy = particles .y - particles.y; double r2 = dx * dx + dy * dy; if( r2 > cutoff*cutoff ) { } else { r2 = fmax( r2, min_r*min_r ); double r = sqrt( r2 ); double coef = ( 1 - cutoff / r ) / r2 / mass; particles.ax += coef * dx; particles.ay += coef * dy; if (particles.ax*particles.ax + particles.ay*particles.ay > 10000000) { particles.ax = 0; particles.ay = 0; } } } } }
gprof indicated that this is the most used function by far.
So, the vectorization report indicates a speedup of 2.29x:

LOOP END
LOOP END
Unfortunately, the vectorization slows down the execution: without simd: 22.26 seconds; with simd: 24.28 seconds.
Can somebody give me some pointers what is best practice to debug this behavior?
Best regards,
Tim
