runtime: disable prefetching on 386
It doesn't seem to help on modern processors and it makes Go impossible to run on Pentium MMX (which is the documented minimum hardware requirement.) Old is with prefetch, new is w/o. Both are compiled with GO386=sse2. Benchmarking is done on Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz. name old time/op new time/op delta BinaryTree17-4 2.89s ± 2% 2.87s ± 0% ~ (p=0.061 n=11+10) Fannkuch11-4 3.65s ± 0% 3.65s ± 0% ~ (p=0.365 n=11+11) FmtFprintfEmpty-4 52.1ns ± 0% 52.1ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.065 n=10+9) FmtFprintfString-4 168ns ± 0% 167ns ± 0% -0.48% (p=0.000 n=8+10) FmtFprintfInt-4 167ns ± 0% 167ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.591 n=9+10) FmtFprintfIntInt-4 295ns ± 0% 292ns ± 0% -0.99% (p=0.000 n=9+10) FmtFprintfPrefixedInt-4 327ns ± 0% 326ns ± 0% -0.24% (p=0.007 n=10+10) FmtFprintfFloat-4 431ns ± 0% 431ns ± 0% -0.07% (p=0.000 n=10+11) FmtManyArgs-4 1.13µs ± 0% 1.13µs ± 0% -0.37% (p=0.009 n=11+11) GobDecode-4 9.36ms ± 1% 9.33ms ± 0% -0.31% (p=0.006 n=11+10) GobEncode-4 7.38ms ± 1% 7.38ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.797 n=11+11) Gzip-4 394ms ± 0% 395ms ± 1% ~ (p=0.519 n=11+11) Gunzip-4 65.4ms ± 0% 65.4ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.739 n=10+10) HTTPClientServer-4 52.4µs ± 1% 52.5µs ± 1% ~ (p=0.748 n=11+11) JSONEncode-4 19.0ms ± 0% 19.0ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.780 n=9+10) JSONDecode-4 59.6ms ± 0% 59.6ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.720 n=9+10) Mandelbrot200-4 4.09ms ± 0% 4.09ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.295 n=11+9) GoParse-4 3.45ms ± 1% 3.43ms ± 1% -0.35% (p=0.040 n=11+11) RegexpMatchEasy0_32-4 101ns ± 1% 101ns ± 1% ~ (p=1.000 n=11+11) RegexpMatchEasy0_1K-4 796ns ± 0% 796ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.954 n=10+8) RegexpMatchEasy1_32-4 110ns ± 0% 110ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.289 n=9+11) RegexpMatchEasy1_1K-4 991ns ± 0% 991ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.784 n=10+8) RegexpMatchMedium_32-4 131ns ± 0% 130ns ± 0% -0.42% (p=0.004 n=11+9) RegexpMatchMedium_1K-4 41.9µs ± 1% 41.6µs ± 0% ~ (p=0.067 n=11+9) RegexpMatchHard_32-4 2.34µs ± 0% 2.34µs ± 0% ~ (p=0.208 n=11+11) RegexpMatchHard_1K-4 70.9µs ± 0% 71.0µs ± 0% ~ (p=0.968 n=9+10) Revcomp-4 819ms ± 0% 818ms ± 0% ~ (p=0.251 n=10+11) Template-4 73.9ms ± 0% 73.8ms ± 0% -0.25% (p=0.013 n=10+11) TimeParse-4 414ns ± 0% 414ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.809 n=11+10) TimeFormat-4 485ns ± 0% 485ns ± 0% ~ (p=0.404 n=11+7) name old speed new speed delta GobDecode-4 82.0MB/s ± 1% 82.3MB/s ± 0% +0.31% (p=0.007 n=11+10) GobEncode-4 104MB/s ± 1% 104MB/s ± 1% ~ (p=0.797 n=11+11) Gzip-4 49.2MB/s ± 0% 49.1MB/s ± 1% ~ (p=0.507 n=11+11) Gunzip-4 297MB/s ± 0% 297MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.670 n=10+10) JSONEncode-4 102MB/s ± 0% 102MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.794 n=9+10) JSONDecode-4 32.6MB/s ± 0% 32.6MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.334 n=9+9) GoParse-4 16.8MB/s ± 1% 16.9MB/s ± 1% ~ (p=0.052 n=11+11) RegexpMatchEasy0_32-4 314MB/s ± 0% 314MB/s ± 1% ~ (p=0.618 n=11+11) RegexpMatchEasy0_1K-4 1.29GB/s ± 0% 1.29GB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.315 n=10+10) RegexpMatchEasy1_32-4 290MB/s ± 1% 290MB/s ± 1% ~ (p=0.667 n=10+11) RegexpMatchEasy1_1K-4 1.03GB/s ± 0% 1.03GB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.829 n=10+8) RegexpMatchMedium_32-4 7.63MB/s ± 0% 7.65MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.142 n=11+11) RegexpMatchMedium_1K-4 24.4MB/s ± 1% 24.6MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.063 n=11+9) RegexpMatchHard_32-4 13.7MB/s ± 0% 13.7MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.302 n=11+11) RegexpMatchHard_1K-4 14.4MB/s ± 0% 14.4MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.784 n=9+10) Revcomp-4 310MB/s ± 0% 311MB/s ± 0% ~ (p=0.243 n=10+11) Template-4 26.2MB/s ± 0% 26.3MB/s ± 0% +0.24% (p=0.009 n=10+11) Update #12970.
