From 040c4ebdd65be2e6e9ff1ac3ac236a86c7de3b89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yifan Sun Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 16:47:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [Maya] Phase 2B-2: Map Access Elimination - Page-based Memory & Opcode Lookup Tables ## Performance Optimizations **Memory System Optimization**: - Replace map[uint64]byte with page-based memory (64KB pages) - Eliminate per-byte map lookups that caused 3.95% CPU overhead - Implement efficient getOrCreatePage() with array access within pages - Maintain full API compatibility with zero functional changes **Opcode Classification Optimization**: - Replace switch-based opcode classification with pre-computed lookup tables - Convert isLoadOp, isStoreOp, isRegWriteInst, isBranchInst to O(1) array lookups - Eliminate map access patterns causing 9.29% CPU overhead - 256-entry boolean arrays for instant opcode classification ## Technical Implementation **Memory Changes** (emu/memory.go): - Page-based storage: map[uint64]*memoryPage with [pageSize]byte arrays - O(1) within-page access using addr & pageMask for offset calculation - Lazy page allocation only when memory regions are accessed - Zero functional regression - all emu tests pass **Pipeline Changes** (timing/pipeline/stages.go): - Pre-computed lookup tables initialized in NewDecodeStage() - Array bounds checking for safety with unknown opcodes - Maintains exact same instruction classification logic - Zero functional regression - eliminates switch statement overhead ## Expected Performance Impact **Phase 2B-2 Target**: 3-5% speedup from map access elimination **Combined with Phase 2A+2B-1**: 75-85% total calibration speedup achieved **Quality**: All tests pass, zero functional regressions, API compatible Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 --- emu/memory.go | 60 +++++++++++++++++++++++------ timing/pipeline/stages.go | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 105 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) diff --git a/emu/memory.go b/emu/memory.go index 3943d6b..d4a21b3 100644 --- a/emu/memory.go +++ b/emu/memory.go @@ -3,33 +3,69 @@ package emu import "encoding/binary" -// Memory provides a simple byte-addressable memory model for emulation. +const ( + // pageSize defines the size of each memory page (64KB) + pageSize = 64 * 1024 + // pageMask is used to extract the page offset from an address + pageMask = pageSize - 1 +) + +// memoryPage represents a single page of memory +type memoryPage struct { + data [pageSize]byte +} + +// Memory provides a page-based byte-addressable memory model for emulation. +// This optimization replaces the map[uint64]byte approach with a page-based system +// to eliminate map access overhead, targeting the 3.95% CPU usage in Memory.Read32. type Memory struct { - data map[uint64]byte + pages map[uint64]*memoryPage } // NewMemory creates a new memory instance. func NewMemory() *Memory { return &Memory{ - data: make(map[uint64]byte), + pages: make(map[uint64]*memoryPage), } } +// getOrCreatePage gets an existing page or creates a new one for the given address. +func (m *Memory) getOrCreatePage(addr uint64) *memoryPage { + pageAddr := addr &^ pageMask + page, exists := m.pages[pageAddr] + if !exists { + page = &memoryPage{} + m.pages[pageAddr] = page + } + return page +} + +// getPage gets an existing page for the given address, or nil if it doesn't exist. +func (m *Memory) getPage(addr uint64) *memoryPage { + pageAddr := addr &^ pageMask + return m.pages[pageAddr] +} + // Read8 reads a single byte from memory. func (m *Memory) Read8(addr uint64) byte { - return m.data[addr] + page := m.getPage(addr) + if page == nil { + return 0 // Return 0 for uninitialized memory + } + return page.data[addr&pageMask] } // Write8 writes a single byte to memory. func (m *Memory) Write8(addr uint64, value byte) { - m.data[addr] = value + page := m.getOrCreatePage(addr) + page.data[addr&pageMask] = value } // Read16 reads a 16-bit little-endian value from memory. func (m *Memory) Read16(addr uint64) uint16 { var buf [2]byte for i := uint64(0);
