Refactor some DateTime and TimeSpan formatting/parsing methods #101640

lilinus · 2024-04-27T12:53:05Z

Use FormattingHelpers.CountDigits.
Use TimeSpanParse.Pow10 in DateTimeFormat.
Change fraction variables from long to int.

Are these sufficiently covered in dotnet/performance? Might be worth running appropriate benchmarks there.

+                Debug.Assert(totalDigitsCount - MaxFractionDigits <= MaxFractionDigits);
+                uint power = (uint)Pow10UpToMaxFractionDigits(totalDigitsCount - MaxFractionDigits);
+                _num = (int)(((uint)_num + power / 2) / power);


_num = (int)(((uint)_num + power / 2) / power);

I am not sure if this dividing by 2 and dividing by power will be more performant than just calling Math.Round?
@tannergooding any opinion on that?

const int MaxFractionDigits = 7; [Params(123456789)] public int Num { get; set; } [Params(10)] public int TotalDigitsCount { get; set; } internal static int Pow10UpToMaxFractionDigits(int pow) { ReadOnlySpan<int> powersOfTen = [ 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000, ]; Debug.Assert(powersOfTen.Length == MaxFractionDigits + 1); return powersOfTen[pow]; } [Benchmark] public int MathRound() => (int)Math.Round((double)Num / Pow10UpToMaxFractionDigits(TotalDigitsCount - MaxFractionDigits), MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero); [Benchmark] public int IntegerRound() { uint power = (uint)Pow10UpToMaxFractionDigits(TotalDigitsCount - MaxFractionDigits); return (int)(((uint)Num + power / 2) / power); }

Method Num TotalDigitsCount Mean Error StdDev

MathRound 123456789 10 0.8892 ns 0.0068 ns 0.0061 ns

IntegerRound 123456789 10 1.2103 ns 0.0044 ns 0.0034 ns

Interesting...I suppose floating point math could be much slower than integer.

I suggest reverting the code back to use Math.Round. It is even more readable and clear the intention of what the code does.

Results on arm64 with the span bounds check removed:

Can you provide a public API benchmark that shows any noticeable perf difference? IMO, It doesn't make sense to benchmark internals.

@EgorBo Not sure about real-world benchmarks, but with the suggested change code size (on X64) is 172 bytes vs is 271 bytes.

@lilinus is it possible you run your perf tests again mentioned in #101640 (comment) with @xtqqczze suggestion to get some idea about the perf of this change? Thanks!

I am talking about the change

uint power = (uint)Pow10UpToMaxFractionDigits(totalDigitsCount - MaxFractionDigits); _num = (int)(((uint)_num + power / 2) / power);

Seems like uint division is slightly faster. I assume you want me to push back to that change so I will do it.

@lilinus looks you already did :-) I am fine with that as tt provides us with a smaller code size and a slightly faster performance as well.

One last ask, please add a comment above that line telling what is does to be easier for anyone reading the code understand what the code is doing.

@xtqqczze thanks for the suggestion!

@lilinus thanks for helping with this change.

tarekgh · 2024-05-02T15:29:19Z

@lilinus could you please merge the latest change from main to this PR to be able to proceed?

lilinus · 2024-05-02T17:18:24Z

@tarekgh, done. Thanks for the feedback etc. I also tried benchmarking the changes but had trouble with antivirus stopping the runtime.

tarekgh · 2024-05-02T17:47:03Z

I also tried benchmarking the changes but had trouble with antivirus stopping the runtime.

Is it possible you can temporary disable the antivirus? Or add exclusion to the runtime and test folders to have the antivirus ignore them?

lilinus · 2024-05-02T20:50:25Z

Managed to get it working. Benchmarked some DateTime and TimeSpan parsing. Results are looking good IMO. Link to benchmarks: here
