Optimise Trace Generation (Except Hub)

Closed this issue · 2 comments

The Trace.java file produced by corset for all of the modules is very inefficient places. Some examples:

  • Every i8 requires 2 bytes per element (i.e. 16 bits)
  • Every i32 requires 8 bytes per element (i.e. 64 bits)
  • Every i64 requires 32 bytes per element (i.e. 256 bits)

For more details, see Corset issue#160.

At this stage, we don't have to do all the modules in one go. In particular, I will not update the hub with this issue, but will leave that for future.

So, for the 531 trace files generated from running the tests in this repository. Originally, they produced 6.7G of data; now with all modules except hub updated, they produce 5.1G of data. Its definitely an improvement, though I was hoping for more :). I guess the hub is a big part of the reason here.

I(ve updtated the HUB trace in #748
