Description

hi, 小彭老师好。关于 07/03_prefetch/06 例子运行结果我有一些疑问,望指正。
我的平台是 Intel i5-13500, Ubuntu 24.04, gcc version 13.2.0
在运行 07/03_prefetch/06 这个例子时,
去掉例子中的 #pragma omp parallel for 才能得到与课程中类似的结果。我不清楚 #pragma omp parallel for 是否除了并行之外还有其他的优化?

原始版本运行结果

从运行结果可以看到,BM_write_stream_then_read 跟 BM_write_streamed 运行耗时相近,似乎读对 stream 指令并没有影响

去除 #pragma omp parallel for 版本运行结果

从运行结果可以看到,BM_write_stream_then_read 运行耗时显著比 BM_write_streamed 长

Research direction

Start with the 07/03_prefetch/06 example and reproduce the two benchmark runs on the reported Intel i5-13500, Ubuntu 24.04, and GCC 13.2. Compare the results with and without #pragma omp parallel for; the issue is resolved when the effect of the pragma and the differing benchmark timings are explained or documented.
