Checking that the lengths are equal and panicking teaches the compiler that it can assume “i in range for z” implies “i in range for x”, letting us simplify the actual loops a bit. It also turns up a few places in math/big that were playing maybe a little too fast and loose with slice lengths. Update those to explicitly set all the input slices to the same length. These speedups are basically irrelevant, since they only happen in real code if people are compiling with -tags math_big_pure_go. But at least the code is clearer. benchmark \ system c3h88 c2s16 s7 386 s7-386 c4as16 mac arm loong64 ppc64le riscv64 s390x AddVV/words=1/impl=go ~ +11.20% +5.11% -7.67% -7.77% +1.90% +10.76% -33.22% ~ +10.98% ~ +6.60% AddVV/words=10/impl=go -22.12% -13.48% -10.37% -17.95% -18.07% -24.58% -22.04% -29.95% -14.22% ~ -6.33% +3.66% AddVV/words=16/impl=go -9.75% -13.73% ~ -21.90% -18.66% -30.03% -20.45% -28.09% -17.33% -7.15% -8.96% +12.55% AddVV/words=100/impl=go -5.91% -1.02% ~ -29.23% -22.18% -25.62% -6.49% -23.59% -22.31% -1.88% -14.13% +9.23% AddVV/words=1000/impl=go -0.52% -0.19% -3.58% -33.89% -23.46% -22.46% ~ -24.00% -24.73% +0.93% -15.79% +12.32% AddVV/words=10000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ -33.79% -23.72% -23.79% -5.98% -23.92% ~ +0.78% -15.45% +8.59% AddVV/words=100000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ -33.90% -24.25% -22.82% -4.09% -24.63% ~ +1.00% -13.56% ~ SubVV/words=1/impl=go ~ +11.64% +14.05% ~ -4.07% ~ +10.79% -33.69% ~ ~ +3.89% +12.33% SubVV/words=10/impl=go -10.31% -14.09% -7.38% +13.76% -13.25% -18.05% -20.08% -24.97% -14.15% +10.13% -0.97% -2.51% SubVV/words=16/impl=go -8.06% -13.73% -5.70% +17.00% -12.83% -23.76% -17.52% -25.25% -17.30% -2.80% -4.96% -18.25% SubVV/words=100/impl=go -9.22% -1.30% -2.76% +20.88% -14.35% -15.29% -8.49% -19.64% -22.31% -0.68% -14.30% -9.04% SubVV/words=1000/impl=go -0.60% ~ -3.43% +23.08% -16.14% -11.96% ~ -28.52% -24.73% ~ -15.95% -9.91% SubVV/words=10000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ +26.01% -15.24% -11.92% ~ -28.26% +4.25% ~ -15.42% -5.95% SubVV/words=100000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ +25.71% -15.83% -12.13% ~ -27.88% -1.27% ~ -13.57% -6.72% LshVU/words=1/impl=go +0.56% +0.36% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ LshVU/words=10/impl=go +13.37% +4.63% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -2.90% ~ ~ ~ ~ LshVU/words=16/impl=go +22.83% +6.47% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +0.80% ~ ~ +5.88% LshVU/words=100/impl=go +7.56% +13.95% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +0.33% -2.50% ~ ~ LshVU/words=1000/impl=go +0.64% +17.92% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -6.52% ~ -2.58% ~ ~ LshVU/words=10000/impl=go ~ +17.60% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -6.64% -6.22% -1.40% ~ ~ LshVU/words=100000/impl=go ~ +14.57% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -5.47% ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=1/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +2.72% RshVU/words=10/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +2.50% ~ ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=16/impl=go ~ +0.53% ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +3.82% ~ ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=100/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +6.18% ~ ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=1000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +7.00% ~ ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=10000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ RshVU/words=100000/impl=go ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ +7.05% ~ ~ ~ ~ MulAddVWW/words=1/impl=go -10.34% +4.43% +10.62% -1.62% -4.74% -2.86% +11.75% ~ -8.00% +8.89% +3.87% ~ MulAddVWW/words=10/impl=go -1.61% -5.87% ~ -8.30% -4.55% +0.87% ~ -5.28% -20.82% ~ ~ -2.32% MulAddVWW/words=16/impl=go -2.96% -5.28% ~ -9.22% -5.28% ~ ~ -3.74% -19.52% -1.48% -2.53% -9.52% MulAddVWW/words=100/impl=go -3.89% -7.53% +1.93% -10.49% -4.87% -8.27% ~ ~ -0.65% -0.61% -7.59% -20.61% MulAddVWW/words=1000/impl=go -0.45% -3.91% +4.54% -11.46% -4.69% -8.53% ~ ~ -0.05% ~ -8.88% -19.77% MulAddVWW/words=10000/impl=go ~ -3.30% +4.10% -11.34% -4.10% -9.43% ~ -0.61% ~ -0.55% -8.21% -18.48% MulAddVWW/words=100000/impl=go -0.30% -3.03% +4.31% -11.55% -4.41% -9.74% ~ -0.75% +0.63% ~ -7.80% -19.82% AddMulVVWW/words=1/impl=go ~ +13.09% +12.50% -7.05% -10.41% +2.53% +13.32% -3.49% ~ +15.56% +3.62% ~ AddMulVVWW/words=10/impl=go -15.96% -9.06% -5.06% -14.56% -11.83% -5.44% -26.30% -14.23% -11.44% -1.79% -5.93% -6.60% AddMulVVWW/words=16/impl=go -19.05% -12.43% -6.19% -14.24% -12.67% -8.65% -18.64% -16.56% -10.64% -3.00% -7.61% -12.80% AddMulVVWW/words=100/impl=go -22.13% -16.59% -13.04% -13.79% -11.46% -12.01% -6.46% -21.80% -5.08% -3.13% -13.60% -22.53% AddMulVVWW/words=1000/impl=go -17.07% -17.05% -14.08% -13.59% -12.13% -11.21% ~ -22.81% -4.27% -1.27% -16.35% -23.47% AddMulVVWW/words=10000/impl=go -15.03% -16.78% -14.23% -13.86% -11.84% -11.69% ~ -22.75% -13.39% -1.10% -14.37% -22.01% AddMulVVWW/words=100000/impl=go -13.70% -14.90% -14.26% -13.55% -12.04% -11.63% ~ -22.61% ~ -2.53% -10.42% -23.16% Change-Id: Ic6f64344484a762b818c7090d1396afceb638607 Reviewed-on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/665155 Auto-Submit: Russ Cox <rsc@golang.org> LUCI-TryBot-Result: Go LUCI <golang-scoped@luci-project-accounts.iam.gserviceaccount.com> Reviewed-by: Alan Donovan <adonovan@google.com>
