    This follow-up to #21261 improves ProtectEvictionCandidatesByRatio() for better performance.

    Benchmarks are added; the performance improvement is between 2x and 5x for the benchmarked cases (CPU 2.50GHz, Turbo off, performance mode, Debian Clang 11 non-debug build).

    0$ ./src/bench/bench_bitcoin -filter="EvictionProtection*.*"

    The refactored code is well-covered by existing unit tests and also a fuzzer.

    • $ ./src/test/test_bitcoin -t net_peer_eviction_tests
    • $ FUZZ=node_eviction ./src/test/fuzz/fuzz ../qa-assets/fuzz_seed_corpus/node_eviction

    Added benchmarks. This pull speeds up ProtectEvictionCandidatesByRatio() between 2x and 6x for the benchmarked cases. It’s not a hotspot, but the improvement is significant.

    ACK ab2993336fbdff72d125f906c2baec4c5dcb79e3

    This is quite a performance improvement and is a clear change which is easy to follow. My benchmark tests confirm the performance improvement. Thanks for working on this improvement and for adding additional benchmark coverage.

    Ran benchmarks upon each intermediate commit to test performance improvement at every stage. Cherry-picked each commit on top of current master and ran unit tests which each commit cherry-picked.

    Notes on commits

    • 272f327fbfcb8bb61f8e1c9d65c665372cd60976
      • Definition of test is appropriate and effective in terms of benchmarking what we care about
    • 99a25fb393c791bb6b6edeab3677d39bf6b1d97d
      • the performance boost is from moving away from looping through each network and then interating through all eviction_candidates -> iterate through eviction_candidates once; for each candidate we iterate through add count to appropriate network
      • Still appropriately counts eviction candidates per network
      • Performance improvement at this stage is very modest compared to master+272f327fbfcb8bb61f8e1c9d65c665372cd60976
    • 06b898c3e126ff7f1a17d8d3a5f7c9e1aad0ea06
      • uses lambda expression in std::count_if to efficiently determine networks we have candidates from
      • PR description states that “… increase the number protected per peer iteration”, this would only come into play if there was a descrease in the number of networks to protect because we detected there were no candidates in that network. If you have to retouch, can you document this more clearly?
      • this and 99a25fb393c791bb6b6edeab3677d39bf6b1d97d make up the bulk of the performance improvement
    • 478534340e9b30f4e906da290e3b763dec6c945c
      • makes sense 🥃
    • ab2993336fbdff72d125f906c2baec4c5dcb79e3
      • Is an additional performance improvement

    I think nanobench is designed to make such loops unnecessary. It can provide stable results even if the test function is very fast/short, no need to loop 60k times.

    Also, the above benchmarks the copying of the data which could add noise to the test. Given that the input is not huge we can create a separate copy for each iteration of the test, this consumes a few tens of megabytes which is ok. Here is an example (that also uses the de-duplicated GetRandomNodeEvictionCandidates() from test/util/net.h):

    I tried this, and am playing with your proposal that looks good! but as before when I was trying to use these options, nanobench kept saying it was unstable and to increase the iterations, beyond even the numbers I settled on in my manual loops that yielded slowish but stableish results for me.

    0:wavy_dash: ... (Unstable with ~1,000.0 iters. Increase `minEpochIterations` to e.g. 10000)
1:wavy_dash: ... (Unstable with ~1,000.0 iters. Increase `minEpochIterations` to e.g. 10000)

    So I’m still looking at this and may punt on using the options.

    Yes, I benched the data copying alone, and it seemed insignificant relative to the call under test, not worth messing with by making (potentially many, e.g. 100k) copies instead. That could be ok if we don’t need so many copies, so I understand why you proposed reducing the number of iters.

    vasild commented at 4:18 pm on July 1, 2021:

    Here are some numbers:

    • sizeof(NodeEvictionCandidate) is 64
    • number of candidates is 250
    • the current test contains 60k iterations

    So that would make 64 * 250 * 60000 = 916 MiB.

    In the changes above I suggested 10 epochs * 100 iterations (1000 copies): 64 * 250 * 1000 = 15 MiB.

    so I understand why you proposed reducing the number of iters

    Yes, I was concerned about the memory usage, but also I stopped getting the “unstable results” warning at around 500 iters so I decided to double it to 1000 just in case, since 15 MiB is not too much. I guess a few times more than that would also be ok.

    vasild commented at 12:18 pm on July 5, 2021:

    Two random thoughts:

    1. Do you get “unstable results” warnings when running other benchmarks from src/bench?
    2. Nanobench’s warmup() may help?
    jonatack commented at 3:37 pm on July 6, 2021:

    I’ve tuned my system for benchmarking, and nevertheless, any iterations less than in my original proposal still return bench error rates above 5%, often 10-25%, rendering the benchmark somewhat useless for me.

    I’m going to consider that my system (2 physical cores, 4 logical ones, with an open source coreboot) is unusual and unsuited to running these benchmarks and use this feedback provided that reviewers find the results stable for them.

    99a25fb393 p2p: iterate over eviction candidates once instead of thrice

    I did not observe any difference in performance due to this commit.

    It changes the complexity from O(num networks * num candidates) to O(num candidates * num networks). The early break optimization maybe makes it O(num candidates * num networks * 0.5) on average, but that is equal to O(num candidates * num networks).

    Just to experiment I made this O(num candidates) which is as fast as it could be (unfortunately a bit hackish due to the hardcoded indexes):

    06b898c3e1 p2p: iterate eviction protection only on networks having candidates

    Looking at this commit - there is no need to re-calculate num_networks inside the loop because networks is not changed in the loop. It can be calculated just once before the loop:

    0auto num_networks = std::count_if(networks.begin(), networks.end(), [](const Net& n) { return n.count; });
1if (networks > 0) {
2    while (num_protected < max_protect_by_network) {
3        ...

    I did not observe any performance change due to this commit.

    But considering the subsequent ab2993336f p2p: earlier continuation when no remaining eviction candidates (this one brings pefromance boost!) it should be inside the loop because then we change networks[].count in the loop. Maybe squash both commits into one?

    Thanks for testing @klementtan!

    Didn’t notice any significant improvement with c0d658f

    Thanks for pointing this out. The benchmarks don’t test it. Will look at adding a bench with no protected networks.

    Didn’t notice any significant improvement with edc59d0

    This commit doesn’t help performance but fixes an off-by-one in the logic that doesn’t affect the protection currently, but without it, the last commit would fail the node_eviction fuzzer by trying to save (1 - 2) = -1 into Net::count, which is size_t (unsigned long). The CI initially reported this, but I can no longer reproduce it locally (thanks @vasild for testing this) and have dropped the commit.

    Not sure if it is intended but the warning message :wavy_dash: EvictionProtection3Networks100Candidates (Unstable with ~100.0 iters. Increase minEpochIterations to e.g. 1000) seems to be quite flaky

    Thanks for reporting. The benchmark was sped up in the last push, but am looking at maybe increasing the iterations to improve this.

    Updated per git diff 524aa5d b1d905c

    • adjusted the benchmarks to use the default Epochs of 11, increased the epochIterations from 100 to 1000, and added a warmup of 100; I didn’t find a magic sweet spot (I have to run it several times) but this seems to improve the err% somewhat while keeping the benchmark fast
    • added two benchmarks, EvictionProtection0Networks250Candidates and EvictionProtection2Networks250Candidates
    • dropped commit https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/edc59d08fc57f5f10657a044224a0b3ae2d2b9bc “p2p: don’t protect more than the network candidates count”

    It looks like the performance gains of 2x-5x will be even higher when additional disadvantaged networks are added.

Thank you to Vasil Dimov, whose suggestions during a post-merge

earlier versions of the PR, e.g. commits like ef411cd2.

  26. p2p: earlier continuation when no remaining eviction candidates 
    in ProtectEvictionCandidatesByRatio().

With this change, `if (n.count == 0) continue;` will be true
if a network had candidates protected in the first iterations
and has no candidates remaining to be protected in later iterations.

    The way this has progressed since my last review makes sense. This is still a performance and improvement and code looks good.

    I do still run into instability:

    0Unstable with ~1,001.0 iters. Increase `minEpochIterations` to e.g. 10010

    Not sure what to make of it because I’m running the macOS 12 Beta (not a super stable system overall). Just wanted to document that I am running into that, I will have time later today to try on other systems. If no one else is running into it, let’s assume it’s my system.

    The warning is flaky though, here’s the results of my runs where I didn’t run into the warning:

    Yes, I tuned my system and yet still see that most of the time on at least half of the benchmarks when running all of them with ./src/bench/bench_bitcoin. It came down to the preference of being able to run these new benchmarks 10 times in ~20 seconds rather than once in 30-60 seconds, and having a rapid result that works for the most people. There just seems to be decreasing utility in adding iterations.
