I have the following templated function:
template<int dim> void advecu(double * restrict ut, double * restrict u, double * restrict v, double * restrict w, double * restrict dzi4) { // Here comes the initialization of the constants... // Loop for(int k=grid->kstart; k<grid->kend; k++) for(int j=grid->jstart; j<grid->jend; j++) #pragma ivdep for(int i=grid->istart; i<grid->iend; i++) { ijk = i + j*jj1 + k*kk1; ut[ijk] -= ( cg0*((ci0*u[ijk-ii3] + ci1*u[ijk-ii2] + ci2*u[ijk-ii1] + ci3*u[ijk ]) * (ci0*u[ijk-ii3] + ci1*u[ijk-ii2] + ci2*u[ijk-ii1] + ci3*u[ijk ])) + cg1*((ci0*u[ijk-ii2] + ci1*u[ijk-ii1] + ci2*u[ijk ] + ci3*u[ijk+ii1]) * (ci0*u[ijk-ii2] + ci1*u[ijk-ii1] + ci2*u[ijk ] + ci3*u[ijk+ii1])) + cg2*((ci0*u[ijk-ii1] + ci1*u[ijk ] + ci2*u[ijk+ii1] + ci3*u[ijk+ii2]) * (ci0*u[ijk-ii1] + ci1*u[ijk ] + ci2*u[ijk+ii1] + ci3*u[ijk+ii2])) + cg3*((ci0*u[ijk ] + ci1*u[ijk+ii1] + ci2*u[ijk+ii2] + ci3*u[ijk+ii3]) * (ci0*u[ijk ] + ci1*u[ijk+ii1] + ci2*u[ijk+ii2] + ci3*u[ijk+ii3])) ) * cgi*dxi; if(dim == 3) { ut[ijk] -= ( cg0*((ci0*v[ijk-ii2-jj1] + ci1*v[ijk-ii1-jj1] + ci2*v[ijk-jj1] + ci3*v[ijk+ii1-jj1]) * (ci0*u[ijk-jj3] + ci1*u[ijk-jj2] + ci2*u[ijk-jj1] + ci3*u[ijk ])) + cg1*((ci0*v[ijk-ii2 ] + ci1*v[ijk-ii1 ] + ci2*v[ijk ] + ci3*v[ijk+ii1 ]) * (ci0*u[ijk-jj2] + ci1*u[ijk-jj1] + ci2*u[ijk ] + ci3*u[ijk+jj1])) + cg2*((ci0*v[ijk-ii2+jj1] + ci1*v[ijk-ii1+jj1] + ci2*v[ijk+jj1] + ci3*v[ijk+ii1+jj1]) * (ci0*u[ijk-jj1] + ci1*u[ijk ] + ci2*u[ijk+jj1] + ci3*u[ijk+jj2])) + cg3*((ci0*v[ijk-ii2+jj2] + ci1*v[ijk-ii1+jj2] + ci2*v[ijk+jj2] + ci3*v[ijk+ii1+jj2]) * (ci0*u[ijk ] + ci1*u[ijk+jj1] + ci2*u[ijk+jj2] + ci3*u[ijk+jj3])) ) * cgi*dyi; } ut[ijk] -= ( cg0*((ci0*w[ijk-ii2-kk1] + ci1*w[ijk-ii1-kk1] + ci2*w[ijk-kk1] + ci3*w[ijk+ii1-kk1]) * (ci0*u[ijk-kk3] + ci1*u[ijk-kk2] + ci2*u[ijk-kk1] + ci3*u[ijk ])) + cg1*((ci0*w[ijk-ii2 ] + ci1*w[ijk-ii1 ] + ci2*w[ijk ] + ci3*w[ijk+ii1 ]) * (ci0*u[ijk-kk2] + ci1*u[ijk-kk1] + ci2*u[ijk ] + ci3*u[ijk+kk1])) + cg2*((ci0*w[ijk-ii2+kk1] + ci1*w[ijk-ii1+kk1] + ci2*w[ijk+kk1] + ci3*w[ijk+ii1+kk1]) * (ci0*u[ijk-kk1] + ci1*u[ijk ] + ci2*u[ijk+kk1] + ci3*u[ijk+kk2])) + cg3*((ci0*w[ijk-ii2+kk2] + ci1*w[ijk-ii1+kk2] + ci2*w[ijk+kk2] + ci3*w[ijk+ii1+kk2]) * (ci0*u[ijk ] + ci1*u[ijk+kk1] + ci2*u[ijk+kk2] + ci3*u[ijk+kk3])) ) * dzi4[k]; } }
In case variable dim equals 3, this function is almost 50 per cent slower than the old version, which did not contain templates. Why do templates make this function so slow? I expected to get identical results as after parsing of the template, my old and new version are identical.
