提高将字节转换为 UInt32 的性能

Question

我正在处理处理 2GB 数据的源代码，这些数据代表 60 秒的网络流量。总处理时间约为 40 秒。我正在尝试尽可能优化我的代码以获得最佳性能，以尝试将总处理时间降低到 30 秒以下。

我目前在 dotTrace 中的分析表明，在我的代码发出的 330 万次调用中，有 7.62% 的时间花在了 Timestamp 结构的构造函数中。

具体来说，我正在努力改进两个陈述：

TimestampHigh = BitConverter.ToUInt32(timestampBytes, 0);
TimestampLow = BitConverter.ToUInt32(timestampBytes, 4);

这是完整的结构：

public readonly struct Timestamp
{
    public uint TimestampHigh { get; }
    public uint TimestampLow { get; }
    public uint Seconds { get; }
    public uint Microseconds { get; }
    public DateTime LocalTime => new DateTime(EpochTicks + _ticks, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime();

    private const ulong MicrosecondsPerSecond = 1000000UL;
    private const ulong HighFactor = 4294967296UL;
    private readonly ulong _timestamp;

    private const long EpochTicks = 621355968000000000L;
    private const long TicksPerMicrosecond = 10L;
    private readonly long _ticks;

    public Timestamp(byte[] timestampBytes, bool reverseByteOrder)
    {
        if (timestampBytes == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException($"{nameof(timestampBytes)} cannot be null.");
        if (timestampBytes.Length != 8)
            throw new ArgumentException($"{nameof(timestampBytes)} must have a length of 8.");

        TimestampHigh = BitConverter.ToUInt32(timestampBytes, 0).ReverseByteOrder(reverseByteOrder);
        TimestampLow = BitConverter.ToUInt32(timestampBytes, 4).ReverseByteOrder(reverseByteOrder);
        _timestamp = ((ulong)TimestampHigh * HighFactor) + (ulong)TimestampLow;
        _ticks = (long)_timestamp * TicksPerMicrosecond;
        Seconds = (uint)(_timestamp / MicrosecondsPerSecond);
        Microseconds = (uint)(_timestamp % MicrosecondsPerSecond);
    }

    public Timestamp(uint seconds, uint microseconds)
    {
        Seconds = seconds;
        Microseconds = microseconds;
        _timestamp = seconds * MicrosecondsPerSecond + microseconds;
        _ticks = (long)_timestamp * TicksPerMicrosecond;
        TimestampHigh = (uint)(_timestamp / HighFactor);
        TimestampLow = (uint)(_timestamp % HighFactor);
    }

    public byte[] ConvertToBytes(bool reverseByteOrder)
    {
        List<byte> bytes = new List<byte>();
        bytes.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(TimestampHigh.ReverseByteOrder(reverseByteOrder)));
        bytes.AddRange(BitConverter.GetBytes(TimestampLow.ReverseByteOrder(reverseByteOrder)));

        return bytes.ToArray();
    }

    public bool Equals(Timestamp other)
    {
        return TimestampLow == other.TimestampLow && TimestampHigh == other.TimestampHigh;
    }

    public static bool operator ==(Timestamp left, Timestamp right)
    {
        return left.Equals(right);
    }

    public static bool operator !=(Timestamp left, Timestamp right)
    {
        return !left.Equals(right);
    }

    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        return obj is Timestamp other && Equals(other);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        return _timestamp.GetHashCode();
    }
}

ReverseByteOrder 方法似乎不会造成太大的性能损失，因为根据 dotTrace，它只占不到 0.5% 的时间，但此处仅供参考：

public static UInt32 ReverseByteOrder(this UInt32 value, bool reverseByteOrder)
{
    if (!reverseByteOrder)
    {
        return value;
    }
    else
    {
        byte[] bytes = BitConverter.GetBytes(value);
        Array.Reverse(bytes);
        return BitConverter.ToUInt32(bytes, 0);
    }
}

看起来您正在做很多工作来对抗字节序。BitConverter老实说，这就是它的脸。好消息是，在现代运行时我们有BinaryPrimitives，它具有字节序感知操作，然后经过 JIT 优化。意思是：它是通过检查 CPU 字节序编写的，但在 JIT 期间该检查被删除，只保留与 CPU 相关的代码。所以：避免BitConverter。这确实需要对您的代码进行一些修改，因为reverseByteOrder不再是input，但请考虑：

（注意：您可以将 abyte[]作为Span<byte>/传入ReadOnlySpan<byte>- 它是隐式的）

public Timestamp(ReadOnlySpan<byte> timestampBytes)
{
    static void ThrowInvalidLength() // can help inlining in some useful cases
            => throw new ArgumentException($"{nameof(timestampBytes)} must have a length of 8.");
    if (timestampBytes.Length != 8) ThrowInvalidLength();

     TimestampHigh = BinaryPrimitives.ReadUInt32BigEndian(timestampBytes);
     TimestampLow = BinaryPrimitives.ReadUInt32BigEndian(timestampBytes.Slice(4));
    // ...
}

和

public void ConvertToBytes(Span<byte> destination)
{
    BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32BigEndian(destination, TimestampHigh);
    BinaryPrimitives.WriteUInt32BigEndian(destination.Slice(4), TimestampLow);
}
