Provide Example of Generating min_latency, max_latency, etc

[samuelmanzer]

Hello,

I was very excited to discover the Exegesis repo and am eager to try it out. I have followed the instructions given in the root README.md file, but I noticed that the resulting output file /tmp/intel_isa.pbtxt does not include any of the latency related fields given in this .proto file (such as min_latency, max_latency, etc):

https://github.com/google/EXEgesis/blob/master/exegesis/proto/instructions.proto

If anyone could kindly provide an example command that populates these fields, I would sincerely appreciate it.

I apologize for posting this as an issue when it might be more appropriate for the @googlegroups list, but my email to that list bounced.

The tool that computes this information is:
https://github.com/google/EXEgesis/blob/master/exegesis/tools/compute_itineraries.cc

That being said, we have open-sourced a better tool as part of LLVM: llvm-exegesis. Further development will happen there.

It might be a good idea to put a link to the new LLVM tool in README, so that people are aware of the status of this repo.

Actually, we used to fill these fields by parsing the Intel Optimization Reference Manual, but this code was never open-sourced, and we've decided to retire it in favor of llvm-exegesis and @legrosbuffle mentioned.

We've removed these fields completely a recent update.
