DescriptionRe-enable pre-read experiment as a finch field trial.
This CL revives an expired pre-read experiment as a Finch field trial. About 2 months ago the expired experiment, and its fallback behaviour, were removed and there was a subsequent performance regression.

PTAL @asvitkine, are there naming conventions for the trial and group names that i'm violating?

I want to hold on doing this until Roger's other pre-read CL lands and I can merge into m30. I want the data from that to figure out if indeed an experiment is warranted.

It won't tell us if that performance level is optimal. We have some (now outdated) experimental results which suggest it isn't. Reviving the experiment is the right way to answer the question for current chromen.
Another look? https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/1/chrome/app/client_util.cc File chrome/app/client_util.cc (right): https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/1/chrome/app/client_util.cc#new... chrome/app/client_util.cc:78: // If this user isn't reporting metrics, use the default pre-read leve.

Fair enough. I copied this "opt-out" logic from the original experiment. Is it a reasonable concern that metrics_id might be empty? If so, should I be using something else as the random data source? https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/1/chrome/app/client_util.cc#new... chrome/app/client_util.cc:90: reinterpret_cast<const unsigned char*>(metrics_id.c_str()), On 2013/08/28 17:30:50, Alexei Svitkine wrote: > Do the results need to be persistent? > > i.e. does the fact that my last startup was done via pre-read cause a problem if > my next startup isn't or vice versa? > > If they're independent, I suggest just tossing a coin rather than hashing a > persistent value to determine if the user should be in the trial.

The OS pre-fetcher is learning the access patterns of the binary; so, from run to run, the pre-read should be consistent, as this will be a factor affecting the times being meassured. https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/1/chrome/browser/chrome_browser...

The overall approach looks good to me, but I'm not a Finch expert so I won't comment on the experiment design.

Hmm, it is unfortunate that you need this to be persistent. Normally, this is done by using the "low entropy source" value, but I don't think it's available here, since unlike client id (aka GetMetricsId()) we don't also mirror it in registry - it's only in local state. Since we're not getting UMA metrics for non-UMA users (that don't have a metrics id), we could either make it so the dice roll is _not_ persistent for those users (since we won't look at their stats), or we can go back to the previous approach of only giving the experiment to UMA users. Neither is particularly great - what are your thoughts on dice-rolling non-UMA users to a different group every time? Will that potentially give them a poor user experience due to bad Windows preread caching behaviour or will it mostly be okay? What do you think? (The other alternative is to expose the low entropy source in the registry, but that seems like a big change just for this.) https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/8001/chrome/app/client_util.cc#... chrome/app/client_util.cc:83: const uint64* group_bits = population_bits + 1; I think it would be slightly clearer to keep a single ptr var and just index it at 0 and at 1 below. i.e. const uint64* random_bits = reinterpret_cast<uint64*>(&sha1_hash[0]); *population = base::BitsToOpenEndedUnitInterval(random_bits[0]); *group = base::BitsToOpenEndedUnitInterval(random_bits[1]); https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/8001/chrome/app/client_util.cc#... chrome/app/client_util.cc:120: ((channel == installer::kChromeChannelBeta || Instead of checking for the other channels explicitly, just check != stable - so that e.g. canary is also affected (this way, if it causes problems in canary, you'll catch it early).

Per your suggestion: if I don't have the metrics id, I've added a bit of code to the dice each time. @cpu: how much do you think this will confuse the prefetcher?

I need a bit more background here. Once we select to be in a given percentage, how do we persist the value? or we don't? I see how we pass the value from exe to chrome.dll that part seems fine.

The default isn't no-preread, it's full pre-read. the experiment is to find a hypothesized less-than-full pre-read value that's better than 100% https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/37001/chrome/browser/chrome_bro... chrome/browser/chrome_browser_field_trials_desktop.cc:143: "BrowserPreReadExperiment", 100, "100%-Default", On 2013/09/03 14:59:16, Alexei Svitkine wrote: > We generally discourage special characters in the field trial names and group > names. > > I'm not sure if % specifically will cause any issues, but to be safe, I'd use > something else, like the word "percent" or "pct".

LGTM Please test this locally to ensure the field trial propagation works as expected. You can do that by visiting chrome://version in your local instance and seeing if your field trial shows up there. (If it's a release build, you'll see hashes there which you can paste into go/finch-hashes to get the names - otherwise you'll see the actual names.) https://codereview.chromium.org/23534009/diff/45001/chrome/browser/chrome_bro...

My bad, as a pre-experiment, I reverted the value to a constant (100) from (ver > XP ? 25 : 0) and didn't update the comment appropriately. We've seen differing data points between experiments in the lab and histograms in the wild. In the lab, pre-read on XP seems to always be a net loss. Histograms from previous experiments (as well as what happened when we turned pre-read off recently) is that in aggregate we get worse performance with it off. That's a part of the motivation for this experiment being run again.
