[llvm-dev] Per-write cycle count with ReadAdvance - Do I really need that?
Thanks Andrew. I have tried with recent tblgen, ReadAdvance would not work for multiple latencies. Maybe I should make improvement into tblgen if Pierre-Andre does not have the change anymore. However, I just a little curious about the situation I met. The hardware forwording may fail for different reasons, which different register read may have different latencies, depending both on the register reader and writer. I am freshman into tblgen. So I wonder if any other Target already has other way to describe that .

The hardware forwording may fail for different reasons, which different register read may have different latencies, depending both on the register reader and writer. I am freshman into tblgen. So I wonder if any other Target already has other way to describe that .Does this work for you? // Forward from a vector op (normal, add, mul) to a non-store. def : ReadAdvance<MyReadVector, 5, [WriteVector]>; def : ReadAdvance<MyReadVector, 3, [MyWriteAddVector]>; def : ReadAdvance<MyReadVector, 1, [MyWriteMulVector]>; A ReadAdvance is associated with a pair of write resource -> read resource. You can specify as many variants of read/write resources as you want, even using arbitrary C++ code inside a predicate. So, in theory I think that should be flexible enough. You can search the in-tree targets to see where ReadAdvance definitions are used. Sorry, I’m not familiar with anything beyond that, but maybe someone else on the list has dealt with the same problem. -Andy> On Fri, Nov 16, 2018, 8:00 AM Andrew Trick <atrick at apple.com <mailto:atrick at apple.com> wrote: > > >> On Nov 14, 2018, at 10:52 PM, Garfee Guan via llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org <mailto:llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org>> wrote: >> >> Hi list, >> >> I happened to read below thread (written in 3 years ago).

[llvm-dev] Per-write cycle count with ReadAdvance - Do I really need that?
It does not work. I have tried to use the latest master today. But tblgen still give me information like error: Resources are defined for both SchedRead and its alias on processor MyArchModel def : ReadAdvance<MyReadVector, 3, [MyWriteAddVector]>; ^ Unless I change "MyReadVector" to another read like "MyReadVector1", it would not work. Debugging into tblgen, there is no path to handle multiplle latencies for same Read... Anyway as you reminded, I am searching for more Target and am looking into Pierre's change (I finally notice that he has a patch associated within the thread already :-) If it is feasible, I will try to make any suitable change back upstream) -Garfee On Sat, Nov 17, 2018, 10:42 AM Andrew Trick <atrick at apple.com wrote:> > > On Nov 16, 2018, at 6:31 PM, Garfee Guan <garfee.guan at gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks Andrew.
