[llvm-dev] how to force llvm generate gather intrinsic
It seems that http://reviews.llvm.org/D15690 only implemented gather/scatter for AVX-512, but not for AVX/AVX2. Is there any plan to enable gather for AVX/2? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for the answers. My immediate motivation is to improve the masked load/store ops for an AVX target. If we can fix scatter/gather similarly, that would be great. Can we legalize the same set of masked load/store operations for AVX1 as AVX2? If I'm understanding them correctly, the AVX1 FP instructions (vmaskmovps/pd) can be used in place of the AVX2 int instructions (vpmaskmovd/q), just with domain crossing penalties thrown in. I think we do this for other missing integer ops for an AVX1 target either in x86 lowering or in the tablegen patterns. Elena - I'm not too familiar with the vectorizers or scatter/gather, but I'll certainly take a look at D15690.

[llvm-dev] how to force llvm generate gather intrinsic
If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying that vgather* is slow on all of Excavator, Haswell, Broadwell, and Skylake (client). Therefore, we will not generate it for any of those machines. Even if that's true, we should not define "gatherIsSlow()" as "hasAVX2() && !hasAVX512()". It could break for some hypothetical future processor that manages to implement it properly. The AVX2 spec includes gather; whether it's slow or fast is an implementation detail. We need a feature bit / cost model entry somewhere to signify this, so we're not overloading the meaning of the architectural features with that implementation detail.
