...ant thing proposed in the project is that we plan to perform efficient realignment for this Connex vector processor. I looked a bit in LLVM and I see that support for realignment of misaligned vector memory accesses is not implemented in the LoopVectorize pass (see lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoadStoreVectorizer.cpp) nor in any back end (folder lib/Target). Please correct me if I'm wrong. But realignment is an interesting technique useful for many SIMD and (wide) vector processors - there are still SIMD processors today that either have performance issues or simply can't perform misalig...

Hello, I am applying for Google Summer of Code with a project related to LLVM and Connex SIMD processor and I would appreciate some feedback on the proposal. The proposal can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pBRbW8pU9GV8zWCJQrILhynNEBpGXJKtev1j7ekXfqs/edit?usp=sharing Thank you, Andrei Popa

Hello, I'm playing around with vectorization in LLVM 6.0.0, and I noticed that when creating a vector load out of a scalar load, the alignment for the vector load is defined to be the one of the scalar load. For instance, 16-bit vectors get aligned on 2 bytes. This does not correspond to the preferred alignment for vectors that I specified in the data layout (which is bigger). Inspecting

We already have a pass that vectorizes loads and stores in nvptx and amdgpu. Not at my laptop, I forget the exact filename, but it's called load-store vectorizer. I think the question is, why is LSV not vectorizing this code? I think the answer is, llvm can't tell that the loads are aligned. Ptxas can, but only because it's (apparently) doing vectorization *after* it reesolves the
