search for: writemasking

Each register is a 4-component (namely, r, g, b, a) vector register. They are actually defined as llvm packed [4xfloat]. The instruction: add_sat r0.a, r1_bias.xxyy, r3_x2.zzzz Explaination: '.a' is a writemask. only the specified component will be update '.xxyy' and '.zzzz' are swizzle masks, specify the component permutation, simliar to the Intel SSE permutation

Actually the problems that Tzu-Chien Chiu are encountering are similar to what should be done for generating SSE code in the X86 backend and also other SIMD instruction sets. I think LLVM neeeds to add instructions for permuting components, extracting and injecting elements in packed types. If the architecture has instructions which can do permutations for each instruction (for example

Hello, everyone: I am writing a compiler for a programmable graphics hardware. Each registers of the hardware has four channels, namely 'r', 'b', 'g', 'a', and each channel is a 32-bit floating point. It's similar to the high and low 8-bit of an x86 16-bit general purpose register "AX" can be individually referenced as "AH" and

It seems to me that LLVM sub-register is not for the following hardware architecture. All instructions of a hardware are vector instructions. All registers contains 4 32-bit FP sub-registers. They are called r0.x, r0.y, r0.z, r0.w. Most instructions write more than one elements in this way: mul r0.xyw, r1, r2 add r0.z, r3, r4 sub r5, r0, r1 Notice that the four elements of r0 are written

Hi Christian, Ryan just reported to me that llvm-3.4 is no longer building on OS X Leopard (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41548). It seems the issue is with a commit that you made back in April (referenced below) which added this to SIISelLowering.cpp: // Adjust the writemask in the node std::vector<SDValue> Ops; Ops.push_back(DAG.getTargetConstant(NewDmask, MVT::i32)); for

Can't you just use &Ops[0] ?

Dear all: To write a compiler for Microsoft Direct3D shaders from our hardware, I have a program which translates the Direct3D shader assembly to LLVM assembly. I added several intrinsics for this purpose. It's a vector ISA and has some special instructions like: * rcp (reciprocal) * frc (the fractional portion of each input component) * dp4 (dot product) * exp (exponential) * max, min These

Hello. Sorry I am not sure this question should go to llvm or mesa3d-dev mailing list, so I post it to both. I am writing a llvm backend for a modern graphics processor which has a ISA very similar to that of Direct 3D. I am reading the code in Gallium-3D driver in a mesa3d branch, which converts the shader programs (TGSI tokens) to LLVM IR. For the shader instruction also found in LLVM IR,

Hey, as some of you may know we're in process of experimenting with LLVM in Gallium3D (Mesa's new driver model), where LLVM would be used both in the software only (by just JIT executing shaders) and hardware (drivers will implement LLVM code-generators) cases. While the software only case is pretty straight forward I just realized I missed something in my initial evaluation. That

We're going to try to reorder the scalar ops of a vector instr to accomodate swizzles that would otherwise require us to emit to an additional TEMP first (like MOV R0.xy, R0.zx). --- src/gallium/drivers/nv50/nv50_program.c | 148 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/gallium/drivers/nv50/nv50_program.c
