similar to: Aliasing of pointers from different address spaces

Hi, Elena, You're correct. We do assume that pointers in different address spaces can alias. Targets can add their own AA pass into the AA query chain, and one of the things such analysis passes can do account for target-specific knowledge of address-space semantics. For example, see lib/Target/AMDGPU/AMDGPUAliasAnalysis.cpp  -Hal On 04/26/2018 07:56 AM, Demikhovsky, Elena via llvm-dev

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

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.

That makes great sense. It would be great if we have profitability mode to see the necessity to use gathers. Or it also would be good if there is a compiler option for the users to enable LLVM to generate the gather instructions no matter it is faster or slow.

Many oveloaded intrinsics may be replaced with instructions - fabs or fma or sqrt. Chandler will probably explain the criteria. What the diff between fma and fadd? Or fptrunc and fabs? A new instruction like %a = loadm <4 x i32>* %addr, <4 x i32> %passthru, i32 4, <4 x i1>%mask is possible, but may be not very useful for most of targets. So we start from intrinsics. -

No. Gather operation is slow on AVX2 processors. - Elena From: zhi chen [mailto:zchenhn at gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 20:48 To: Sanjay Patel <spatel at rotateright.com> Cc: Demikhovsky, Elena <elena.demikhovsky at intel.com>; Nema, Ashutosh <Ashutosh.Nema at amd.com>; llvm-dev <llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> Subject: Re: [llvm-dev] how to force

<Copied Cong> Thanks Elena. Mostly I was interested in why such a high cost 30 kept for TRUNCATE v16i32 to v16i8 in SSE41. Looking at the code it appears like TRUNCATE v16i32 to v16i8 in SSE41 is very expensive vs SSE2. I feel this number should be same/close to the cost mentioned for same operation in SSE2ConversionTbl. Below patch from Cong Hou reduce cost for same operation in SSE2

To the best of my experience, handling case B (secondary induction) is must-have, and if I’m not mistaken, people aren’t opposed to that. For me, handling case A (primary induction) is “why not?”, but I certainly admit that that can be very naïve thinking coming from lack of good understanding on SCEV and their proper usages. Now, let’s assume we can postpone discussion about case A. What is the

Hi, We would like to add support for masked vector loads and stores by introducing new target-independent intrinsics. The loop vectorizer will then be enhanced to optimize loops containing conditional memory accesses by generating these intrinsics for existing targets such as AVX2 and AVX-512. The vectorizer will first ask the target about availability of masked vector loads and stores. The SLP
