similar to: [LLVMdev] AVX - Work is Progressing

I'd like to start moving some of our AVX work into trunk. We've got quite a bit of it implemented already. I wanted to make sure we got something that would work and remain relatively stable. Here's how I'd like to do this. First, I have some more TableGen fixes and enhancements that are prereqs for AVX templates. I'd like to get those in first. Then there are a number of

This is the first in a series of patches to move around some X86 .td file contents in preparation for starting to add AVX patterns. This is stuff that will be shared by SSE, MMX and AVX patterns. Eventually, they will all converge under one framework but in the meantime we need to do some code sharing so I want to move the common stuff into a single file. Assuming this patch looks ok, I'll

I'm working on some of the AVX insert/extract instructions. They're stupid. They do not operate on ymm registers, meaning we have to use VINSERTF128/VEXTRACTF128 and then do the real operation. Anyway, I'm looking at how INSERTPS and friends work and noticed that there are special SelectionDAG nodes for them and corresponding TableGen dag operators (X86insrtps, for example).

Hi, The last time the AVX backend was mentioned on this list seems to be from November 2010, so I would like to ask about the current status. Is anybody (e.g. at Cray?) still actively working on it? I have tried both LLVM 2.9 final and the latest trunk, and it seems like some trivial stuff is already working and produces nice code for code using <8 x float>. Unfortunately, the backend

Attached is a patch to implement an !eq() operator in TableGen. We use this for the AVX specification to allow the user to control what kind of pattern should be used for a particular instruction def. For example, we use it for reg-mem instructions to let the user choose between a built-in generic reg-mem pattern, the same pattern that was used for the reg-reg variant of the instruction or a

If my evil plan works out, within the next 10 or so patches we should be in a place where pushing everything up goes pretty quickly. It's about 8 TableGen patches and then a

Ok, so I've been chugging away at AVX and added some new features in TableGen to facilitate writing generic patterns. Here's an example: //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// // Dummy defs for writing generic patterns //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// def SRCREGCLASS; def DSTREGCLASS; def MEMCLASS;
