similar to: vectorization for X86

My question is: How do I make clang to generate assembly with vector instruction for my target? The back story is: I've added a few vector instructions to my target and confirmed that they are used by running my code on the test below and using a following command: opt i.esencia.ll -S -march=esencia -mcpu=esencia -loop-vectorize | llc -mcpu=esencia -o i.esencia.s target datalayout =

Can someone explain what exactly a clang triple is (--triple option) and what is the connection between triple and a target? I know there is an article ( http://clang.llvm.org/docs/CrossCompilation.html) that show how to cross compile code, but I'm not clear about is why I need to specify triple, why I can't just say compile for a given target? Any help is appreciated. -- Rail

Hello - I found this post on the llvm blog: http://blog.llvm.org/2012/12/new-loop-vectorizer.html which makes me think that clang / llvm are capable of generating AVX with packed instructions as well as utilizing the full width of the YMM registers… I have an environment where icc generates these instructions (vmulps %ymm1, %ymm3, %ymm2 for example) but I can not get clang/llvm to generate such

My target has an instruction that adds up all elements in the vector and stores the result in a register. I'm trying to implement it in my compiler but I'm not sure even where to start. I did look at other targets, but they don't seem to have anything like it ( I could be wrong. My experience with LLVM is limited, so if I missed it, I'd appreciate if someone could point it out ).

Hi Rail, Below 2 revisions might be of your interest which Detect SAD patterns and emit psadbw instructions on X86.: http://reviews.llvm.org/D14840 http://reviews.llvm.org/D14897 Intrinsics related to absdiff revisons : http://reviews.llvm.org/D10867 http://reviews.llvm.org/D11678 Hope this helps.

I'm trying to enable/disable a target feature through clang. Here is how my target looks like // Esencia subtarget features //===----------------------------------------------------------------------===// def FeatureMul : SubtargetFeature<"mul", "HasMul", "true", "Enable hardware multiplier">; def FeatureDiv

> why in order to add this particular instruction (sum elements in a vector) I need to add an insrinsic? Adding intrinsic is not the only way, it is one of the way and user WILL-NOT be required to invoke It specifically. Currently LLVM does not have any instruction to directly represent “sum of elements in a vector” and generate your particular instruction.However, you can do it without

Is there a way to enable/disable target features through clang? I found this, https://github.com/avr-llvm/llvm/issues/9, but this seems to be talking about llc -mattr=+feature1,-feature2... Is there something equivalent for clang? -- Rail Shafigulin Software Engineer Esencia Technologies -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

This would be really cool. We have several instructions that perform horizontal vector operations, and have to use built-ins to select them as there is no easy way of expressing them in a TD file. Some like SUM for a ‘v4i32’ are easy enough to express with a pattern fragment, SUM ‘v8i16’ takes TableGen a long time to compute, but SUM ‘v16i8’ resulted in TableGen disappearing into itself for

I've created an intrinsic from my target, but I can't figure out how I can run it from a C code. Most of the targets have a GCCBuiltin and it looks like it is the way to execute an intrinsic from C code. However in my case there is no actual GCC built in. Any help on this is really appreciated. -- Rail Shafigulin Software Engineer Esencia Technologies -------------- next part

Hi Shahid. Do you mind providing a concrete example of X86 code where an intrinsic was added (preferrable with filenames and line numbers)? I'm having difficulty tracking down the steps you provided.

Hi Rail, We used a very simple pattern expansion (actually, not a pattern fragment). For example, for AND, ADD (horizontal sum), OR and XOR of 4 elements we use something like the following TableGen structure: class HORIZ_Op4<SDNode opc, RegisterClass regVT, ValueType rt, ValueType vt, string asmstr> : SHAVE_Instr<(outs regVT:$dst), (ins VRF128:$src),

I'm starting to think we should directly implement horizontal operations on vector types. My suspicion is that coming up with a nice model for this would help us a lot with things like: - Idiom recognition of reduction patterns that use horizontal arithmetic - Ability to use horizontal operations in SLPVectorizer - Significantly easier cost modeling of vectorizing loops with reductions in
