(For +the T3E and T3D systems, see the `alpha' subdirectory at the same +level as the directory containing this file.) + +The cfp subdirectory is for systems utilizing the traditional Cray +floating-point format, and the ieee subdirectory is for the newer +systems that use the IEEE floating-point format. + +There are several issues that reduces speed on Cray systems. For +systems with cfp floating point, the main obstacle is the forming of +128-bit products. For IEEE systems, adding, and in particular +computing carry is the main issue. There are no vectorizing +unsigned-less-than instructions, and the sequence that implement that +operation is very long. + +Shifting is the only operation that is simple to make fast. All Cray +systems have a bitblt instructions (Vi Vj,Vj<Ak and Vi Vj,Vj>Ak) that +should be really useful. + +For best speed for cfp systems, we need a mul_basecase, since that +reduces the need for carry propagation to a minimum. Depending on the +size (vn) of the smaller of the two operands (V), we should split U and V +in different chunk sizes: + +U split in 2 32-bit parts +V split according to the table: +parts 4 5 6 7 8 +bits/part 16 13 11 10 8 +max allowed vn 1 8 32 64 256 +number of multiplies 8 10 12 14 16 +peak cycles/limb 4 5 6 7 8 + +U split in 3 22-bit parts +V split according to the table: +parts 3 4 5 +bits/part 22 16 13 +max allowed vn 16 1024 8192 +number of multiplies 9 12 15 +peak cycles/limb 4.5 6 7.5 + +U split in 4 16-bit parts +V split according to the table: +parts 4 +bits/part 16 +max allowed vn 65536 +number of multiplies 16 +peak cycles/limb 8 + +(A T90 CPU can accumulate two products per cycle.) + +IDEA: +* Rewrite mpn_add_n: + short cy[n + 1]; + #pragma _CRI ivdep + for (i = 0; i < n; i++) + { s = up[i] + vp[i]; + rp[i] = s; + cy[i + 1] = s < up[i]; } + more_carries = 0; + #pragma _CRI ivdep + for (i = 1; i < n; i++) + { s = rp[i] + cy[i]; + rp[i] = s; + more_carries += s < cy[i]; } + cys = 0; + if (more_carries) + { + cys = rp[1] < cy[1]; + for (i = 2; i < n; i++) + { rp[i] += cys; + cys = rp[i] < cys; } + } + return cys + cy[n]; + +* Write mpn_add3_n for adding three operands. First add operands 1 + and 2, and generate cy[]. Then add operand 3 to the partial result, + and accumulate carry into cy[]. Finally propagate carry just like + in the new mpn_add_n. + +IDEA: + +Store fewer bits, perhaps 62, per limb. That brings mpn_add_n time +down to 2.5 cycles/limb and mpn_addmul_1 times to 4 cycles/limb. By +storing even fewer bits per limb, perhaps 56, it would be possible to +write a mul_mul_basecase that would run at effectively 1 cycle/limb. +(Use VM here to better handle the romb-shaped multiply area, perhaps +rounding operand sizes up to the next power of 2.) |
