This suggests 3 is a limit on +the speed of the multiplication routines. The documentation shows mul +executing in IEU0 (or maybe in IEU0 and IEU1 together), so it might be that, +to get near 3 cycles code has to be arranged so that nothing else is issued +to IEU0. A busy IEU0 could explain why some code takes 4 cycles and other +apparently equivalent code takes 5. + + + +OPTIMIZATIONS + +Unrolled loops are used to reduce looping overhead. The unrolling is +configurable up to 32 limbs/loop for most routines and up to 64 for some. +The K7 has 64k L1 code cache so quite big unrolling is allowable. + +Computed jumps into the unrolling are used to handle sizes not a multiple of +the unrolling. An attractive feature of this is that times increase +smoothly with operand size, but it may be that some routines should just +have simple loops to finish up, especially when PIC adds between 2 and 16 +cycles to get %eip. + +Position independent code is implemented using a call to get %eip for the +computed jumps and a ret is always done, rather than an addl $4,%esp or a +popl, so the CPU return address branch prediction stack stays synchronised +with the actual stack in memory. + +Branch prediction, in absence of any history, will guess forward jumps are +not taken and backward jumps are taken. Where possible it's arranged that +the less likely or less important case is under a taken forward jump. + + + +CODING + +Instructions in general code have been shown grouped if they can execute +together, which means up to three direct-path instructions which have no +successive dependencies. K7 always decodes three and has out-of-order +execution, but the groupings show what slots might be available and what +dependency chains exist. + +When there's vector-path instructions an effort is made to get triplets of +direct-path instructions in between them, even if there's dependencies, +since this maximizes decoding throughput and might save a cycle or two if +decoding is the limiting factor. + + + +INSTRUCTIONS + +adcl direct +divl 39 cycles back-to-back +lodsl,etc vector +loop 1 cycle vector (decl/jnz opens up one decode slot) +movd reg vector +movd mem direct +mull issue every 3 cycles, latency 4 cycles low word, 6 cycles high word +popl vector (use movl for more than one pop) +pushl direct, will pair with a load +shrdl %cl vector, 3 cycles, seems to be 3 decode too +xorl r,r false read dependency recognised + + + +REFERENCES + +"AMD Athlon Processor X86 Code Optimization Guide", AMD publication number +22007, revision K, February 2002.
