(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.) |
