RELEVANT OPTIMIZATION ISSUES Load and Store timing On most early SPARC implementations, the ST instructions takes multiple cycles, while a STD takes just a single cycle more than an ST. For the CPUs in SPARCstation I and II, the times are 3 and 4 cycles, respectively. Therefore, combining two ST instructions into a STD when possible is a significant optimization. Later SPARC implementations have single cycle ST. For SuperSPARC, we can perform just one memory instruction per cycle, even if up to two integer instructions can be executed in its pipeline. For programs that perform so many memory operations that there are not enough non-memory operations to issue in parallel with all memory operations, using LDD and STD when possible helps. UltraSPARC-1/2 has very slow integer multiplication. In the v9 subdirectory, we therefore use floating-point multiplication. STATUS 1. On a SuperSPARC, mpn_lshift and mpn_rshift run at 3 cycles/limb, or 2.5 cycles/limb asymptotically. We could optimize speed for special counts by using ADDXCC. 2. On a SuperSPARC, mpn_add_n and mpn_sub_n runs at 2.5 cycles/limb, or 2 cycles/limb asymptotically. 3. mpn_mul_1 runs at what is believed to be optimal speed. 4. On SuperSPARC, mpn_addmul_1 and mpn_submul_1 could both be improved by a cycle by avoiding one of the add instructions. See a29k/addmul_1. The speed of the code for other SPARC implementations is uncertain. |
