14
15 REMAP is an advanced form of Vector "Structure Packing" that provides
16 hardware-level support for commonly-used *nested* loop patterns that would
17 otherwise require full inline loop unrolling. For more general reordering
18 an Indexed REMAP mode is available (an abstracted analog to `xxperm`).
19
20 REMAP allows the usual sequential vector loop `0..VL-1` to be "reshaped"
21 (re-mapped) from a linear form to a 2D or 3D transposed form, or "offset"
22 to permit arbitrary access to elements (when elwidth overrides are
23 used), independently on each Vector src or dest register. Aside from
24 Indexed REMAP this is entirely Hardware-accelerated reordering and
25 consequently not costly in terms of register access. It will however
26 place a burden on Multi-Issue systems but no more than if the equivalent
27 Scalar instructions were explicitly loop-unrolled without SVP64, and
28 some advanced implementations may even find the Deterministic nature of
29 the Scheduling to be easier on resources.
30
31 The initial primary motivation of REMAP was for Matrix Multiplication,
32 reordering of sequential data in-place: in-place DCT and FFT were
33 easily justified given the exceptionally high usage in Computer Science.
34 Four SPRs are provided which may be applied to any GPR, FPR or CR Field so
35 that for example a single FMAC may be used in a single hardware-controlled
36 100% Deterministic loop to perform 5x3 times 3x4 Matrix multiplication,
37 generating 60 FMACs *without needing explicit assembler unrolling*.
38 Additional uses include regular "Structure Packing" such as RGB pixel
39 data extraction and reforming (although less costly vec2/3/4 reshaping
40 is achievable with `PACK/UNPACK`).
41
42 REMAP, like all of SV, is abstracted out, meaning that unlike traditional
43 Vector ISAs which would typically only have a limited set of instructions
44 that can be structure-packed (LD/ST and Move operations
45 being the most common), REMAP may be applied to
46 literally any instruction: CRs, Arithmetic, Logical, LD/ST, even
47 Vectorised Branch-Conditional.
48
49 When SUBVL is greater than 1 a given group of Subvector
50 elements are kept together: effectively the group becomes the
51 element, and with REMAP applying to elements
52 (not sub-elements) each group is REMAPed together.
53 Swizzle *can* however be applied to the same
54 instruction as REMAP, providing re-sequencing of
55 Subvector elements which REMAP cannot. Also as explained in [[sv/mv.swizzle]], [[sv/mv.vec]] and the [[svp64/appendix]], Pack and Unpack Mode bits
56 can extend down into Sub-vector elements to influence vec2/vec3/vec4
57 sequential reordering, but even here, REMAP reordering is not *individually*
58 extended down to the actual sub-vector elements themselves.
59 This keeps the relevant Predicate Mask bit applicable to the Subvector
60 group, just as it does when REMAP is not active.
61
62 In its general form, REMAP is quite expensive to set up, and on some
63 implementations may introduce latency, so should realistically be used
64 only where it is worthwhile. Given that even with latency the fact
65 that up to 127 operations can be Deterministically issued (from a single
66 instruction) it should be clear that REMAP should not be dismissed
67 for *possible* latency alone. Commonly-used patterns such as Matrix
68 Multiply, DCT and FFT have helper instruction options which make REMAP
69 easier to use.
70
71 There are four types of REMAP:
72
73 * **Matrix**, also known as 2D and 3D reshaping, can perform in-place
74 Matrix transpose and rotate. The Shapes are set up for an "Outer Product"
75 Matrix Multiply.
76 * **FFT/DCT**, with full triple-loop in-place support: limited to
77 Power-2 RADIX
78 * **Indexing**, for any general-purpose reordering, also includes
79 limited 2D reshaping.
80 * **Parallel Reduction**, for scheduling a sequence of operations
81 in a Deterministic fashion, in a way that may be parallelised,
82 to reduce a Vector down to a single value.
83
84 Best implemented on top of a Multi-Issue Out-of-Order Micro-architecture,
85 REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic **including Indexing** and are
86 designed to be incorporated in between the Decode and Issue phases,
87 directly into Register Hazard Management.
88
89 As long as the SVSHAPE SPRs
90 are not written to directly, Hardware may treat REMAP as 100%
91 Deterministic: all REMAP Management instructions take static
92 operands (no dynamic register operands)
93 with the exception of Indexed Mode, and even then
94 Architectural State is permitted to assume that the Indices
95 are cacheable from the point at which the `svindex` instruction
96 is executed.
97
98 Parallel Reduction is unusual in that it requires a full vector array
99 of results (not a scalar) and uses the rest of the result Vector for
100 the purposes of storing intermediary calculations. As these intermediary
101 results are Deterministically computed they may be useful.
102 Additionally, because the intermediate results are always written out
103 it is possible to service Precise Interrupts without affecting latency
104 (a common limitation of Vector ISAs implementing explicit
105 Parallel Reduction instructions).
106
107 ## Basic principle
108
109 * normal vector element read/write of operands would be sequential
110 (0 1 2 3 ....)
111 * this is not appropriate for (e.g.) Matrix multiply which requires
112 accessing elements in alternative sequences (0 3 6 1 4 7 ...)
113 * normal Vector ISAs use either Indexed-MV or Indexed-LD/ST to "cope"
114 with this. both are expensive (copy large vectors, spill through memory)
115 and very few Packed SIMD ISAs cope with non-Power-2.
116 * REMAP **redefines** the order of access according to set
117 (Deterministic) "Schedules".
118 * Matrix Schedules are not at all restricted to power-of-two boundaries
119 making it unnecessary to have for example specialised 3x4 transpose
120 instructions of other Vector ISAs.
121
122 Only the most commonly-used algorithms in computer science have REMAP
123 support, due to the high cost in both the ISA and in hardware. For
124 arbitrary remapping the `Indexed` REMAP may be used.
125
126 ## Example Usage
127
128 * `svshape` to set the type of reordering to be applied to an
129 otherwise usual `0..VL-1` hardware for-loop
130 * `svremap` to set which registers a given reordering is to apply to
131 (RA, RT etc)
132 * `sv.{instruction}` where any Vectorised register marked by `svremap`
133 will have its ordering REMAPPED according to the schedule set
134 by `svshape`.
135
136 The following illustrative example multiplies a 3x4 and a 5x3
137 matrix to create
138 a 5x4 result:
139
140 ```
141 svshape 5, 4, 3, 0, 0 # Outer Product
142 svremap 15, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0
143 sv.fmadds *0, *32, *64, *0
144 ```
145
146 * svshape sets up the four SVSHAPE SPRS for a Matrix Schedule
147 * svremap activates four out of five registers RA RB RC RT RS (15)
148 * svremap requests:
149 - RA to use SVSHAPE1
150 - RB to use SVSHAPE2
151 - RC to use SVSHAPE3
152 - RT to use SVSHAPE0
153 - RS Remapping to not be activated
154 * sv.fmadds has RT=0.v, RA=8.v, RB=16.v, RC=0.v
155 * With REMAP being active each register's element index is
156 *independently* transformed using the specified SHAPEs.
157
158 Thus the Vector Loop is arranged such that the use of
159 the multiply-and-accumulate instruction executes precisely the required
160 Schedule to perform an in-place in-registers Outer Product
161 Matrix Multiply with no
162 need to perform additional Transpose or register copy instructions.
163 The example above may be executed as a unit test and demo,
164 [here](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=blob;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa/test_caller_svp64_matrix.py;h=c15479db9a36055166b6b023c7495f9ca3637333;hb=a17a252e474d5d5bf34026c25a19682e3f2015c3#l94)
165
166 ## REMAP types
167
168 This section summarises the motivation for each REMAP Schedule
169 and briefly goes over their characteristics and limitations.
170 Further details on the Deterministic Precise-Interruptible algorithms
171 used in these Schedules is found in the [[sv/remap/appendix]].
172
173 ### Matrix (1D/2D/3D shaping)
174
175 Matrix Multiplication is a huge part of High-Performance Compute,
176 and 3D.
177 In many PackedSIMD as well as Scalable Vector ISAs, non-power-of-two
178 Matrix sizes are a serious challenge. PackedSIMD ISAs, in order to
179 cope with for example 3x4 Matrices, recommend rolling data-repetition and loop-unrolling.
180 Aside from the cost of the load on the L1 I-Cache, the trick only
181 works if one of the dimensions X or Y are power-two. Prime Numbers
182 (5x7, 3x5) become deeply problematic to unroll.
183
184 Even traditional Scalable Vector ISAs have issues with Matrices, often
185 having to perform data Transpose by pushing out through Memory and back,
186 or computing Transposition Indices (costly) then copying to another
187 Vector (costly).
188
189 Matrix REMAP was thus designed to solve these issues by providing Hardware
190 Assisted
191 "Schedules" that can view what would otherwise be limited to a strictly
192 linear Vector as instead being 2D (even 3D) *in-place* reordered.
193 With both Transposition and non-power-two being supported the issues
194 faced by other ISAs are mitigated.
195
196 Limitations of Matrix REMAP are that the Vector Length (VL) is currently
197 restricted to 127: up to 127 FMAs (or other operation)
198 may be performed in total.
199 Also given that it is in-registers only at present some care has to be
200 taken on regfile resource utilisation. However it is perfectly possible
201 to utilise Matrix REMAP to perform the three inner-most "kernel"
202 ("Tiling") loops of
203 the usual 6-level large Matrix Multiply, without the usual difficulties
204 associated with SIMD.
205
206 Also the `svshape` instruction only provides access to part of the
207 Matrix REMAP capability. Rotation and mirroring need to be done by
208 programming the SVSHAPE SPRs directly, which can take a lot more
209 instructions. Future versions of SVP64 will include EXT1xx prefixed
210 variants (`psvshape`) which provide more comprehensive capacity and
211 mitigate the need to write direct to the SVSHAPE SPRs.
212
213 ### FFT/DCT Triple Loop
214
215 DCT and FFT are some of the most astonishingly used algorithms in
216 Computer Science. Radar, Audio, Video, R.F. Baseband and dozens more. At least
217 two DSPs, TMS320 and Hexagon, have VLIW instructions specially tailored
218 to FFT.
219
220 An in-depth analysis showed that it is possible to do in-place in-register
221 DCT and FFT as long as twin-result "butterfly" instructions are provided.
222 These can be found in the [[openpower/isa/svfparith]] page if performing
223 IEEE754 FP transforms. *(For fixed-point transforms, equivalent 3-in 2-out
224 integer operations would be required)*. These "butterfly" instructions
225 avoid the need for a temporary register because the two array positions
226 being overwritten will be "in-flight" in any In-Order or Out-of-Order
227 micro-architecture.
228
229 DCT and FFT Schedules are currently limited to RADIX2 sizes and do not
230 accept predicate masks. Given that it is common to perform recursive
231 convolutions combining smaller Power-2 DCT/FFT to create larger DCT/FFTs
232 in practice the RADIX2 limit is not a problem. A Bluestein convolution
233 to compute arbitrary length is demonstrated by
234 [Project Nayuki](https://www.nayuki.io/res/free-small-fft-in-multiple-languages/fft.py)
235
236 ### Indexed
237
238 The purpose of Indexing is to provide a generalised version of
239 Vector ISA "Permute" instructions, such as VSX `vperm`. The
240 Indexing is abstracted out and may be applied to much more
241 than an element move/copy, and is not limited for example
242 to the number of bytes that can fit into a VSX register.
243 Indexing may be applied to LD/ST (even on Indexed LD/ST
244 instructions such as `sv.lbzx`), arithmetic operations,
245 extsw: there is no artificial limit.
246
247 The only major caveat is that the registers to be used as
248 Indices must not be modified by any instruction after Indexed Mode
249 is established, and neither must MAXVL be altered. Additionally,
250 no register used as an Index may exceed MAXVL-1.
251
252 Failure to observe
253 these conditions results in `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
254 These conditions allow a Read-After-Write (RAW) Hazard to be created on
255 the entire range of Indices to be subsequently used, but a corresponding
256 Write-After-Read Hazard by any instruction that modifies the Indices
257 **does not have to be created**. Given the large number of registers
258 involved in Indexing this is a huge resource saving and reduction
259 in micro-architectural complexity. MAXVL is likewise
260 included in the RAW Hazards because it is involved in calculating
261 how many registers are to be considered Indices.
262
263 With these Hazard Mitigations in place, high-performance implementations
264 may read-cache the Indices at the point where a given `svindex` instruction
265 is called (or SVSHAPE SPRs - and MAXVL - directly altered) by issuing
266 background GPR register file reads whilst other instructions are being
267 issued and executed.
268
269 The original motivation for Indexed REMAP was to mitigate the need to add
270 an expensive `mv.x` to the Scalar ISA, which was likely to be rejected as
271 a stand-alone instruction. Usually a Vector ISA would add a non-conflicting
272 variant (as in VSX `vperm`) but it is common to need to permute by source,
273 with the risk of conflict, that has to be resolved, for example, in AVX-512
274 with `conflictd`.
275
276 Indexed REMAP on the other hand **does not prevent conflicts** (overlapping
277 destinations), which on a superficial analysis may be perceived to be a
278 problem, until it is recalled that, firstly, Simple-V is designed specifically
279 to require Program Order to be respected, and that Matrix, DCT and FFT
280 all *already* critically depend on overlapping Reads/Writes: Matrix
281 uses overlapping registers as accumulators. Thus the Register Hazard
282 Management needed by Indexed REMAP *has* to be in place anyway.
283
284 The cost compared to Matrix and other REMAPs (and Pack/Unpack) is
285 clearly that of the additional reading of the GPRs to be used as Indices,
286 plus the setup cost associated with creating those same Indices.
287 If any Deterministic REMAP can cover the required task, clearly it
288 is adviseable to use it instead.
289
290 *Programmer's note: some algorithms may require skipping of Indices exceeding
291 VL-1, not MAXVL-1. This may be achieved programmatically by performing
292 an `sv.cmp *BF,*RA,RB` where RA is the same GPRs used in the Indexed REMAP,
293 and RB contains the value of VL returned from `setvl`. The resultant
294 CR Fields may then be used as Predicate Masks to exclude those operations
295 with an Index exceeding VL-1.*
296
297 ### Parallel Reduction
298
299 Vector Reduce Mode issues a deterministic tree-reduction schedule to the underlying micro-architecture. Like Scalar reduction, the "Scalar Base"
300 (Power ISA v3.0B) operation is leveraged, unmodified, to give the
301 *appearance* and *effect* of Reduction.
302
303 In Horizontal-First Mode, Vector-result reduction **requires**
304 the destination to be a Vector, which will be used to store
305 intermediary results.
306
307 Given that the tree-reduction schedule is deterministic,
308 Interrupts and exceptions
309 can therefore also be precise. The final result will be in the first
310 non-predicate-masked-out destination element, but due again to
311 the deterministic schedule programmers may find uses for the intermediate
312 results.
313
314 When Rc=1 a corresponding Vector of co-resultant CRs is also
315 created. No special action is taken: the result *and its CR Field*
316 are stored "as usual" exactly as all other SVP64 Rc=1 operations.
317
318 Note that the Schedule only makes sense on top of certain instructions:
319 X-Form with a Register Profile of `RT,RA,RB` is fine because two sources
320 and the destination are all the same type. Like Scalar
321 Reduction, nothing is prohibited:
322 the results of execution on an unsuitable instruction may simply
323 not make sense. With care, even 3-input instructions (madd, fmadd, ternlogi)
324 may be used, and whilst it is down to the Programmer to walk through the
325 process the Programmer can be confident that the Parallel-Reduction is
326 guaranteed 100% Deterministic.
327
328 Critical to note regarding use of Parallel-Reduction REMAP is that,
329 exactly as with all REMAP Modes, the `svshape` instruction *requests*
330 a certain Vector Length (number of elements to reduce) and then
331 sets VL and MAXVL at the number of **operations** needed to be
332 carried out. Thus, equally as importantly, like Matrix REMAP
333 the total number of operations
334 is restricted to 127. Any Parallel-Reduction requiring more operations
335 will need to be done manually in batches (hierarchical
336 recursive Reduction).
337
338 Also important to note is that the Deterministic Schedule is arranged
339 so that some implementations *may* parallelise it (as long as doing so
340 respects Program Order and Register Hazards). Performance (speed)
341 of any given
342 implementation is neither strictly defined or guaranteed. As with
343 the Vulkan(tm) Specification, strict compliance is paramount whilst
344 performance is at the discretion of Implementors.
345
346 **Parallel-Reduction with Predication**
347
348 To avoid breaking the strict RISC-paradigm, keeping the Issue-Schedule
349 completely separate from the actual element-level (scalar) operations,
350 Move operations are **not** included in the Schedule. This means that
351 the Schedule leaves the final (scalar) result in the first-non-masked
352 element of the Vector used. With the predicate mask being dynamic
353 (but deterministic) this result could be anywhere.
354
355 If that result is needed to be moved to a (single) scalar register
356 then a follow-up `sv.mv/sm=predicate rt, *ra` instruction will be
357 needed to get it, where the predicate is the exact same predicate used
358 in the prior Parallel-Reduction instruction.
359
360 * If there was only a single
361 bit in the predicate then the result will not have moved or been altered
362 from the source vector prior to the Reduction
363 * If there was more than one bit the result will be in the
364 first element with a predicate bit set.
365
366 In either case the result is in the element with the first bit set in
367 the predicate mask. Thus, no move/copy *within the Reduction itself* was needed.
368
369 Programmer's Note: For *some* hardware implementations
370 the vector-to-scalar copy may be a slow operation, as may the Predicated
371 Parallel Reduction itself.
372 It may be better to perform a pre-copy
373 of the values, compressing them (VREDUCE-style) into a contiguous block,
374 which will guarantee that the result goes into the very first element
375 of the destination vector, in which case clearly no follow-up
376 predicated vector-to-scalar MV operation is needed.
377
378 **Usage conditions**
379
380 The simplest usage is to perform an overwrite, specifying all three
381 register operands the same.
382
383 ```
384 svshape parallelreduce, 6
385 sv.add *8, *8, *8
386 ```
387
388 The Reduction Schedule will issue the Parallel Tree Reduction spanning
389 registers 8 through 13, by adjusting the offsets to RT, RA and RB as
390 necessary (see "Parallel Reduction algorithm" in a later section).
391
392 A non-overwrite is possible as well but just as with the overwrite
393 version, only those destination elements necessary for storing
394 intermediary computations will be written to: the remaining elements
395 will **not** be overwritten and will **not** be zero'd.
396
397 ```
398 svshape parallelreduce, 6
399 sv.add *0, *8, *8
400 ```
401
402 However it is critical to note that if the source and destination are
403 not the same then the trick of using a follow-up vector-scalar MV will
404 not work.
405
406 ### Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction
407
408 To achieve Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction, Pack/Unpack should be enabled,
409 which will turn the Schedule around such that issuing of the Scalar
410 Defined Words is done with SUBVL looping as the inner loop not the
411 outer loop. Rc=1 with Sub-Vectors (SUBVL=2,3,4) is `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
412
413 ## Determining Register Hazards
414
415 For high-performance (Multi-Issue, Out-of-Order) systems it is critical
416 to be able to statically determine the extent of Vectors in order to
417 allocate pre-emptive Hazard protection. The next task is to eliminate
418 masked-out elements using predicate bits, freeing up the associated
419 Hazards.
420
421 For non-REMAP situations `VL` is sufficient to ascertain early
422 Hazard coverage, and with SVSTATE being a high priority cached
423 quantity at the same level of MSR and PC this is not a problem.
424
425 The problems come when REMAP is enabled. Indexed REMAP must instead
426 use `MAXVL` as the earliest (simplest)
427 batch-level Hazard Reservation indicator (after taking element-width
428 overriding on the Index source into consideration),
429 but Matrix, FFT and Parallel Reduction must all use completely different
430 schemes. The reason is that VL is used to step through the total
431 number of *operations*, not the number of registers.
432 The "Saving Grace" is that all of the REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic.
433
434 Advance-notice Parallel computation and subsequent cacheing
435 of all of these complex Deterministic REMAP Schedules is
436 *strongly recommended*, thus allowing clear and precise multi-issue
437 batched Hazard coverage to be deployed, *even for Indexed Mode*.
438 This is only possible for Indexed due to the strict guidelines
439 given to Programmers.
440
441 In short, there exists solutions to the problem of Hazard Management,
442 with varying degrees of refinement possible at correspondingly
443 increasing levels of complexity in hardware.
444
445 A reminder: when Rc=1 each result register (element) has an associated
446 co-result CR Field (one per result element). Thus above when determining
447 the Write-Hazards for result registers the corresponding Write-Hazards for the
448 corresponding associated co-result CR Field must not be forgotten, *including* when
449 Predication is used.
450
451 ## REMAP area of SVSTATE SPR
452
453 The following bits of the SVSTATE SPR are used for REMAP:
454
455 |32.33|34.35|36.37|38.39|40.41| 42.46 | 62 |
456 | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | ----- | ------ |
457 |mi0 |mi1 |mi2 |mo0 |mo1 | SVme | RMpst |
458
459 mi0-2 and mo0-1 each select SVSHAPE0-3 to apply to a given register.
460 mi0-2 apply to RA, RB, RC respectively, as input registers, and
461 likewise mo0-1 apply to output registers (RT/FRT, RS/FRS) respectively.
462 SVme is 5 bits (one for each of mi0-2/mo0-1) and indicates whether the
463 SVSHAPE is actively applied or not.
464
465 * bit 0 of SVme indicates if mi0 is applied to RA / FRA / BA / BFA
466 * bit 1 of SVme indicates if mi1 is applied to RB / FRB / BB
467 * bit 2 of SVme indicates if mi2 is applied to RC / FRC / BC
468 * bit 3 of SVme indicates if mo0 is applied to RT / FRT / BT / BF
469 * bit 4 of SVme indicates if mo1 is applied to Effective Address / FRS / RS
470 (LD/ST-with-update has an implicit 2nd write register, RA)
471
472 The "persistence" bit if set will result in all Active REMAPs being applied
473 indefinitely.

510 ```
511 SVSTATE
512 ```
513
514 `svremap` determines the relationship between registers and SVSHAPE SPRs.
515 The bitmask `SVme` determines which registers have a REMAP applied, and mi0-mo1
516 determine which shape is applied to an activated register. the `pst` bit if
517 cleared indicated that the REMAP operation shall only apply to the immediately-following
518 instruction. If set then REMAP remains permanently enabled until such time as it is
519 explicitly disabled, either by `setvl` setting a new MAXVL, or with another
520 `svremap` instruction. `svindex` and `svshape2` are also capable of setting or
521 clearing persistence, as well as partially covering a subset of the capability of
522 `svremap` to set register-to-SVSHAPE relationships.
523
524 Programmer's Note: applying non-persistent `svremap` to an instruction that has
525 no REMAP enabled or is a Scalar operation will obviously have no effect but
526 the bits 32 to 46 will at least have been set in SVSTATE. This may prove useful
527 when using `svindex` or `svshape2`.
528
529 Hardware Architectural Note: when persistence is not set it is critically important
530 to treat the `svremap` and the following SVP64 instruction as an indivisible fused operation.
531 *No state* is stored in the SVSTATE SPR in order to allow continuation should an
532 Interrupt occur between the two instructions. Thus, Interrupts must be prohibited
533 from occurring or other workaround deployed. When persistence is set this issue
534 is moot.
535
536 It is critical to note that if persistence is clear then `svremap` is the *only* way
537 to activate REMAP on any given (following) instruction. If persistence is set however then
538 **all** SVP64 instructions go through REMAP as long as `SVme` is non-zero.

544 # SHAPE Remapping SPRs
545
546 There are four "shape" SPRs, SHAPE0-3, 32-bits in each,
547 which have the same format.
548
549 Shape is 32-bits. When SHAPE is set entirely to zeros, remapping is
550 disabled: the register's elements are a linear (1D) vector.
551
552 |31.30|29..28 |27..24| 23..21 | 20..18 | 17..12 |11..6 |5..0 | Mode |
553 |---- |------ |------| ------ | ------- | ------- |----- |----- | ----- |
554 |mode |skip |offset| invxyz | permute | zdimsz |ydimsz|xdimsz|Matrix |
555 |0b00 |elwidth|offset|sk1/invxy|0b110/0b111|SVGPR|ydimsz|xdimsz|Indexed|

558 |0b11 | | | | | | | |rsvd |
559
560 mode sets different behaviours (straight matrix multiply, FFT, DCT).
561
562 * **mode=0b00** sets straight Matrix Mode
563 * **mode=0b00** with permute=0b110 or 0b111 sets Indexed Mode
564 * **mode=0b01** sets "FFT/DCT" mode and activates submodes
565 * **mode=0b10** sets "Parallel Reduction" Schedules.
566
567 ## Parallel Reduction Mode
568
569 Creates the Schedules for Parallel Tree Reduction.
570
571 * **submode=0b00** selects the left operand index
572 * **submode=0b01** selects the right operand index
573
574 * When bit 0 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the indices
575 in the inner for-loop are reversed. This has the side-effect
576 of placing the final reduced result in the last-predicated element.
577 It also has the indirect side-effect of swapping the source
578 registers: Left-operand index numbers will always exceed
579 Right-operand indices.
580 When clear, the reduced result will be in the first-predicated
581 element, and Left-operand indices will always be *less* than
582 Right-operand ones.
583 * When bit 1 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the outer loop
584 step is inverted: stepping begins at the nearest power-of two
585 to half of the vector length and reduces by half each time.
586 When clear the step will begin at 2 and double on each
587 inner loop.
588
589 ## FFT/DCT mode
590
591 submode2=0 is for FFT. For FFT submode the following schedules may be
592 selected:
593
594 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop
595 of Tukey-Cooley
596 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop
597 of Tukey-Cooley
598 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``k`` of exptable (which coefficient)
599
600 When submode2 is 1 or 2, for DCT inner butterfly submode the following
601 schedules may be selected. When submode2 is 1, additional bit-reversing
602 is also performed.
603
604 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
605 in-place
606 * **submode=0b010** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
607 in reverse-order, in-place
608 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``ci`` count of the innermost for-loop,
609 useful for calculating the cosine coefficient
610 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``size`` offset of the outermost for-loop,
611 useful for the cosine coefficient ``cos(ci + 0.5) * pi / size``
612
613 When submode2 is 3 or 4, for DCT outer butterfly submode the following
614 schedules may be selected. When submode is 3, additional bit-reversing
615 is also performed.
616
617 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
618 * **submode=0b01** selects the ``j+1`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
619
620 `zdimsz` is used as an in-place "Stride", particularly useful for
621 column-based in-place DCT/FFT.
622
623 ## Matrix Mode
624
625 In Matrix Mode, skip allows dimensions to be skipped from being included
626 in the resultant output index. this allows sequences to be repeated:
627 ```0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 ...``` or in the case of skip=0b11 this results in
628 modulo ```0 1 2 0 1 2 ...```
629
630 * **skip=0b00** indicates no dimensions to be skipped
631 * **skip=0b01** sets "skip 1st dimension"
632 * **skip=0b10** sets "skip 2nd dimension"
633 * **skip=0b11** sets "skip 3rd dimension"
634
635 invxyz will invert the start index of each of x, y or z. If invxyz[0] is
636 zero then x-dimensional counting begins from 0 and increments, otherwise
637 it begins from xdimsz-1 and iterates down to zero. Likewise for y and z.
638
639 offset will have the effect of offsetting the result by ```offset``` elements:
640
641 ```
642 for i in 0..VL-1:
643 GPR(RT + remap(i) + SVSHAPE.offset) = ....
644 ```
645
646 this appears redundant because the register RT could simply be changed by a compiler, until element width overrides are introduced. also
647 bear in mind that unlike a static compiler SVSHAPE.offset may
648 be set dynamically at runtime.
649
650 xdimsz, ydimsz and zdimsz are offset by 1, such that a value of 0 indicates
651 that the array dimensionality for that dimension is 1. any dimension
652 not intended to be used must have its value set to 0 (dimensionality
653 of 1). A value of xdimsz=2 would indicate that in the first dimension
654 there are 3 elements in the array. For example, to create a 2D array
655 X,Y of dimensionality X=3 and Y=2, set xdimsz=2, ydimsz=1 and zdimsz=0
656
657 The format of the array is therefore as follows:
658
659 ```
660 array[xdimsz+1][ydimsz+1][zdimsz+1]
661 ```
662
663 However whilst illustrative of the dimensionality, that does not take the
664 "permute" setting into account. "permute" may be any one of six values
665 (0-5, with values of 6 and 7 indicating "Indexed" Mode). The table
666 below shows how the permutation dimensionality order works:
667
668 | permute | order | array format |
669 | ------- | ----- | ------------------------ |
670 | 000 | 0,1,2 | (xdim+1)(ydim+1)(zdim+1) |
671 | 001 | 0,2,1 | (xdim+1)(zdim+1)(ydim+1) |
672 | 010 | 1,0,2 | (ydim+1)(xdim+1)(zdim+1) |
673 | 011 | 1,2,0 | (ydim+1)(zdim+1)(xdim+1) |
674 | 100 | 2,0,1 | (zdim+1)(xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
675 | 101 | 2,1,0 | (zdim+1)(ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
676 | 110 | 0,1 | Indexed (xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
677 | 111 | 1,0 | Indexed (ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
678
679 In other words, the "permute" option changes the order in which
680 nested for-loops over the array would be done. See executable
681 python reference code for further details.
682
683 *Note: permute=0b110 and permute=0b111 enable Indexed REMAP Mode,
684 described below*
685
686 With all these options it is possible to support in-place transpose,
687 in-place rotate, Matrix Multiply and Convolutions, without being
688 limited to Power-of-Two dimension sizes.
689
690 ## Indexed Mode
691
692 Indexed Mode activates reading of the element indices from the GPR
693 and includes optional limited 2D reordering.
694 In its simplest form (without elwidth overrides or other modes):
695
696 ```
697 def index_remap(i):
698 return GPR((SVSHAPE.SVGPR<<1)+i) + SVSHAPE.offset
699
700 for i in 0..VL-1:
701 element_result = ....
702 GPR(RT + indexed_remap(i)) = element_result
703 ```
704
705 With element-width overrides included, and using the pseudocode
706 from the SVP64 [[sv/svp64/appendix#elwidth]] elwidth section
707 this becomes:
708
709 ```
710 def index_remap(i):
711 svreg = SVSHAPE.SVGPR << 1
712 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(SVSHAPE.elwid)
713 offs = SVSHAPE.offset
714 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, i) + offs
715
716 for i in 0..VL-1:
717 element_result = ....
718 rt_idx = indexed_remap(i)
719 set_polymorphed_reg(RT, destwid, rt_idx, element_result)
720 ```
721
722 Matrix-style reordering still applies to the indices, except limited
723 to up to 2 Dimensions (X,Y). Ordering is therefore limited to (X,Y) or
724 (Y,X) for in-place Transposition.
725 Only one dimension may optionally be skipped. Inversion of either
726 X or Y or both is possible (2D mirroring). Pseudocode for Indexed Mode (including elwidth
727 overrides) may be written in terms of Matrix Mode, specifically
728 purposed to ensure that the 3rd dimension (Z) has no effect:
729
730 ```
731 def index_remap(ISHAPE, i):
732 MSHAPE.skip = 0b0 || ISHAPE.sk1
733 MSHAPE.invxyz = 0b0 || ISHAPE.invxy
734 MSHAPE.xdimsz = ISHAPE.xdimsz
735 MSHAPE.ydimsz = ISHAPE.ydimsz
736 MSHAPE.zdimsz = 0 # disabled
737 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b110 # 0,1
738 MSHAPE.permute = 0b000 # 0,1,2
739 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b111 # 1,0
740 MSHAPE.permute = 0b010 # 1,0,2
741 el_idx = remap_matrix(MSHAPE, i)
742 svreg = ISHAPE.SVGPR << 1
743 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(ISHAPE.elwid)
744 offs = ISHAPE.offset
745 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, el_idx) + offs
746 ```
747
748 The most important observation above is that the Matrix-style
749 remapping occurs first and the Index lookup second. Thus it
750 becomes possible to perform in-place Transpose of Indices which
751 may have been costly to set up or costly to duplicate
752 (waste register file space).

997 `svshape` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction
998 count for common usage patterns, particularly Matrix, DCT and FFT. It sets up
999 (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE SPRs and also modifies SVSTATE
1000 including VL and MAXVL. Using `svshape` therefore does not also
1001 require `setvl`.
1002
1003 Fields:
1004
1005 * **SVxd** - SV REMAP "xdim"
1006 * **SVyd** - SV REMAP "ydim"
1007 * **SVzd** - SV REMAP "zdim"
1008 * **SVRM** - SV REMAP Mode (0b00000 for Matrix, 0b00001 for FFT etc.)
1009 * **vf** - sets "Vertical-First" mode
1010 * **XO** - standard 6-bit XO field
1011
1012 *Note: SVxd, SVyz and SVzd are all stored "off-by-one". In the assembler
1013 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*
1014
1015 There are 12 REMAP Modes (2 Modes are RESERVED for `svshape2`, 2 Modes
1016 are RESERVED)
1017
1018 | SVRM | Remap Mode description |
1019 | -- | -- |
1020 | 0b0000 | Matrix 1/2/3D |
1021 | 0b0001 | FFT Butterfly |
1022 | 0b0010 | reserved |
1023 | 0b0011 | DCT Outer butterfly |
1024 | 0b0100 | DCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1025 | 0b0101 | DCT COS table index generation |
1026 | 0b0110 | DCT half-swap |
1027 | 0b0111 | Parallel Reduction |
1028 | 0b1000 | reserved for svshape2 |
1029 | 0b1001 | reserved for svshape2 |
1030 | 0b1010 | reserved |
1031 | 0b1011 | iDCT Outer butterfly |
1032 | 0b1100 | iDCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1033 | 0b1101 | iDCT COS table index generation |
1034 | 0b1110 | iDCT half-swap |
1035 | 0b1111 | FFT half-swap |
1036
1037 Examples showing how all of these Modes operate exists in the online
1038 [SVP64 unit tests](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa;hb=HEAD). Explaining
1039 these Modes further in detail is beyond the scope of this document.
1040
1041 In Indexed Mode, there are only 5 bits available to specify the GPR
1042 to use, out of 128 GPRs (7 bit numbering). Therefore, only the top
1043 5 bits are given in the `SVxd` field: the bottom two implicit bits
1044 will be zero (`SVxd || 0b00`).
1045
1046 `svshape` has *limited applicability* due to being a 32-bit instruction.
1047 The full capability of SVSHAPE SPRs may be accessed by directly writing
1048 to SVSHAPE0-3 with `mtspr`. Circumstances include Matrices with dimensions
1049 larger than 32, and in-place Transpose. Potentially a future v3.1 Prefixed
1050 instruction, `psvshape`, may extend the capability here.
1051
1052 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: the SVRM field is carefully
1053 crafted to allocate two Modes, corresponding to bits 21-23 within the
1054 instruction being set to the value `0b100`, to `svshape2` (not
1055 `svshape`). These two Modes are
1056 considered "RESERVED" within the context of `svshape` but it is
1057 absolutely critical to allocate the exact same pattern in XO for
1058 both instructions in bits 26-31.*

1142 `svindex` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction count
1143 for Indexed REMAP Mode. It sets up (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE
1144 SPRs and **unlike** `svshape` can modify the REMAP area of the SVSTATE
1145 SPR as well, including setting persistence. The relevant SPRs *may*
1146 be directly programmed with `mtspr` however it is laborious to do so:
1147 svindex saves instructions covering much of Indexed REMAP capability.
1148
1149 Fields:
1150
1151 * **SVd** - SV REMAP x/y dim
1152 * **rmm** - REMAP mask: sets remap mi0-2/mo0-1 and SVSHAPEs,
1153 controlled by mm
1154 * **ew** - sets element width override on the Indices
1155 * **SVG** - GPR SVG<<2 to be used for Indexing
1156 * **yx** - 2D reordering to be used if yx=1
1157 * **mm** - mask mode. determines how `rmm` is interpreted.
1158 * **sk** - Dimension skipping enabled
1159
1160 *Note: SVd, like SVxd, SVyz and SVzd of `svshape`, are all stored
1161 "off-by-one". In the assembler
1162 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*.
1163
1164 *Note: when `yx=1,sk=0` the second dimension is calculated as
1165 `CEIL(MAXVL/SVd)`*.
1166
1167 When `mm=0`:
1168
1169 * `rmm`, like REMAP.SVme, has bit 0
1170 correspond to mi0, bit 1 to mi1, bit 2 to mi2,
1171 bit 3 to mo0 and bit 4 to mi1
1172 * all SVSHAPEs and the REMAP parts of SVSHAPE are first reset (initialised to zero)
1173 * for each bit set in the 5-bit `rmm`, in order, the first
1174 as-yet-unset SVSHAPE will be updated
1175 with the other operands in the instruction, and the REMAP
1176 SPR set.
1177 * If all 5 bits of `rmm` are set then both mi0 and mo1 use SVSHAPE0.
1178 * SVSTATE persistence bit is cleared
1179 * No other alterations to SVSTATE are carried out
1180
1181 Example 1: if rmm=0b00110 then SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1 are set up,
1182 and the REMAP SPR set so that mi1 uses SVSHAPE0 and mi2
1183 uses mi2. REMAP.SVme is also set to 0b00110, REMAP.mi1=0
1184 (SVSHAPE0) and REMAP.mi2=1 (SVSHAPE1)
1185
1186 Example 2: if rmm=0b10001 then again SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1
1187 are set up, but the REMAP SPR is set so that mi0 uses SVSHAPE0
1188 and mo1 uses SVSHAPE1. REMAP.SVme=0b10001, REMAP.mi0=0, REMAP.mo1=1
1189
1190 Rough algorithmic form:
1191
1192 ```
1193 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1194 idx = 0
1195 for bit = 0 to 4:
1196 if not rmm[bit]: continue
1197 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1198 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1199 idx = (idx+1) modulo 4
1200 ```
1201
1202 When `mm=1`:
1203
1204 * bits 0-2 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate an index selecting mi0-mo1
1205 * bits 3-4 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate which SVSHAPE 0-3 shall
1206 be updated
1207 * only the selected SVSHAPE is overwritten
1208 * only the relevant bits in the REMAP area of SVSTATE are updated
1209 * REMAP persistence bit is set.
1210
1211 Example 1: if `rmm`=0b01110 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b011 and
1212 bits 3-4 are 0b10. thus, mo0 is selected and SVSHAPE2
1213 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[3] will be set high and REMAP.mo0
1214 set to 2 (SVSHAPE2).
1215
1216 Example 2: if `rmm`=0b10011 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b100 and
1217 bits 3-4 are 0b11. thus, mo1 is selected and SVSHAPE3
1218 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[4] will be set high and REMAP.mo1
1219 set to 3 (SVSHAPE3).
1220
1221 Rough algorithmic form:
1222
1223 ```
1224 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1225 bit = rmm[0:2]
1226 idx = rmm[3:4]
1227 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1228 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1229 SVSTATE.pst = 1
1230 ```
1231
1232 In essence, `mm=0` is intended for use to set as much of the
1233 REMAP State SPRs as practical with a single instruction,
1234 whilst `mm=1` is intended to be a little more refined.
1235
1236 **Usage guidelines**
1237
1238 * **Disable 2D mapping**: to only perform Indexing without
1239 reordering use `SVd=1,sk=0,yx=0` (or set SVd to a value larger
1240 or equal to VL)
1241 * **Modulo 1D mapping**: to perform Indexing cycling through the
1242 first N Indices use `SVd=N,sk=0,yx=0` where `VL>N`. There is
1243 no requirement to set VL equal to a multiple of N.
1244 * **Modulo 2D transposed**: `SVd=M,sk=0,yx=1`, sets
1245 `xdim=M,ydim=CEIL(MAXVL/M)`.
1246
1247 Beyond these mappings it becomes necessary to write directly to
1248 the SVSTATE SPRs manually.

1330 `svshape2` is an additional convenience instruction that prioritises
1331 setting `SVSHAPE.offset`. Its primary purpose is for use when
1332 element-width overrides are used. It has identical capabilities to `svindex` and
1333 in terms of both options (skip, etc.) and ability to activate REMAP
1334 (rmm, mask mode) but unlike `svindex` it does not set GPR REMAP,
1335 only a 1D or 2D `svshape`, and
1336 unlike `svshape` it can set an arbirrary `SVSHAPE.offset` immediate.
1337
1338 One of the limitations of Simple-V is that Vector elements start on the boundary
1339 of the Scalar regfile, which is fine when element-width overrides are not
1340 needed. If the starting point of a Vector with smaller elwidths must begin
1341 in the middle of a register, normally there would be no way to do so except
1342 through LD/ST. `SVSHAPE.offset` caters for this scenario and `svshape2`is
1343 makes it easier.
1344
1345 **Operand Fields**:
1346
1347 * **offs** (4 bits) - unsigned offset
1348 * **yx** (1 bit) - swap XY to YX
1349 * **SVd** dimension size
1350 * **rmm** REMAP mask
1351 * **mm** mask mode
1352 * **sk** (1 bit) skips 1st dimension if set
1353
1354 Dimensions are calculated exactly as `svindex`. `rmm` and
1355 `mm` are as per `svindex`.
1356
1357 *Programmer's Note: offsets for `svshape2` may be specified in the range
1358 0-15. Given that the principle of Simple-V is to fit on top of
1359 byte-addressable register files and that GPR and FPR are 64-bit (8 bytes)
1360 it should be clear that the offset may, when `elwidth=8`, begin an
1361 element-level operation starting element zero at any arbitrary byte.
1362 On cursory examination attempting to go beyond the range 0-7 seems
1363 unnecessary given that the **next GPR or FPR** is an
1364 alias for an offset in the range 8-15. Thus by simply increasing
1365 the starting Vector point of the operation to the next register it
1366 can be seen that the offset of 0-7 would be sufficient. Unfortunately
1367 however some operations are EXTRA2-encoded it is **not possible**
1368 to increase the GPR/FPR register number by one, because EXTRA2-encoding
1369 of GPR/FPR Vector numbers are restricted to even numbering.
1370 For CR Fields the EXTRA2 encoding is even more sparse.
1371 The additional offset range (8-15) helps overcome these limitations.*
1372
1373 *Hardware Implementor's note: with the offsets only being immediates
1374 and with register numbering being entirely immediate as well it is
1375 possible to correctly compute Register Hazards without requiring
1376 reading the contents of any SPRs. If however there are
1377 instructions that have directly written to the SVSTATE or SVSHAPE
1378 SPRs and those instructions are still in-flight then this position
1379 is clearly **invalid**. This is why Programmers are strongly
1380 discouraged from directly writing to these SPRs.*
1381
1382 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: this instruction shares
1383 the space of `svshape`. Therefore it is critical that the two
1384 instructions, `svshape` and `svshape2` have the exact same XO
1385 in bits 26 thru 31. It is also critical that for `svshape2`,
1386 bit 21 of XO is a 1, bit 22 of XO is a 0, and bit 23 of XO is a 0.*
