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 (a RISC-paradigm
19 abstracted analog to `xxperm`).
20
21 REMAP allows the usual sequential vector loop `0..VL-1` to be "reshaped"
22 (re-mapped) from a linear form to a 2D or 3D transposed form, or "offset"
23 to permit arbitrary access to elements (when elwidth overrides are
24 used), independently on each Vector src or dest register. Aside from
25 Indexed REMAP this is entirely Hardware-accelerated reordering and
26 consequently not costly in terms of register access. It will however
27 place a burden on Multi-Issue systems but no more than if the equivalent
28 Scalar instructions were explicitly loop-unrolled without SVP64, and
29 some advanced implementations may even find the Deterministic nature of
30 the Scheduling to be easier on resources.
31
32 The initial primary motivation of REMAP was for Matrix Multiplication,
33 reordering of sequential data in-place: in-place DCT and FFT were
34 easily justified given the exceptionally high usage in Computer Science.
35 Four SPRs are provided which may be applied to any GPR, FPR or CR Field so
36 that for example a single FMAC may be used in a single hardware-controlled
37 100% Deterministic loop to perform 5x3 times 3x4 Matrix multiplication,
38 generating 60 FMACs *without needing explicit assembler unrolling*.
39 Additional uses include regular "Structure Packing" such as RGB pixel
40 data extraction and reforming (although less costly vec2/3/4 reshaping
41 is achievable with `PACK/UNPACK`).
42
43 Even once designed as an independent RISC-paradigm abstraction system
44 it was realised that Matrix REMAP could be applied to min/max instructions to
45 achieve Floyd-Warshall Graph computations, or to AND/OR Ternary
46 bitmanipulation to compute Warshall Transitive Closure, or
47 to perform Cryptographic Matrix operations with Galois Field
48 variants of Multiply-Accumulate and many more uses expected to be
49 discovered. This *without
50 adding actual explicit Vector opcodes for any of the same*.
51
52 Thus it should be very clear:
53 REMAP, like all of SV, is abstracted out, meaning that unlike traditional
54 Vector ISAs which would typically only have a limited set of instructions
55 that can be structure-packed (LD/ST and Move operations
56 being the most common), REMAP may be applied to
57 literally any instruction: CRs, Arithmetic, Logical, LD/ST, even
58 Vectorised Branch-Conditional.
59
60 When SUBVL is greater than 1 a given group of Subvector
61 elements are kept together: effectively the group becomes the
62 element, and with REMAP applying to elements
63 (not sub-elements) each group is REMAPed together.
64 Swizzle *can* however be applied to the same
65 instruction as REMAP, providing re-sequencing of
66 Subvector elements which REMAP cannot. Also as explained in [[sv/mv.swizzle]], [[sv/mv.vec]] and the [[svp64/appendix]], Pack and Unpack Mode bits
67 can extend down into Sub-vector elements to influence vec2/vec3/vec4
68 sequential reordering, but even here, REMAP reordering is not *individually*
69 extended down to the actual sub-vector elements themselves.
70 This keeps the relevant Predicate Mask bit applicable to the Subvector
71 group, just as it does when REMAP is not active.
72
73 In its general form, REMAP is quite expensive to set up, and on some
74 implementations may introduce latency, so should realistically be used
75 only where it is worthwhile. Given that even with latency the fact
76 that up to 127 operations can be Deterministically issued (from a single
77 instruction) it should be clear that REMAP should not be dismissed
78 for *possible* latency alone. Commonly-used patterns such as Matrix
79 Multiply, DCT and FFT have helper instruction options which make REMAP
80 easier to use.
81
82 *Future specification note: future versions of the REMAP Management instructions
83 will extend to EXT1xx Prefixed variants. This will overcome some of the limitations
84 present in the 32-bit variants of the REMAP Management instructions that at
85 present require direct writing to SVSHAPE0-3 SPRs. Additional
86 REMAP Modes may also be introduced at that time.*
87
88 There are four types of REMAP:
89
90 * **Matrix**, also known as 2D and 3D reshaping, can perform in-place
91 Matrix transpose and rotate. The Shapes are set up for an "Outer Product"
92 Matrix Multiply.
93 * **FFT/DCT**, with full triple-loop in-place support: limited to
94 Power-2 RADIX
95 * **Indexing**, for any general-purpose reordering, also includes
96 limited 2D reshaping as well as Element "offsetting".
97 * **Parallel Reduction**, for scheduling a sequence of operations
98 in a Deterministic fashion, in a way that may be parallelised,
99 to reduce a Vector down to a single value.
100
101 Best implemented on top of a Multi-Issue Out-of-Order Micro-architecture,
102 REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic **including Indexing** and are
103 designed to be incorporated in between the Decode and Issue phases,
104 directly into Register Hazard Management.
105
106 As long as the SVSHAPE SPRs
107 are not written to directly, Hardware may treat REMAP as 100%
108 Deterministic: all REMAP Management instructions take static
109 operands (no dynamic register operands)
110 with the exception of Indexed Mode, and even then
111 Architectural State is permitted to assume that the Indices
112 are cacheable from the point at which the `svindex` instruction
113 is executed.
114
115 Parallel Reduction is unusual in that it requires a full vector array
116 of results (not a scalar) and uses the rest of the result Vector for
117 the purposes of storing intermediary calculations. As these intermediary
118 results are Deterministically computed they may be useful.
119 Additionally, because the intermediate results are always written out
120 it is possible to service Precise Interrupts without affecting latency
121 (a common limitation of Vector ISAs implementing explicit
122 Parallel Reduction instructions, because their Architectural State cannot
123 hold the partial results).
124
125 ## Basic principle
126
127 The following illustrates why REMAP was added.
128
129 * normal vector element read/write of operands would be sequential
130 (0 1 2 3 ....)
131 * this is not appropriate for (e.g.) Matrix multiply which requires
132 accessing elements in alternative sequences (0 3 6 1 4 7 ...)
133 * normal Vector ISAs use either Indexed-MV or Indexed-LD/ST to "cope"
134 with this. both are expensive (copy large vectors, spill through memory)
135 and very few Packed SIMD ISAs cope with non-Power-2
136 (Duplicate-data inline-loop-unrolling is the costly solution)
137 * REMAP **redefines** the order of access according to set
138 (Deterministic) "Schedules".
139 * Matrix Schedules are not at all restricted to power-of-two boundaries
140 making it unnecessary to have for example specialised 3x4 transpose
141 instructions of other Vector ISAs.
142 * DCT and FFT REMAP are RADIX-2 limited but this is the case in existing Packed/Predicated
143 SIMD ISAs anyway (and Bluestein Convolution is typically deployed to
144 solve that).
145
146 Only the most commonly-used algorithms in computer science have REMAP
147 support, due to the high cost in both the ISA and in hardware. For
148 arbitrary remapping the `Indexed` REMAP may be used.
149
150 ## Example Usage
151
152 * `svshape` to set the type of reordering to be applied to an
153 otherwise usual `0..VL-1` hardware for-loop
154 * `svremap` to set which registers a given reordering is to apply to
155 (RA, RT etc)
156 * `sv.{instruction}` where any Vectorised register marked by `svremap`
157 will have its ordering REMAPPED according to the schedule set
158 by `svshape`.
159
160 The following illustrative example multiplies a 3x4 and a 5x3
161 matrix to create
162 a 5x4 result:
163
164 ```
165 svshape 5,4,3,0,0 # Outer Product 5x4 by 4x3
166 svremap 15,1,2,3,0,0,0,0 # link Schedule to registers
167 sv.fmadds *0,*32,*64,*0 # 60 FMACs get executed here
168 ```
169
170 * svshape sets up the four SVSHAPE SPRS for a Matrix Schedule
171 * svremap activates four out of five registers RA RB RC RT RS (15)
172 * svremap requests:
173 - RA to use SVSHAPE1
174 - RB to use SVSHAPE2
175 - RC to use SVSHAPE3
176 - RT to use SVSHAPE0
177 - RS Remapping to not be activated
178 * sv.fmadds has vectors RT=0, RA=32, RB=64, RC=0
179 * With REMAP being active each register's element index is
180 *independently* transformed using the specified SHAPEs.
181
182 Thus the Vector Loop is arranged such that the use of
183 the multiply-and-accumulate instruction executes precisely the required
184 Schedule to perform an in-place in-registers Outer Product
185 Matrix Multiply with no
186 need to perform additional Transpose or register copy instructions.
187 The example above may be executed as a unit test and demo,
188 [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)
189
190 *Hardware Architectural note: with the Scheduling applying as a Phase between
191 Decode and Issue in a Deterministic fashion the Register Hazards may be
192 easily computed and a standard Out-of-Order Micro-Architecture exploited to good
193 effect. Even an In-Order system may observe that for large Outer Product
194 Schedules there will be no stalls, but if the Matrices are particularly
195 small size an In-Order system would have to stall, just as it would if
196 the operations were loop-unrolled without Simple-V. Thus: regardless
197 of the Micro-Architecture the Hardware Engineer should first consider
198 how best to process the exact same equivalent loop-unrolled instruction
199 stream.*
200
201 ## REMAP types
202
203 This section summarises the motivation for each REMAP Schedule
204 and briefly goes over their characteristics and limitations.
205 Further details on the Deterministic Precise-Interruptible algorithms
206 used in these Schedules is found in the [[sv/remap/appendix]].
207
208 ### Matrix (1D/2D/3D shaping)
209
210 Matrix Multiplication is a huge part of High-Performance Compute,
211 and 3D.
212 In many PackedSIMD as well as Scalable Vector ISAs, non-power-of-two
213 Matrix sizes are a serious challenge. PackedSIMD ISAs, in order to
214 cope with for example 3x4 Matrices, recommend rolling data-repetition and loop-unrolling.
215 Aside from the cost of the load on the L1 I-Cache, the trick only
216 works if one of the dimensions X or Y are power-two. Prime Numbers
217 (5x7, 3x5) become deeply problematic to unroll.
218
219 Even traditional Scalable Vector ISAs have issues with Matrices, often
220 having to perform data Transpose by pushing out through Memory and back
221 (costly),
222 or computing Transposition Indices (costly) then copying to another
223 Vector (costly).
224
225 Matrix REMAP was thus designed to solve these issues by providing Hardware
226 Assisted
227 "Schedules" that can view what would otherwise be limited to a strictly
228 linear Vector as instead being 2D (even 3D) *in-place* reordered.
229 With both Transposition and non-power-two being supported the issues
230 faced by other ISAs are mitigated.
231
232 Limitations of Matrix REMAP are that the Vector Length (VL) is currently
233 restricted to 127: up to 127 FMAs (or other operation)
234 may be performed in total.
235 Also given that it is in-registers only at present some care has to be
236 taken on regfile resource utilisation. However it is perfectly possible
237 to utilise Matrix REMAP to perform the three inner-most "kernel" loops of
238 the usual 6-level "Tiled" large Matrix Multiply, without the usual
239 difficulties associated with SIMD.
240
241 Also the `svshape` instruction only provides access to part of the
242 Matrix REMAP capability. Rotation and mirroring need to be done by
243 programming the SVSHAPE SPRs directly, which can take a lot more
244 instructions. Future versions of SVP64 will include EXT1xx prefixed
245 variants (`psvshape`) which provide more comprehensive capacity and
246 mitigate the need to write direct to the SVSHAPE SPRs.
247
248 ### FFT/DCT Triple Loop
249
250 DCT and FFT are some of the most astonishingly used algorithms in
251 Computer Science. Radar, Audio, Video, R.F. Baseband and dozens more. At least
252 two DSPs, TMS320 and Hexagon, have VLIW instructions specially tailored
253 to FFT.
254
255 An in-depth analysis showed that it is possible to do in-place in-register
256 DCT and FFT as long as twin-result "butterfly" instructions are provided.
257 These can be found in the [[openpower/isa/svfparith]] page if performing
258 IEEE754 FP transforms. *(For fixed-point transforms, equivalent 3-in 2-out
259 integer operations would be required)*. These "butterfly" instructions
260 avoid the need for a temporary register because the two array positions
261 being overwritten will be "in-flight" in any In-Order or Out-of-Order
262 micro-architecture.
263
264 DCT and FFT Schedules are currently limited to RADIX2 sizes and do not
265 accept predicate masks. Given that it is common to perform recursive
266 convolutions combining smaller Power-2 DCT/FFT to create larger DCT/FFTs
267 in practice the RADIX2 limit is not a problem. A Bluestein convolution
268 to compute arbitrary length is demonstrated by
269 [Project Nayuki](https://www.nayuki.io/res/free-small-fft-in-multiple-languages/fft.py)
270
271 ### Indexed
272
273 The purpose of Indexing is to provide a generalised version of
274 Vector ISA "Permute" instructions, such as VSX `vperm`. The
275 Indexing is abstracted out and may be applied to much more
276 than an element move/copy, and is not limited for example
277 to the number of bytes that can fit into a VSX register.
278 Indexing may be applied to LD/ST (even on Indexed LD/ST
279 instructions such as `sv.lbzx`), arithmetic operations,
280 extsw: there is no artificial limit.
281
282 The only major caveat is that the registers to be used as
283 Indices must not be modified by any instruction after Indexed Mode
284 is established, and neither must MAXVL be altered. Additionally,
285 no register used as an Index may exceed MAXVL-1.
286
287 Failure to observe
288 these conditions results in `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
289 These conditions allow a Read-After-Write (RAW) Hazard to be created on
290 the entire range of Indices to be subsequently used, but a corresponding
291 Write-After-Read Hazard by any instruction that modifies the Indices
292 **does not have to be created**. Given the large number of registers
293 involved in Indexing this is a huge resource saving and reduction
294 in micro-architectural complexity. MAXVL is likewise
295 included in the RAW Hazards because it is involved in calculating
296 how many registers are to be considered Indices.
297
298 With these Hazard Mitigations in place, high-performance implementations
299 may read-cache the Indices at the point where a given `svindex` instruction
300 is called (or SVSHAPE SPRs - and MAXVL - directly altered) by issuing
301 background GPR register file reads whilst other instructions are being
302 issued and executed.
303
304 The original motivation for Indexed REMAP was to mitigate the need to add
305 an expensive `mv.x` to the Scalar ISA, which was likely to be rejected as
306 a stand-alone instruction
307 (`GPR(RT) <- GPR(GPR(RA))`). Usually a Vector ISA would add a non-conflicting
308 variant (as in VSX `vperm`) but it is common to need to permute by source,
309 with the risk of conflict, that has to be resolved, for example, in AVX-512
310 with `conflictd`.
311
312 Indexed REMAP on the other hand **does not prevent conflicts** (overlapping
313 destinations), which on a superficial analysis may be perceived to be a
314 problem, until it is recalled that, firstly, Simple-V is designed specifically
315 to require Program Order to be respected, and that Matrix, DCT and FFT
316 all *already* critically depend on overlapping Reads/Writes: Matrix
317 uses overlapping registers as accumulators. Thus the Register Hazard
318 Management needed by Indexed REMAP *has* to be in place anyway.
319
320 The cost compared to Matrix and other REMAPs (and Pack/Unpack) is
321 clearly that of the additional reading of the GPRs to be used as Indices,
322 plus the setup cost associated with creating those same Indices.
323 If any Deterministic REMAP can cover the required task, clearly it
324 is adviseable to use it instead.
325
326 *Programmer's note: some algorithms may require skipping of Indices exceeding
327 VL-1, not MAXVL-1. This may be achieved programmatically by performing
328 an `sv.cmp *BF,*RA,RB` where RA is the same GPRs used in the Indexed REMAP,
329 and RB contains the value of VL returned from `setvl`. The resultant
330 CR Fields may then be used as Predicate Masks to exclude those operations
331 with an Index exceeding VL-1.*
332
333 ### Parallel Reduction
334
335 Vector Reduce Mode issues a deterministic tree-reduction schedule to the underlying micro-architecture. Like Scalar reduction, the "Scalar Base"
336 (Power ISA v3.0B) operation is leveraged, unmodified, to give the
337 *appearance* and *effect* of Reduction.
338
339 In Horizontal-First Mode, Vector-result reduction **requires**
340 the destination to be a Vector, which will be used to store
341 intermediary results, in order to achieve a correct final
342 result.
343
344 Given that the tree-reduction schedule is deterministic,
345 Interrupts and exceptions
346 can therefore also be precise. The final result will be in the first
347 non-predicate-masked-out destination element, but due again to
348 the deterministic schedule programmers may find uses for the intermediate
349 results.
350
351 When Rc=1 a corresponding Vector of co-resultant CRs is also
352 created. No special action is taken: the result *and its CR Field*
353 are stored "as usual" exactly as all other SVP64 Rc=1 operations.
354
355 Note that the Schedule only makes sense on top of certain instructions:
356 X-Form with a Register Profile of `RT,RA,RB` is fine because two sources
357 and the destination are all the same type. Like Scalar
358 Reduction, nothing is prohibited:
359 the results of execution on an unsuitable instruction may simply
360 not make sense. With care, even 3-input instructions (madd, fmadd, ternlogi)
361 may be used, and whilst it is down to the Programmer to walk through the
362 process the Programmer can be confident that the Parallel-Reduction is
363 guaranteed 100% Deterministic.
364
365 Critical to note regarding use of Parallel-Reduction REMAP is that,
366 exactly as with all REMAP Modes, the `svshape` instruction *requests*
367 a certain Vector Length (number of elements to reduce) and then
368 sets VL and MAXVL at the number of **operations** needed to be
369 carried out. Thus, equally as importantly, like Matrix REMAP
370 the total number of operations
371 is restricted to 127. Any Parallel-Reduction requiring more operations
372 will need to be done manually in batches (hierarchical
373 recursive Reduction).
374
375 Also important to note is that the Deterministic Schedule is arranged
376 so that some implementations *may* parallelise it (as long as doing so
377 respects Program Order and Register Hazards). Performance (speed)
378 of any given
379 implementation is neither strictly defined or guaranteed. As with
380 the Vulkan(tm) Specification, strict compliance is paramount whilst
381 performance is at the discretion of Implementors.
382
383 **Parallel-Reduction with Predication**
384
385 To avoid breaking the strict RISC-paradigm, keeping the Issue-Schedule
386 completely separate from the actual element-level (scalar) operations,
387 Move operations are **not** included in the Schedule. This means that
388 the Schedule leaves the final (scalar) result in the first-non-masked
389 element of the Vector used. With the predicate mask being dynamic
390 (but deterministic) this result could be anywhere.
391
392 If that result is needed to be moved to a (single) scalar register
393 then a follow-up `sv.mv/sm=predicate rt, *ra` instruction will be
394 needed to get it, where the predicate is the exact same predicate used
395 in the prior Parallel-Reduction instruction.
396
397 * If there was only a single
398 bit in the predicate then the result will not have moved or been altered
399 from the source vector prior to the Reduction
400 * If there was more than one bit the result will be in the
401 first element with a predicate bit set.
402
403 In either case the result is in the element with the first bit set in
404 the predicate mask. Thus, no move/copy *within the Reduction itself* was needed.
405
406 Programmer's Note: For *some* hardware implementations
407 the vector-to-scalar copy may be a slow operation, as may the Predicated
408 Parallel Reduction itself.
409 It may be better to perform a pre-copy
410 of the values, compressing them (VREDUCE-style) into a contiguous block,
411 which will guarantee that the result goes into the very first element
412 of the destination vector, in which case clearly no follow-up
413 predicated vector-to-scalar MV operation is needed. A VREDUCE effect
414 is achieved by setting just a source predicate mask on Twin-Predicated
415 operations.
416
417 **Usage conditions**
418
419 The simplest usage is to perform an overwrite, specifying all three
420 register operands the same.
421
422 ```
423 svshape parallelreduce, 6
424 sv.add *8, *8, *8
425 ```
426
427 The Reduction Schedule will issue the Parallel Tree Reduction spanning
428 registers 8 through 13, by adjusting the offsets to RT, RA and RB as
429 necessary (see "Parallel Reduction algorithm" in a later section).
430
431 A non-overwrite is possible as well but just as with the overwrite
432 version, only those destination elements necessary for storing
433 intermediary computations will be written to: the remaining elements
434 will **not** be overwritten and will **not** be zero'd.
435
436 ```
437 svshape parallelreduce, 6
438 sv.add *0, *8, *8
439 ```
440
441 However it is critical to note that if the source and destination are
442 not the same then the trick of using a follow-up vector-scalar MV will
443 not work.
444
445 ### Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction
446
447 To achieve Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction, Pack/Unpack should be enabled,
448 which will turn the Schedule around such that issuing of the Scalar
449 Defined Words is done with SUBVL looping as the inner loop not the
450 outer loop. Rc=1 with Sub-Vectors (SUBVL=2,3,4) is `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
451
452 ## Determining Register Hazards
453
454 For high-performance (Multi-Issue, Out-of-Order) systems it is critical
455 to be able to statically determine the extent of Vectors in order to
456 allocate pre-emptive Hazard protection. The next task is to eliminate
457 masked-out elements using predicate bits, freeing up the associated
458 Hazards.
459
460 For non-REMAP situations `VL` is sufficient to ascertain early
461 Hazard coverage, and with SVSTATE being a high priority cached
462 quantity at the same level of MSR and PC this is not a problem.
463
464 The problems come when REMAP is enabled. Indexed REMAP must instead
465 use `MAXVL` as the earliest (simplest)
466 batch-level Hazard Reservation indicator (after taking element-width
467 overriding on the Index source into consideration),
468 but Matrix, FFT and Parallel Reduction must all use completely different
469 schemes. The reason is that VL is used to step through the total
470 number of *operations*, not the number of registers.
471 The "Saving Grace" is that all of the REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic.
472
473 Advance-notice Parallel computation and subsequent cacheing
474 of all of these complex Deterministic REMAP Schedules is
475 *strongly recommended*, thus allowing clear and precise multi-issue
476 batched Hazard coverage to be deployed, *even for Indexed Mode*.
477 This is only possible for Indexed due to the strict guidelines
478 given to Programmers.
479
480 In short, there exists solutions to the problem of Hazard Management,
481 with varying degrees of refinement possible at correspondingly
482 increasing levels of complexity in hardware.
483
484 A reminder: when Rc=1 each result register (element) has an associated
485 co-result CR Field (one per result element). Thus above when determining
486 the Write-Hazards for result registers the corresponding Write-Hazards for the
487 corresponding associated co-result CR Field must not be forgotten, *including* when
488 Predication is used.

490 ## REMAP area of SVSTATE SPR
491
492 The following bits of the SVSTATE SPR are used for REMAP:
493
494 ```
495 |32:33|34:35|36:37|38:39|40:41| 42:46 | 62 |
496 | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | ----- | ------ |
497 |mi0 |mi1 |mi2 |mo0 |mo1 | SVme | RMpst |
498 ```
499
500 mi0-2 and mo0-1 each select SVSHAPE0-3 to apply to a given register.
501 mi0-2 apply to RA, RB, RC respectively, as input registers, and
502 likewise mo0-1 apply to output registers (RT/FRT, RS/FRS) respectively.
503 SVme is 5 bits (one for each of mi0-2/mo0-1) and indicates whether the
504 SVSHAPE is actively applied or not.
505
506 * bit 0 of SVme indicates if mi0 is applied to RA / FRA / BA / BFA
507 * bit 1 of SVme indicates if mi1 is applied to RB / FRB / BB
508 * bit 2 of SVme indicates if mi2 is applied to RC / FRC / BC
509 * bit 3 of SVme indicates if mo0 is applied to RT / FRT / BT / BF
510 * bit 4 of SVme indicates if mo1 is applied to Effective Address / FRS / RS
511 (LD/ST-with-update has an implicit 2nd write register, RA)
512
513 The "persistence" bit if set will result in all Active REMAPs being applied
514 indefinitely.

544
545 Special Registers Altered:
546
547 ```
548 SVSTATE
549 ```
550
551 `svremap` determines the relationship between registers and SVSHAPE SPRs.
552 The bitmask `SVme` determines which registers have a REMAP applied, and mi0-mo1
553 determine which shape is applied to an activated register. the `pst` bit if
554 cleared indicated that the REMAP operation shall only apply to the immediately-following
555 instruction. If set then REMAP remains permanently enabled until such time as it is
556 explicitly disabled, either by `setvl` setting a new MAXVL, or with another
557 `svremap` instruction. `svindex` and `svshape2` are also capable of setting or
558 clearing persistence, as well as partially covering a subset of the capability of
559 `svremap` to set register-to-SVSHAPE relationships.
560
561 Programmer's Note: applying non-persistent `svremap` to an instruction that has
562 no REMAP enabled or is a Scalar operation will obviously have no effect but
563 the bits 32 to 46 will at least have been set in SVSTATE. This may prove useful
564 when using `svindex` or `svshape2`.
565
566 Hardware Architectural Note: when persistence is not set it is critically important
567 to treat the `svremap` and the following SVP64 instruction as an indivisible fused operation.
568 *No state* is stored in the SVSTATE SPR in order to allow continuation should an
569 Interrupt occur between the two instructions. Thus, Interrupts must be prohibited
570 from occurring or other workaround deployed. When persistence is set this issue
571 is moot.
572
573 It is critical to note that if persistence is clear then `svremap` is the *only* way
574 to activate REMAP on any given (following) instruction. If persistence is set however then
575 **all** SVP64 instructions go through REMAP as long as `SVme` is non-zero.

581 # SHAPE Remapping SPRs
582
583 There are four "shape" SPRs, SHAPE0-3, 32-bits in each,
584 which have the same format.
585
586 Shape is 32-bits. When SHAPE is set entirely to zeros, remapping is
587 disabled: the register's elements are a linear (1D) vector.
588
589 |31.30|29..28 |27..24| 23..21 | 20..18 | 17..12 |11..6 |5..0 | Mode |
590 |---- |------ |------| ------ | ------- | ------- |----- |----- | ----- |
591 |mode |skip |offset| invxyz | permute | zdimsz |ydimsz|xdimsz|Matrix |
592 |0b00 |elwidth|offset|sk1/invxy|0b110/0b111|SVGPR|ydimsz|xdimsz|Indexed|
593 |0b01 |submode|offset| invxyz | submode2| zdimsz |mode |xdimsz|DCT/FFT|
594 |0b10 |submode|offset| invxyz | rsvd | rsvd |rsvd |xdimsz|Preduce|
595 |0b11 | | | | | | | |rsvd |
596
597 mode sets different behaviours (straight matrix multiply, FFT, DCT).
598
599 * **mode=0b00** sets straight Matrix Mode
600 * **mode=0b00** with permute=0b110 or 0b111 sets Indexed Mode
601 * **mode=0b01** sets "FFT/DCT" mode and activates submodes
602 * **mode=0b10** sets "Parallel Reduction" Schedules.
603
604 ## Parallel Reduction Mode
605
606 Creates the Schedules for Parallel Tree Reduction.
607
608 * **submode=0b00** selects the left operand index
609 * **submode=0b01** selects the right operand index
610
611 * When bit 0 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the indices
612 in the inner for-loop are reversed. This has the side-effect
613 of placing the final reduced result in the last-predicated element.
614 It also has the indirect side-effect of swapping the source
615 registers: Left-operand index numbers will always exceed
616 Right-operand indices.
617 When clear, the reduced result will be in the first-predicated
618 element, and Left-operand indices will always be *less* than
619 Right-operand ones.
620 * When bit 1 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the outer loop
621 step is inverted: stepping begins at the nearest power-of two
622 to half of the vector length and reduces by half each time.
623 When clear the step will begin at 2 and double on each
624 inner loop.
625
626 ## FFT/DCT mode
627
628 submode2=0 is for FFT. For FFT submode the following schedules may be
629 selected:
630
631 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop
632 of Tukey-Cooley
633 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop
634 of Tukey-Cooley
635 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``k`` of exptable (which coefficient)
636
637 When submode2 is 1 or 2, for DCT inner butterfly submode the following
638 schedules may be selected. When submode2 is 1, additional bit-reversing
639 is also performed.
640
641 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
642 in-place
643 * **submode=0b010** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
644 in reverse-order, in-place
645 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``ci`` count of the innermost for-loop,
646 useful for calculating the cosine coefficient
647 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``size`` offset of the outermost for-loop,
648 useful for the cosine coefficient ``cos(ci + 0.5) * pi / size``
649
650 When submode2 is 3 or 4, for DCT outer butterfly submode the following
651 schedules may be selected. When submode is 3, additional bit-reversing
652 is also performed.
653
654 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
655 * **submode=0b01** selects the ``j+1`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
656
657 `zdimsz` is used as an in-place "Stride", particularly useful for
658 column-based in-place DCT/FFT.
659
660 ## Matrix Mode
661
662 In Matrix Mode, skip allows dimensions to be skipped from being included
663 in the resultant output index. this allows sequences to be repeated:
664 ```0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 ...``` or in the case of skip=0b11 this results in
665 modulo ```0 1 2 0 1 2 ...```
666
667 * **skip=0b00** indicates no dimensions to be skipped
668 * **skip=0b01** sets "skip 1st dimension"
669 * **skip=0b10** sets "skip 2nd dimension"
670 * **skip=0b11** sets "skip 3rd dimension"
671
672 invxyz will invert the start index of each of x, y or z. If invxyz[0] is
673 zero then x-dimensional counting begins from 0 and increments, otherwise
674 it begins from xdimsz-1 and iterates down to zero. Likewise for y and z.
675
676 offset will have the effect of offsetting the result by ```offset``` elements:
677
678 ```
679 for i in 0..VL-1:
680 GPR(RT + remap(i) + SVSHAPE.offset) = ....
681 ```
682
683 this appears redundant because the register RT could simply be changed by a compiler, until element width overrides are introduced. also
684 bear in mind that unlike a static compiler SVSHAPE.offset may
685 be set dynamically at runtime.
686
687 xdimsz, ydimsz and zdimsz are offset by 1, such that a value of 0 indicates
688 that the array dimensionality for that dimension is 1. any dimension
689 not intended to be used must have its value set to 0 (dimensionality
690 of 1). A value of xdimsz=2 would indicate that in the first dimension
691 there are 3 elements in the array. For example, to create a 2D array
692 X,Y of dimensionality X=3 and Y=2, set xdimsz=2, ydimsz=1 and zdimsz=0
693
694 The format of the array is therefore as follows:
695
696 ```
697 array[xdimsz+1][ydimsz+1][zdimsz+1]
698 ```
699
700 However whilst illustrative of the dimensionality, that does not take the
701 "permute" setting into account. "permute" may be any one of six values
702 (0-5, with values of 6 and 7 indicating "Indexed" Mode). The table
703 below shows how the permutation dimensionality order works:
704
705 | permute | order | array format |
706 | ------- | ----- | ------------------------ |
707 | 000 | 0,1,2 | (xdim+1)(ydim+1)(zdim+1) |
708 | 001 | 0,2,1 | (xdim+1)(zdim+1)(ydim+1) |
709 | 010 | 1,0,2 | (ydim+1)(xdim+1)(zdim+1) |
710 | 011 | 1,2,0 | (ydim+1)(zdim+1)(xdim+1) |
711 | 100 | 2,0,1 | (zdim+1)(xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
712 | 101 | 2,1,0 | (zdim+1)(ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
713 | 110 | 0,1 | Indexed (xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
714 | 111 | 1,0 | Indexed (ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
715
716 In other words, the "permute" option changes the order in which
717 nested for-loops over the array would be done. See executable
718 python reference code for further details.
719
720 *Note: permute=0b110 and permute=0b111 enable Indexed REMAP Mode,
721 described below*
722
723 With all these options it is possible to support in-place transpose,
724 in-place rotate, Matrix Multiply and Convolutions, without being
725 limited to Power-of-Two dimension sizes.
726
727 ## Indexed Mode
728
729 Indexed Mode activates reading of the element indices from the GPR
730 and includes optional limited 2D reordering.
731 In its simplest form (without elwidth overrides or other modes):
732
733 ```
734 def index_remap(i):
735 return GPR((SVSHAPE.SVGPR<<1)+i) + SVSHAPE.offset
736
737 for i in 0..VL-1:
738 element_result = ....
739 GPR(RT + indexed_remap(i)) = element_result
740 ```
741
742 With element-width overrides included, and using the pseudocode
743 from the SVP64 [[sv/svp64/appendix#elwidth]] elwidth section
744 this becomes:
745
746 ```
747 def index_remap(i):
748 svreg = SVSHAPE.SVGPR << 1
749 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(SVSHAPE.elwid)
750 offs = SVSHAPE.offset
751 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, i) + offs
752
753 for i in 0..VL-1:
754 element_result = ....
755 rt_idx = indexed_remap(i)
756 set_polymorphed_reg(RT, destwid, rt_idx, element_result)
757 ```
758
759 Matrix-style reordering still applies to the indices, except limited
760 to up to 2 Dimensions (X,Y). Ordering is therefore limited to (X,Y) or
761 (Y,X) for in-place Transposition.
762 Only one dimension may optionally be skipped. Inversion of either
763 X or Y or both is possible (2D mirroring). Pseudocode for Indexed Mode (including elwidth
764 overrides) may be written in terms of Matrix Mode, specifically
765 purposed to ensure that the 3rd dimension (Z) has no effect:
766
767 ```
768 def index_remap(ISHAPE, i):
769 MSHAPE.skip = 0b0 || ISHAPE.sk1
770 MSHAPE.invxyz = 0b0 || ISHAPE.invxy
771 MSHAPE.xdimsz = ISHAPE.xdimsz
772 MSHAPE.ydimsz = ISHAPE.ydimsz
773 MSHAPE.zdimsz = 0 # disabled
774 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b110 # 0,1
775 MSHAPE.permute = 0b000 # 0,1,2
776 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b111 # 1,0
777 MSHAPE.permute = 0b010 # 1,0,2
778 el_idx = remap_matrix(MSHAPE, i)
779 svreg = ISHAPE.SVGPR << 1
780 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(ISHAPE.elwid)
781 offs = ISHAPE.offset
782 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, el_idx) + offs
783 ```
784
785 The most important observation above is that the Matrix-style
786 remapping occurs first and the Index lookup second. Thus it
787 becomes possible to perform in-place Transpose of Indices which
788 may have been costly to set up or costly to duplicate
789 (waste register file space).

1034 `svshape` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction
1035 count for common usage patterns, particularly Matrix, DCT and FFT. It sets up
1036 (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE SPRs and also modifies SVSTATE
1037 including VL and MAXVL. Using `svshape` therefore does not also
1038 require `setvl`.
1039
1040 Fields:
1041
1042 * **SVxd** - SV REMAP "xdim"
1043 * **SVyd** - SV REMAP "ydim"
1044 * **SVzd** - SV REMAP "zdim"
1045 * **SVRM** - SV REMAP Mode (0b00000 for Matrix, 0b00001 for FFT etc.)
1046 * **vf** - sets "Vertical-First" mode
1047 * **XO** - standard 6-bit XO field
1048
1049 *Note: SVxd, SVyz and SVzd are all stored "off-by-one". In the assembler
1050 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*
1051
1052 There are 12 REMAP Modes (2 Modes are RESERVED for `svshape2`, 2 Modes
1053 are RESERVED)
1054
1055 | SVRM | Remap Mode description |
1056 | -- | -- |
1057 | 0b0000 | Matrix 1/2/3D |
1058 | 0b0001 | FFT Butterfly |
1059 | 0b0010 | reserved |
1060 | 0b0011 | DCT Outer butterfly |
1061 | 0b0100 | DCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1062 | 0b0101 | DCT COS table index generation |
1063 | 0b0110 | DCT half-swap |
1064 | 0b0111 | Parallel Reduction |
1065 | 0b1000 | reserved for svshape2 |
1066 | 0b1001 | reserved for svshape2 |
1067 | 0b1010 | reserved |
1068 | 0b1011 | iDCT Outer butterfly |
1069 | 0b1100 | iDCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1070 | 0b1101 | iDCT COS table index generation |
1071 | 0b1110 | iDCT half-swap |
1072 | 0b1111 | FFT half-swap |
1073
1074 Examples showing how all of these Modes operate exists in the online
1075 [SVP64 unit tests](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa;hb=HEAD). Explaining
1076 these Modes further in detail is beyond the scope of this document.
1077
1078 In Indexed Mode, there are only 5 bits available to specify the GPR
1079 to use, out of 128 GPRs (7 bit numbering). Therefore, only the top
1080 5 bits are given in the `SVxd` field: the bottom two implicit bits
1081 will be zero (`SVxd || 0b00`).
1082
1083 `svshape` has *limited applicability* due to being a 32-bit instruction.
1084 The full capability of SVSHAPE SPRs may be accessed by directly writing
1085 to SVSHAPE0-3 with `mtspr`. Circumstances include Matrices with dimensions
1086 larger than 32, and in-place Transpose. Potentially a future v3.1 Prefixed
1087 instruction, `psvshape`, may extend the capability here.
1088
1089 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: the SVRM field is carefully
1090 crafted to allocate two Modes, corresponding to bits 21-23 within the
1091 instruction being set to the value `0b100`, to `svshape2` (not
1092 `svshape`). These two Modes are
1093 considered "RESERVED" within the context of `svshape` but it is
1094 absolutely critical to allocate the exact same pattern in XO for
1095 both instructions in bits 26-31.*

1179 `svindex` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction count
1180 for Indexed REMAP Mode. It sets up (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE
1181 SPRs and **unlike** `svshape` can modify the REMAP area of the SVSTATE
1182 SPR as well, including setting persistence. The relevant SPRs *may*
1183 be directly programmed with `mtspr` however it is laborious to do so:
1184 svindex saves instructions covering much of Indexed REMAP capability.
1185
1186 Fields:
1187
1188 * **SVd** - SV REMAP x/y dim
1189 * **rmm** - REMAP mask: sets remap mi0-2/mo0-1 and SVSHAPEs,
1190 controlled by mm
1191 * **ew** - sets element width override on the Indices
1192 * **SVG** - GPR SVG<<2 to be used for Indexing
1193 * **yx** - 2D reordering to be used if yx=1
1194 * **mm** - mask mode. determines how `rmm` is interpreted.
1195 * **sk** - Dimension skipping enabled
1196
1197 *Note: SVd, like SVxd, SVyz and SVzd of `svshape`, are all stored
1198 "off-by-one". In the assembler
1199 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*.
1200
1201 *Note: when `yx=1,sk=0` the second dimension is calculated as
1202 `CEIL(MAXVL/SVd)`*.
1203
1204 When `mm=0`:
1205
1206 * `rmm`, like REMAP.SVme, has bit 0
1207 correspond to mi0, bit 1 to mi1, bit 2 to mi2,
1208 bit 3 to mo0 and bit 4 to mi1
1209 * all SVSHAPEs and the REMAP parts of SVSHAPE are first reset (initialised to zero)
1210 * for each bit set in the 5-bit `rmm`, in order, the first
1211 as-yet-unset SVSHAPE will be updated
1212 with the other operands in the instruction, and the REMAP
1213 SPR set.
1214 * If all 5 bits of `rmm` are set then both mi0 and mo1 use SVSHAPE0.
1215 * SVSTATE persistence bit is cleared
1216 * No other alterations to SVSTATE are carried out
1217
1218 Example 1: if rmm=0b00110 then SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1 are set up,
1219 and the REMAP SPR set so that mi1 uses SVSHAPE0 and mi2
1220 uses mi2. REMAP.SVme is also set to 0b00110, REMAP.mi1=0
1221 (SVSHAPE0) and REMAP.mi2=1 (SVSHAPE1)
1222
1223 Example 2: if rmm=0b10001 then again SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1
1224 are set up, but the REMAP SPR is set so that mi0 uses SVSHAPE0
1225 and mo1 uses SVSHAPE1. REMAP.SVme=0b10001, REMAP.mi0=0, REMAP.mo1=1
1226
1227 Rough algorithmic form:
1228
1229 ```
1230 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1231 idx = 0
1232 for bit = 0 to 4:
1233 if not rmm[bit]: continue
1234 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1235 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1236 idx = (idx+1) modulo 4
1237 ```
1238
1239 When `mm=1`:
1240
1241 * bits 0-2 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate an index selecting mi0-mo1
1242 * bits 3-4 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate which SVSHAPE 0-3 shall
1243 be updated
1244 * only the selected SVSHAPE is overwritten
1245 * only the relevant bits in the REMAP area of SVSTATE are updated
1246 * REMAP persistence bit is set.
1247
1248 Example 1: if `rmm`=0b01110 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b011 and
1249 bits 3-4 are 0b10. thus, mo0 is selected and SVSHAPE2
1250 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[3] will be set high and REMAP.mo0
1251 set to 2 (SVSHAPE2).
1252
1253 Example 2: if `rmm`=0b10011 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b100 and
1254 bits 3-4 are 0b11. thus, mo1 is selected and SVSHAPE3
1255 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[4] will be set high and REMAP.mo1
1256 set to 3 (SVSHAPE3).
1257
1258 Rough algorithmic form:
1259
1260 ```
1261 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1262 bit = rmm[0:2]
1263 idx = rmm[3:4]
1264 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1265 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1266 SVSTATE.pst = 1
1267 ```
1268
1269 In essence, `mm=0` is intended for use to set as much of the
1270 REMAP State SPRs as practical with a single instruction,
1271 whilst `mm=1` is intended to be a little more refined.
1272
1273 **Usage guidelines**
1274
1275 * **Disable 2D mapping**: to only perform Indexing without
1276 reordering use `SVd=1,sk=0,yx=0` (or set SVd to a value larger
1277 or equal to VL)
1278 * **Modulo 1D mapping**: to perform Indexing cycling through the
1279 first N Indices use `SVd=N,sk=0,yx=0` where `VL>N`. There is
1280 no requirement to set VL equal to a multiple of N.
1281 * **Modulo 2D transposed**: `SVd=M,sk=0,yx=1`, sets
1282 `xdim=M,ydim=CEIL(MAXVL/M)`.
1283
1284 Beyond these mappings it becomes necessary to write directly to
1285 the SVSTATE SPRs manually.

1367 `svshape2` is an additional convenience instruction that prioritises
1368 setting `SVSHAPE.offset`. Its primary purpose is for use when
1369 element-width overrides are used. It has identical capabilities to `svindex`
1370 in terms of both options (skip, etc.) and ability to activate REMAP
1371 (rmm, mask mode) but unlike `svindex` it does not set GPR REMAP:
1372 only a 1D or 2D `svshape`, and
1373 unlike `svshape` it can set an arbitrary `SVSHAPE.offset` immediate.
1374
1375 One of the limitations of Simple-V is that Vector elements start on the boundary
1376 of the Scalar regfile, which is fine when element-width overrides are not
1377 needed. If the starting point of a Vector with smaller elwidths must begin
1378 in the middle of a register, normally there would be no way to do so except
1379 through costly LD/ST. `SVSHAPE.offset` caters for this scenario and `svshape2`
1380 makes it easier to access.
1381
1382 **Operand Fields**:
1383
1384 * **offs** (4 bits) - unsigned offset
1385 * **yx** (1 bit) - swap XY to YX
1386 * **SVd** dimension size
1387 * **rmm** REMAP mask
1388 * **mm** mask mode
1389 * **sk** (1 bit) skips 1st dimension if set
1390
1391 Dimensions are calculated exactly as `svindex`. `rmm` and
1392 `mm` are as per `svindex`.
1393
1394 *Programmer's Note: offsets for `svshape2` may be specified in the range
1395 0-15. Given that the principle of Simple-V is to fit on top of
1396 byte-addressable register files and that GPR and FPR are 64-bit (8 bytes)
1397 it should be clear that the offset may, when `elwidth=8`, begin an
1398 element-level operation starting element zero at any arbitrary byte.
1399 On cursory examination attempting to go beyond the range 0-7 seems
1400 unnecessary given that the **next GPR or FPR** is an
1401 alias for an offset in the range 8-15. Thus by simply increasing
1402 the starting Vector point of the operation to the next register it
1403 can be seen that the offset of 0-7 would be sufficient. Unfortunately
1404 however some operations are EXTRA2-encoded it is **not possible**
1405 to increase the GPR/FPR register number by one, because EXTRA2-encoding
1406 of GPR/FPR Vector numbers are restricted to even numbering.
1407 For CR Fields the EXTRA2 encoding is even more sparse.
1408 The additional offset range (8-15) helps overcome these limitations.*
1409
1410 *Hardware Implementor's note: with the offsets only being immediates
1411 and with register numbering being entirely immediate as well it is
1412 possible to correctly compute Register Hazards without requiring
1413 reading the contents of any SPRs. If however there are
1414 instructions that have directly written to the SVSTATE or SVSHAPE
1415 SPRs and those instructions are still in-flight then this position
1416 is clearly **invalid**. This is why Programmers are strongly
1417 discouraged from directly writing to these SPRs.*
1418
1419 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: this instruction shares
1420 the space of `svshape`. Therefore it is critical that the two
1421 instructions, `svshape` and `svshape2` have the exact same XO
1422 in bits 26 thru 31. It is also critical that for `svshape2`,
1423 bit 21 of XO is a 1, bit 22 of XO is a 0, and bit 23 of XO is a 0.*
