88 # REMAP <a name="remap" />
89
90 REMAP is an advanced form of Vector "Structure Packing" that
91 provides hardware-level support for commonly-used *nested* loop patterns
92 that would otherwise require full inline loop unrolling.
93 For more general reordering an Indexed REMAP mode is available.
94
95 REMAP allows the usual sequential vector loop `0..VL-1` to be "reshaped" (re-mapped)
96 from a linear form to a 2D or 3D transposed form, or "offset" to permit
97 arbitrary access to elements (when elwidth overrides are used),
98 independently on each Vector src or dest
99 register. Aside from Indexed REMAP this is entirely Hardware-accelerated
100 reordering and consequently not costly in terms of register access. It
101 will however place a burden on Multi-Issue systems but no more than if
102 the equivalent Scalar instructions were explicitly
103 loop-unrolled without SVP64, and some advanced implementations may even find
104 the Deterministic nature of the Scheduling to be easier on resources.
105
106 The initial primary motivation of REMAP was for Matrix Multiplication, reordering
107 of sequential data in-place: in-place DCT and FFT were easily justified given the
108 exceptionally high usage in Computer Science.
109 Four SPRs are provided which may be applied to any GPR, FPR or CR Field
110 so that for example a single FMAC may be
111 used in a single hardware-controlled 100% Deterministic loop to
112 perform 5x3 times 3x4 Matrix multiplication,
113 generating 60 FMACs *without needing explicit assembler unrolling*.
114 Additional uses include regular "Structure Packing"
115 such as RGB pixel data extraction and reforming.
116
117 REMAP, like all of SV, is abstracted out, meaning that unlike traditional
118 Vector ISAs which would typically only have a limited set of instructions
119 that can be structure-packed (LD/ST typically), REMAP may be applied to
120 literally any instruction: CRs, Arithmetic, Logical, LD/ST, anything.
121
122 Note that REMAP does not *directly* apply to sub-vector elements but
123 only to the group: that
124 is what swizzle is for. Swizzle *can* however be applied to the same
125 instruction as REMAP. As explained in [[sv/mv.swizzle]]
126 and the [[svp64/appendix]], Pack and Unpack EXTRA Mode bits
127 can extend down into Sub-vector elements to perform vec2/vec3/vec4
128 sequential reordering, but even here, REMAP is not *individually*
129 extended down to the actual sub-vector elements themselves.
130
131 In its general form, REMAP is quite expensive to set up, and on some
132 implementations may introduce
133 latency, so should realistically be used only where it is worthwhile.
134 Given that even with latency the fact that up to 127 operations
135 can be requested to be issued (from a single instruction) it should
136 be clear that REMAP should not be dismissed for *possible* latency alone.
137 Commonly-used patterns such as Matrix Multiply, DCT and FFT have
138 helper instruction options which make REMAP easier to use.
139
140 There are four types of REMAP:
141
142 * **Matrix**, also known as 2D and 3D reshaping, can perform in-place
143 Matrix transpose and rotate. The Shapes are set up for an "Outer Product"
144 Matrix Multiply.
145 * **FFT/DCT**, with full triple-loop in-place support: limited to
146 Power-2 RADIX
147 * **Indexing**, for any general-purpose reordering, also includes
148 limited 2D reshaping.
149 * **Parallel Reduction**, for scheduling a sequence of operations
150 in a Deterministic fashion, in a way that may be parallelised,
151 to reduce a Vector down to a single value.
152
153 Best implemented on top of a Multi-Issue Out-of-Order Micro-architecture,
154 REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic **including Indexing** and are
155 designed to be incorporated in between the Decode and Issue phases,
156 directly into Register Hazard Management.
157
158 Parallel Reduction is unusual in that it requires a full vector array
159 of results (not a scalar) and uses the rest of the result Vector for
160 the purposes of storing intermediary calculations. As these intermediary
161 results are Deterministically computed they may be useful.
162 Additionally, because the intermediate results are always written out
163 it is possible to service Precise Interrupts without affecting latency
164 (a common limitation of Vector ISAs implementing explicit
165 Parallel Reduction instructions).
166
167 ## Basic principle
168
169 * normal vector element read/write of operands would be sequential
170 (0 1 2 3 ....)
171 * this is not appropriate for (e.g.) Matrix multiply which requires
172 accessing elements in alternative sequences (0 3 6 1 4 7 ...)
173 * normal Vector ISAs use either Indexed-MV or Indexed-LD/ST to "cope"
174 with this. both are expensive (copy large vectors, spill through memory)
175 and very few Packed SIMD ISAs cope with non-Power-2.
176 * REMAP **redefines** the order of access according to set
177 (Deterministic) "Schedules".
178 * The Schedules are not at all restricted to power-of-two boundaries
179 making it unnecessary to have for example specialised 3x4 transpose
180 instructions of other Vector ISAs.
181
182 Only the most commonly-used algorithms in computer science have REMAP
183 support, due to the high cost in both the ISA and in hardware. For
184 arbitrary remapping the `Indexed` REMAP may be used.
185
186 ## Example Usage
187
188 * `svshape` to set the type of reordering to be applied to an
189 otherwise usual `0..VL-1` hardware for-loop
190 * `svremap` to set which registers a given reordering is to apply to
191 (RA, RT etc)
192 * `sv.{instruction}` where any Vectorised register marked by `svremap`
193 will have its ordering REMAPPED according to the schedule set
194 by `svshape`.
195
196 The following illustrative example multiplies a 3x4 and a 5x3
197 matrix to create
198 a 5x4 result:
199
200 ```
201 svshape 5, 4, 3, 0, 0
202 svremap 15, 1, 2, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0
203 sv.fmadds *0, *8, *16, *0
204 ```
205
206 * svshape sets up the four SVSHAPE SPRS for a Matrix Schedule
207 * svremap activates four out of five registers RA RB RC RT RS (15)
208 * svremap requests:
209 - RA to use SVSHAPE1
210 - RB to use SVSHAPE2
211 - RC to use SVSHAPE3
212 - RT to use SVSHAPE0
213 - RS Remapping to not be activated
214 * sv.fmadds has RT=0.v, RA=8.v, RB=16.v, RC=0.v
215 * With REMAP being active each register's element index is
216 *independently* transformed using the specified SHAPEs.
217
218 Thus the Vector Loop is arranged such that the use of
219 the multiply-and-accumulate instruction executes precisely the required
220 Schedule to perform an in-place in-registers Matrix Multiply with no
221 need to perform additional Transpose or register copy instructions.
222 The example above may be executed as a unit test and demo,
223 [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)
224
225 ## REMAP types
226
227 This section summarises the motivation for each REMAP Schedule
228 and briefly goes over their characteristics and limitations.
229 Further details on the Deterministic Precise-Interruptible algorithms
230 used in these Schedules is found in the [[sv/remap/appendix]].
231
232 ### Matrix (1D/2D/3D shaping)
233
234 Matrix Multiplication is a huge part of High-Performance Compute,
235 and 3D.
236 In many PackedSIMD as well as Scalable Vector ISAs, non-power-of-two
237 Matrix sizes are a serious challenge. PackedSIMD ISAs, in order to
238 cope with for example 3x4 Matrices, recommend rolling data-repetition and loop-unrolling.
239 Aside from the cost of the load on the L1 I-Cache, the trick only
240 works if one of the dimensions X or Y are power-two. Prime Numbers
241 (5x7, 3x5) become deeply problematic to unroll.
242
243 Even traditional Scalable Vector ISAs have issues with Matrices, often
244 having to perform data Transpose by pushing out through Memory and back,
245 or computing Transposition Indices (costly) then copying to another
246 Vector (costly).
247
248 Matrix REMAP was thus designed to solve these issues by providing Hardware
249 Assisted
250 "Schedules" that can view what would otherwise be limited to a strictly
251 linear Vector as instead being 2D (even 3D) *in-place* reordered.
252 With both Transposition and non-power-two being supported the issues
253 faced by other ISAs are mitigated.
254
255 Limitations of Matrix REMAP are that the Vector Length (VL) is currently
256 restricted to 127: up to 127 FMAs (or other operation)
257 may be performed in total.
258 Also given that it is in-registers only at present some care has to be
259 taken on regfile resource utilisation. However it is perfectly possible
260 to utilise Matrix REMAP to perform the three inner-most "kernel" loops of
261 the usual 6-level large Matrix Multiply, without the usual difficulties
262 associated with SIMD.
263
264 Also the `svshape` instruction only provides access to part of the
265 Matrix REMAP capability. Rotation and mirroring need to be done by
266 programming the SVSHAPE SPRs directly, which can take a lot more
267 instructions. Future versions of SVP64 will include EXT1xx prefixed
268 variants (`psvshape`) which provide more comprehensive capacity and
269 mitigate the need to write direct to the SVSHAPE SPRs.
270
271 ### FFT/DCT Triple Loop
272
273 DCT and FFT are some of the most astonishingly used algorithms in
274 Computer Science. Radar, Audio, Video, R.F. Baseband and dozens more. At least
275 two DSPs, TMS320 and Hexagon, have VLIW instructions specially tailored
276 to FFT.
277
278 An in-depth analysis showed that it is possible to do in-place in-register
279 DCT and FFT as long as twin-result "butterfly" instructions are provided.
280 These can be found in the [[openpower/isa/svfparith]] page if performing
281 IEEE754 FP transforms. *(For fixed-point transforms, equivalent 3-in 2-out
282 integer operations would be required)*. These "butterfly" instructions
283 avoid the need for a temporary register because the two array positions
284 being overwritten will be "in-flight" in any In-Order or Out-of-Order
285 micro-architecture.
286
287 DCT and FFT Schedules are currently limited to RADIX2 sizes and do not
288 accept predicate masks. Given that it is common to perform recursive
289 convolutions combining smaller Power-2 DCT/FFT to create larger DCT/FFTs
290 in practice the RADIX2 limit is not a problem. A Bluestein convolution
291 to compute arbitrary length is demonstrated by
292 [Project Nayuki](https://www.nayuki.io/res/free-small-fft-in-multiple-languages/fft.py)
293
294 ### Indexed
295
296 The purpose of Indexing is to provide a generalised version of
297 Vector ISA "Permute" instructions, such as VSX `vperm`. The
298 Indexing is abstracted out and may be applied to much more
299 than an element move/copy, and is not limited for example
300 to the number of bytes that can fit into a VSX register.
301 Indexing may be applied to LD/ST (even on Indexed LD/ST
302 instructions such as `sv.lbzx`), arithmetic operations,
303 extsw: there is no artificial limit.
304
305 The only major caveat is that the registers to be used as
306 Indices must not be modified by any instruction after Indexed Mode
307 is established, and neither must MAXVL be altered. Additionally,
308 no register used as an Index may exceed MAXVL-1.
309
310 Failure to observe
311 these conditions results in `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
312 These conditions allow a Read-After-Write (RAW) Hazard to be created on
313 the entire range of Indices to be subsequently used, but a corresponding
314 Write-After-Read Hazard by any instruction that modifies the Indices
315 **does not have to be created**. Given the large number of registers
316 involved in Indexing this is a huge resource saving and reduction
317 in micro-architectural complexity. MAXVL is likewise
318 included in the RAW Hazards because it is involved in calculating
319 how many registers are to be considered Indices.
320
321 With these Hazard Mitigations in place, high-performance implementations
322 may read-cache the Indices at the point where a given `svindex` instruction
323 is called (or SVSHAPE SPRs - and MAXVL - directly altered) by issuing
324 background GPR register file reads whilst other instructions are being
325 issued and executed.
326
327 The original motivation for Indexed REMAP was to mitigate the need to add
328 an expensive `mv.x` to the Scalar ISA, which was likely to be rejected as
329 a stand-alone instruction. Usually a Vector ISA would add a non-conflicting
330 variant (as in VSX `vperm`) but it is common to need to permute by source,
331 with the risk of conflict, that has to be resolved, for example, in AVX-512
332 with `conflictd`.
333
334 Indexed REMAP on the other hand **does not prevent conflicts** (overlapping
335 destinations), which on a superficial analysis may be perceived to be a
336 problem, until it is recalled that, firstly, Simple-V is designed specifically
337 to require Program Order to be respected, and that Matrix, DCT and FFT
338 all *already* critically depend on overlapping Reads/Writes: Matrix
339 uses overlapping registers as accumulators. Thus the Register Hazard
340 Management needed by Indexed REMAP *has* to be in place anyway.
341
342 The cost compared to Matrix and other REMAPs (and Pack/Unpack) is
343 clearly that of the additional reading of the GPRs to be used as Indices,
344 plus the setup cost associated with creating those same Indices.
345 If any Deterministic REMAP can cover the required task, clearly it
346 is adviseable to use it instead.
347
348 *Programmer's note: some algorithms may require skipping of Indices exceeding
349 VL-1, not MAXVL-1. This may be achieved programmatically by performing
350 an `sv.cmp *BF,*RA,RB` where RA is the same GPRs used in the Indexed REMAP,
351 and RB contains the value of VL returned from `setvl`. The resultant
352 CR Fields may then be used as Predicate Masks to exclude those operations
353 with an Index exceeding VL-1.*
354
355 ### Parallel Reduction
356
357 Vector Reduce Mode issues a deterministic tree-reduction schedule to the underlying micro-architecture. Like Scalar reduction, the "Scalar Base"
358 (Power ISA v3.0B) operation is leveraged, unmodified, to give the
359 *appearance* and *effect* of Reduction.
360
361 In Horizontal-First Mode, Vector-result reduction **requires**
362 the destination to be a Vector, which will be used to store
363 intermediary results.
364
365 Given that the tree-reduction schedule is deterministic,
366 Interrupts and exceptions
367 can therefore also be precise. The final result will be in the first
368 non-predicate-masked-out destination element, but due again to
369 the deterministic schedule programmers may find uses for the intermediate
370 results.
371
372 When Rc=1 a corresponding Vector of co-resultant CRs is also
373 created. No special action is taken: the result *and its CR Field*
374 are stored "as usual" exactly as all other SVP64 Rc=1 operations.
375
376 Note that the Schedule only makes sense on top of certain instructions:
377 X-Form with a Register Profile of `RT,RA,RB` is fine because two sources
378 and the destination are all the same type. Like Scalar
379 Reduction, nothing is prohibited:
380 the results of execution on an unsuitable instruction may simply
381 not make sense. With care, even 3-input instructions (madd, fmadd, ternlogi)
382 may be used, and whilst it is down to the Programmer to walk through the
383 process the Programmer can be confident that the Parallel-Reduction is
384 guaranteed 100% Deterministic.
385
386 Critical to note regarding use of Parallel-Reduction REMAP is that,
387 exactly as with all REMAP Modes, the `svshape` instruction *requests*
388 a certain Vector Length (number of elements to reduce) and then
389 sets VL and MAXVL at the number of **operations** needed to be
390 carried out. Thus, equally as importantly, like Matrix REMAP
391 the total number of operations
392 is restricted to 127. Any Parallel-Reduction requiring more operations
393 will need to be done manually in batches (hierarchical
394 recursive Reduction).
395
396 Also important to note is that the Deterministic Schedule is arranged
397 so that some implementations *may* parallelise it (as long as doing so
398 respects Program Order and Register Hazards). Performance (speed)
399 of any given
400 implementation is neither strictly defined or guaranteed. As with
401 the Vulkan(tm) Specification, strict compliance is paramount whilst
402 performance is at the discretion of Implementors.
403
404 **Parallel-Reduction with Predication**
405
406 To avoid breaking the strict RISC-paradigm, keeping the Issue-Schedule
407 completely separate from the actual element-level (scalar) operations,
408 Move operations are **not** included in the Schedule. This means that
409 the Schedule leaves the final (scalar) result in the first-non-masked
410 element of the Vector used. With the predicate mask being dynamic
411 (but deterministic) this result could be anywhere.
412
413 If that result is needed to be moved to a (single) scalar register
414 then a follow-up `sv.mv/sm=predicate rt, *ra` instruction will be
415 needed to get it, where the predicate is the exact same predicate used
416 in the prior Parallel-Reduction instruction.
417
418 * If there was only a single
419 bit in the predicate then the result will not have moved or been altered
420 from the source vector prior to the Reduction
421 * If there was more than one bit the result will be in the
422 first element with a predicate bit set.
423
424 In either case the result is in the element with the first bit set in
425 the predicate mask.
426
427 Programmer's Note: For *some* hardware implementations
428 the vector-to-scalar copy may be a slow operation, as may the Predicated
429 Parallel Reduction itself.
430 It may be better to perform a pre-copy
431 of the values, compressing them (VREDUCE-style) into a contiguous block,
432 which will guarantee that the result goes into the very first element
433 of the destination vector, in which case clearly no follow-up
434 vector-to-scalar MV operation is needed.
435
436 **Usage conditions**
437
438 The simplest usage is to perform an overwrite, specifying all three
439 register operands the same.
440
441 ```
442 svshape parallelreduce, 6
443 sv.add *8, *8, *8
444 ```
445
446 The Reduction Schedule will issue the Parallel Tree Reduction spanning
447 registers 8 through 13, by adjusting the offsets to RT, RA and RB as
448 necessary (see "Parallel Reduction algorithm" in a later section).
449
450 A non-overwrite is possible as well but just as with the overwrite
451 version, only those destination elements necessary for storing
452 intermediary computations will be written to: the remaining elements
453 will **not** be overwritten and will **not** be zero'd.
454
455 ```
456 svshape parallelreduce, 6
457 sv.add *0, *8, *8
458 ```
459
460 However it is critical to note that if the source and destination are
461 not the same then the trick of using a follow-up vector-scalar MV will
462 not work.
463
464 ### Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction
465
466 To achieve Sub-Vector Horizontal Reduction, Pack/Unpack should be enabled,
467 which will turn the Schedule around such that issuing of the Scalar
468 Defined Words is done with SUBVL looping as the inner loop not the
469 outer loop. Rc=1 with Sub-Vectors (SUBVL=2,3,4) is `UNDEFINED` behaviour.
470
471 ## Determining Register Hazards
472
473 For high-performance (Multi-Issue, Out-of-Order) systems it is critical
474 to be able to statically determine the extent of Vectors in order to
475 allocate pre-emptive Hazard protection. The next task is to eliminate
476 masked-out elements using predicate bits, freeing up the associated
477 Hazards.
478
479 For non-REMAP situations `VL` is sufficient to ascertain early
480 Hazard coverage, and with SVSTATE being a high priority cached
481 quantity at the same level of MSR and PC this is not a problem.
482
483 The problems come when REMAP is enabled. Indexed REMAP must instead
484 use `MAXVL` as the earliest (simplest)
485 batch-level Hazard Reservation indicator (after taking element-width
486 overriding on the Index source into consideration),
487 but Matrix, FFT and Parallel Reduction must all use completely different
488 schemes. The reason is that VL is used to step through the total
489 number of *operations*, not the number of registers.
490 The "Saving Grace" is that all of the REMAP Schedules are 100% Deterministic.
491
492 Advance-notice Parallel computation and subsequent cacheing
493 of all of these complex Deterministic REMAP Schedules is
494 *strongly recommended*, thus allowing clear and precise multi-issue
495 batched Hazard coverage to be deployed, *even for Indexed Mode*.
496 This is only possible for Indexed due to the strict guidelines
497 given to Programmers.
498
499 In short, there exists solutions to the problem of Hazard Management,
500 with varying degrees of refinement possible at correspondingly
501 increasing levels of complexity in hardware.
502
503 A reminder: when Rc=1 each result register (element) has an associated
504 co-result CR Field (one per result element). Thus above when determining
505 the Write-Hazards for result registers the corresponding Write-Hazards for the
506 corresponding associated co-result CR Field must not be forgotten, *including* when
507 Predication is used.
508
509 ## REMAP area of SVSTATE SPR
510
511 The following bits of the SVSTATE SPR are used for REMAP:
512
513 |32.33|34.35|36.37|38.39|40.41| 42.46 | 62 |
514 | -- | -- | -- | -- | -- | ----- | ------ |
515 |mi0 |mi1 |mi2 |mo0 |mo1 | SVme | RMpst |
516
517 mi0-2 and mo0-1 each select SVSHAPE0-3 to apply to a given register.
518 mi0-2 apply to RA, RB, RC respectively, as input registers, and
519 likewise mo0-1 apply to output registers (RT/FRT, RS/FRS) respectively.
520 SVme is 5 bits (one for each of mi0-2/mo0-1) and indicates whether the
521 SVSHAPE is actively applied or not.
522
523 * bit 0 of SVme indicates if mi0 is applied to RA / FRA / BA / BFA
524 * bit 1 of SVme indicates if mi1 is applied to RB / FRB / BB
525 * bit 2 of SVme indicates if mi2 is applied to RC / FRC / BC
526 * bit 3 of SVme indicates if mo0 is applied to RT / FRT / BT / BF
527 * bit 4 of SVme indicates if mo1 is applied to Effective Address / FRS / RS
528 (LD/ST-with-update has an implicit 2nd write register, RA)
529
530 The "persistence" bit if set will result in all Active REMAPs being applied
531 indefinitely.

571
572 `svremap` determines the relationship between registers and SVSHAPE SPRs.
573 The bitmask `SVme` determines which registers have a REMAP applied, and mi0-mo1
574 determine which shape is applied to an activated register. the `pst` bit if
575 cleared indicated that the REMAP operation shall only apply to the immediately-following
576 instruction. If set then REMAP remains permanently enabled until such time as it is
577 explicitly disabled, either by `setvl` setting a new MAXVL, or with another
578 `svremap` instruction. `svindex` and `svshape2` are also capable of setting or
579 clearing persistence, as well as partially covering a subset of the capability of
580 `svremap` to set register-to-SVSHAPE relationships.
581
582 Programmer's Note: applying non-persistent `svremap` to an instruction that has
583 no REMAP enabled or is a Scalar operation will obviously have no effect but
584 the bits 32 to 46 will at least have been set in SVSTATE. This may prove useful
585 when using `svindex` or `svshape2`.
586
587 Hardware Architectural Note: when persistence is not set it is critically important
588 to treat the `svremap` and the following SVP64 instruction as an indivisible fused operation.
589 *No state* is stored in the SVSTATE SPR in order to allow continuation should an
590 Interrupt occur between the two instructions. Thus, Interrupts must be prohibited
591 from occurring or other workaround deployed. When persistence is set this issue
592 is moot.
593
594 It is critical to note that if persistence is clear `svremap` is the **only** way
595 to activate REMAP on any given (following) instruction. If persistence is set however then
596 **all** SVP64 instructions go through REMAP as long as `SVme` is non-zero.

602 # SHAPE Remapping SPRs
603
604 There are four "shape" SPRs, SHAPE0-3, 32-bits in each,
605 which have the same format.
606
607 Shape is 32-bits. When SHAPE is set entirely to zeros, remapping is
608 disabled: the register's elements are a linear (1D) vector.
609
610 |31.30|29..28 |27..24| 23..21 | 20..18 | 17..12 |11..6 |5..0 | Mode |
611 |---- |------ |------| ------ | ------- | ------- |----- |----- | ----- |
612 |0b00 |skip |offset| invxyz | permute | zdimsz |ydimsz|xdimsz|Matrix |
613 |0b00 |elwidth|offset|sk1/invxy|0b110/0b111|SVGPR|ydimsz|xdimsz|Indexed|
614 |0b01 |submode|offset| invxyz | submode2| zdimsz |mode |xdimsz|DCT/FFT|

616 |0b11 | | | | | | | |rsvd |
617
618 mode sets different behaviours (straight matrix multiply, FFT, DCT).
619
620 * **mode=0b00** sets straight Matrix Mode
621 * **mode=0b00** with permute=0b110 or 0b111 sets Indexed Mode
622 * **mode=0b01** sets "FFT/DCT" mode and activates submodes
623 * **mode=0b10** sets "Parallel Reduction" Schedules.
624
625 ## Parallel Reduction Mode
626
627 Creates the Schedules for Parallel Tree Reduction.
628
629 * **submode=0b00** selects the left operand index
630 * **submode=0b01** selects the right operand index
631
632 * When bit 0 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the indices
633 in the inner for-loop are reversed. This has the side-effect
634 of placing the final reduced result in the last-predicated element.
635 It also has the indirect side-effect of swapping the source
636 registers: Left-operand index numbers will always exceed
637 Right-operand indices.
638 When clear, the reduced result will be in the first-predicated
639 element, and Left-operand indices will always be *less* than
640 Right-operand ones.
641 * When bit 1 of `invxyz` is set, the order of the outer loop
642 step is inverted: stepping begins at the nearest power-of two
643 to half of the vector length and reduces by half each time.
644 When clear the step will begin at 2 and double on each
645 inner loop.
646
647 ## FFT/DCT mode
648
649 submode2=0 is for FFT. For FFT submode the following schedules may be
650 selected:
651
652 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop
653 of Tukey-Cooley
654 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop
655 of Tukey-Cooley
656 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``k`` of exptable (which coefficient)
657
658 When submode2 is 1 or 2, for DCT inner butterfly submode the following
659 schedules may be selected. When submode2 is 1, additional bit-reversing
660 is also performed.
661
662 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
663 in-place
664 * **submode=0b010** selects the ``j+halfsize`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
665 in reverse-order, in-place
666 * **submode=0b10** selects the ``ci`` count of the innermost for-loop,
667 useful for calculating the cosine coefficient
668 * **submode=0b11** selects the ``size`` offset of the outermost for-loop,
669 useful for the cosine coefficient ``cos(ci + 0.5) * pi / size``
670
671 When submode2 is 3 or 4, for DCT outer butterfly submode the following
672 schedules may be selected. When submode is 3, additional bit-reversing
673 is also performed.
674
675 * **submode=0b00** selects the ``j`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
676 * **submode=0b01** selects the ``j+1`` offset of the innermost for-loop,
677
678 `zdimsz` is used as an in-place "Stride", particularly useful for
679 column-based in-place DCT/FFT.
680
681 ## Matrix Mode
682
683 In Matrix Mode, skip allows dimensions to be skipped from being included
684 in the resultant output index. this allows sequences to be repeated:
685 ```0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 ...``` or in the case of skip=0b11 this results in
686 modulo ```0 1 2 0 1 2 ...```
687
688 * **skip=0b00** indicates no dimensions to be skipped
689 * **skip=0b01** sets "skip 1st dimension"
690 * **skip=0b10** sets "skip 2nd dimension"
691 * **skip=0b11** sets "skip 3rd dimension"
692
693 invxyz will invert the start index of each of x, y or z. If invxyz[0] is
694 zero then x-dimensional counting begins from 0 and increments, otherwise
695 it begins from xdimsz-1 and iterates down to zero. Likewise for y and z.
696
697 offset will have the effect of offsetting the result by ```offset``` elements:
698
699 ```
700 for i in 0..VL-1:
701 GPR(RT + remap(i) + SVSHAPE.offset) = ....
702 ```
703
704 this appears redundant because the register RT could simply be changed by a compiler, until element width overrides are introduced. also
705 bear in mind that unlike a static compiler SVSHAPE.offset may
706 be set dynamically at runtime.
707
708 xdimsz, ydimsz and zdimsz are offset by 1, such that a value of 0 indicates
709 that the array dimensionality for that dimension is 1. any dimension
710 not intended to be used must have its value set to 0 (dimensionality
711 of 1). A value of xdimsz=2 would indicate that in the first dimension
712 there are 3 elements in the array. For example, to create a 2D array
713 X,Y of dimensionality X=3 and Y=2, set xdimsz=2, ydimsz=1 and zdimsz=0
714
715 The format of the array is therefore as follows:
716
717 ```
718 array[xdimsz+1][ydimsz+1][zdimsz+1]
719 ```
720
721 However whilst illustrative of the dimensionality, that does not take the
722 "permute" setting into account. "permute" may be any one of six values
723 (0-5, with values of 6 and 7 indicating "Indexed" Mode). The table
724 below shows how the permutation dimensionality order works:
725
726 | permute | order | array format |
727 | ------- | ----- | ------------------------ |
728 | 000 | 0,1,2 | (xdim+1)(ydim+1)(zdim+1) |
729 | 001 | 0,2,1 | (xdim+1)(zdim+1)(ydim+1) |
730 | 010 | 1,0,2 | (ydim+1)(xdim+1)(zdim+1) |
731 | 011 | 1,2,0 | (ydim+1)(zdim+1)(xdim+1) |
732 | 100 | 2,0,1 | (zdim+1)(xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
733 | 101 | 2,1,0 | (zdim+1)(ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
734 | 110 | 0,1 | Indexed (xdim+1)(ydim+1) |
735 | 111 | 1,0 | Indexed (ydim+1)(xdim+1) |
736
737 In other words, the "permute" option changes the order in which
738 nested for-loops over the array would be done. See executable
739 python reference code for further details.
740
741 *Note: permute=0b110 and permute=0b111 enable Indexed REMAP Mode,
742 described below*
743
744 With all these options it is possible to support in-place transpose,
745 in-place rotate, Matrix Multiply and Convolutions, without being
746 limited to Power-of-Two dimension sizes.
747
748 ## Indexed Mode
749
750 Indexed Mode activates reading of the element indices from the GPR
751 and includes optional limited 2D reordering.
752 In its simplest form (without elwidth overrides or other modes):
753
754 ```
755 def index_remap(i):
756 return GPR((SVSHAPE.SVGPR<<1)+i) + SVSHAPE.offset
757
758 for i in 0..VL-1:
759 element_result = ....
760 GPR(RT + indexed_remap(i)) = element_result
761 ```
762
763 With element-width overrides included, and using the pseudocode
764 from the SVP64 [[sv/svp64/appendix#elwidth]] elwidth section
765 this becomes:
766
767 ```
768 def index_remap(i):
769 svreg = SVSHAPE.SVGPR << 1
770 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(SVSHAPE.elwid)
771 offs = SVSHAPE.offset
772 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, i) + offs
773
774 for i in 0..VL-1:
775 element_result = ....
776 rt_idx = indexed_remap(i)
777 set_polymorphed_reg(RT, destwid, rt_idx, element_result)
778 ```
779
780 Matrix-style reordering still applies to the indices, except limited
781 to up to 2 Dimensions (X,Y). Ordering is therefore limited to (X,Y) or
782 (Y,X) for in-place Transposition.
783 Only one dimension may optionally be skipped. Inversion of either
784 X or Y or both is possible (2D mirroring). Pseudocode for Indexed Mode (including elwidth
785 overrides) may be written in terms of Matrix Mode, specifically
786 purposed to ensure that the 3rd dimension (Z) has no effect:
787
788 ```
789 def index_remap(ISHAPE, i):
790 MSHAPE.skip = 0b0 || ISHAPE.sk1
791 MSHAPE.invxyz = 0b0 || ISHAPE.invxy
792 MSHAPE.xdimsz = ISHAPE.xdimsz
793 MSHAPE.ydimsz = ISHAPE.ydimsz
794 MSHAPE.zdimsz = 0 # disabled
795 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b110 # 0,1
796 MSHAPE.permute = 0b000 # 0,1,2
797 if ISHAPE.permute = 0b111 # 1,0
798 MSHAPE.permute = 0b010 # 1,0,2
799 el_idx = remap_matrix(MSHAPE, i)
800 svreg = ISHAPE.SVGPR << 1
801 srcwid = elwid_to_bitwidth(ISHAPE.elwid)
802 offs = ISHAPE.offset
803 return get_polymorphed_reg(svreg, srcwid, el_idx) + offs
804 ```
805
806 The most important observation above is that the Matrix-style
807 remapping occurs first and the Index lookup second. Thus it
808 becomes possible to perform in-place Transpose of Indices which
809 may have been costly to set up or costly to duplicate
810 (waste register file space).

1014 `svshape` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction
1015 count for common usage patterns, particularly Matrix, DCT and FFT. It sets up
1016 (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE SPRs and also modifies SVSTATE
1017 including VL and MAXVL. Using `svshape` therefore does not also
1018 require `setvl`.
1019
1020 Fields:
1021
1022 * **SVxd** - SV REMAP "xdim"
1023 * **SVyd** - SV REMAP "ydim"
1024 * **SVzd** - SV REMAP "zdim"
1025 * **SVRM** - SV REMAP Mode (0b00000 for Matrix, 0b00001 for FFT etc.)
1026 * **vf** - sets "Vertical-First" mode
1027
1028 *Note: SVxd, SVyz and SVzd are all stored "off-by-one". In the assembler
1029 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*
1030
1031 There are 14 REMAP Modes (2 Modes are RESERVED for `svshape2`)
1032
1033 | SVRM | Remap Mode description |
1034 | -- | -- |
1035 | 0b0000 | Matrix 1/2/3D |
1036 | 0b0001 | FFT Butterfly |
1037 | 0b0010 | DCT Inner butterfly, pre-calculated coefficients |
1038 | 0b0011 | DCT Outer butterfly |
1039 | 0b0100 | DCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1040 | 0b0101 | DCT COS table index generation |
1041 | 0b0110 | DCT half-swap |
1042 | 0b0111 | Parallel Reduction |
1043 | 0b1000 | reserved for svshape2 |
1044 | 0b1001 | reserved for svshape2 |
1045 | 0b1010 | iDCT Inner butterfly, pre-calculated coefficients |
1046 | 0b1011 | iDCT Outer butterfly |
1047 | 0b1100 | iDCT Inner butterfly, on-the-fly (Vertical-First Mode) |
1048 | 0b1101 | iDCT COS table index generation |
1049 | 0b1110 | iDCT half-swap |
1050 | 0b1111 | FFT half-swap |
1051
1052 Examples showing how all of these Modes operate exists in the online
1053 [SVP64 unit tests](https://git.libre-soc.org/?p=openpower-isa.git;a=tree;f=src/openpower/decoder/isa;hb=HEAD). Explaining
1054 these Modes further in detail is beyond the scope of this document.
1055
1056 In Indexed Mode, there are only 5 bits available to specify the GPR
1057 to use, out of 128 GPRs (7 bit numbering). Therefore, only the top
1058 5 bits are given in the `SVxd` field: the bottom two implicit bits
1059 will be zero (`SVxd || 0b00`).
1060
1061 `svshape` has *limited applicability* due to being a 32-bit instruction.
1062 The full capability of SVSHAPE SPRs may be accessed by directly writing
1063 to SVSHAPE0-3 with `mtspr`. Circumstances include Matrices with dimensions
1064 larger than 32, and in-place Transpose. Potentially a future v3.1 Prefixed
1065 instruction, `psvshape`, may extend the capability here.
1066
1067 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: the SVRM field is carefully
1068 crafted to allocate two Modes, corresponding to bits 21-23 within the
1069 instruction being set to the value `0b100`, to `svshape2` (not
1070 `svshape`). These two Modes are
1071 considered "RESERVED" within the context of `svshape` but it is
1072 absolutely critical to allocate the exact same pattern in XO for
1073 both instructions in bits 26-31.*

1156
1157 `svindex` is a convenience instruction that reduces instruction count
1158 for Indexed REMAP Mode. It sets up (overwrites) all required SVSHAPE
1159 SPRs and **unlike** `svshape` can modify the REMAP area of the SVSTATE
1160 SPR as well, including setting persistence. The relevant SPRs *may*
1161 be directly programmed with `mtspr` however it is laborious to do so:
1162 svindex saves instructions covering much of Indexed REMAP capability.
1163
1164 Fields:
1165
1166 * **SVd** - SV REMAP x/y dim
1167 * **rmm** - REMAP mask: sets remap mi0-2/mo0-1 and SVSHAPEs,
1168 controlled by mm
1169 * **ew** - sets element width override on the Indices
1170 * **SVG** - GPR SVG<<2 to be used for Indexing
1171 * **yx** - 2D reordering to be used if yx=1
1172 * **mm** - mask mode. determines how `rmm` is interpreted.
1173 * **sk** - Dimension skipping enabled
1174
1175 *Note: SVd, like SVxd, SVyz and SVzd of `svshape`, are all stored
1176 "off-by-one". In the assembler
1177 mnemonic the values `1-32` are stored in binary as `0b00000..0b11111`*.
1178
1179 *Note: when `yx=1,sk=0` the second dimension is calculated as
1180 `CEIL(MAXVL/SVd)`*.
1181
1182 When `mm=0`:
1183
1184 * `rmm`, like REMAP.SVme, has bit 0
1185 correspond to mi0, bit 1 to mi1, bit 2 to mi2,
1186 bit 3 to mo0 and bit 4 to mi1
1187 * all SVSHAPEs and the REMAP parts of SVSHAPE are first reset (initialised to zero)
1188 * for each bit set in the 5-bit `rmm`, in order, the first
1189 as-yet-unset SVSHAPE will be updated
1190 with the other operands in the instruction, and the REMAP
1191 SPR set.
1192 * If all 5 bits of `rmm` are set then both mi0 and mo1 use SVSHAPE0.
1193 * SVSTATE persistence bit is cleared
1194 * No other alterations to SVSTATE are carried out
1195
1196 Example 1: if rmm=0b00110 then SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1 are set up,
1197 and the REMAP SPR set so that mi1 uses SVSHAPE0 and mi2
1198 uses mi2. REMAP.SVme is also set to 0b00110, REMAP.mi1=0
1199 (SVSHAPE0) and REMAP.mi2=1 (SVSHAPE1)
1200
1201 Example 2: if rmm=0b10001 then again SVSHAPE0 and SVSHAPE1
1202 are set up, but the REMAP SPR is set so that mi0 uses SVSHAPE0
1203 and mo1 uses SVSHAPE1. REMAP.SVme=0b10001, REMAP.mi0=0, REMAP.mo1=1
1204
1205 Rough algorithmic form:
1206
1207 ```
1208 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1209 idx = 0
1210 for bit = 0 to 4:
1211 if not rmm[bit]: continue
1212 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1213 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1214 idx = (idx+1) modulo 4
1215 ```
1216
1217 When `mm=1`:
1218
1219 * bits 0-2 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate an index selecting mi0-mo1
1220 * bits 3-4 (MSB0 numbering) of `rmm` indicate which SVSHAPE 0-3 shall
1221 be updated
1222 * only the selected SVSHAPE is overwritten
1223 * only the relevant bits in the REMAP area of SVSTATE are updated
1224 * REMAP persistence bit is set.
1225
1226 Example 1: if `rmm`=0b01110 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b011 and
1227 bits 3-4 are 0b10. thus, mo0 is selected and SVSHAPE2
1228 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[3] will be set high and REMAP.mo0
1229 set to 2 (SVSHAPE2).
1230
1231 Example 2: if `rmm`=0b10011 then bits 0-2 (MSB0) are 0b100 and
1232 bits 3-4 are 0b11. thus, mo1 is selected and SVSHAPE3
1233 to be updated. REMAP.SVme[4] will be set high and REMAP.mo1
1234 set to 3 (SVSHAPE3).
1235
1236 Rough algorithmic form:
1237
1238 ```
1239 marray = [mi0, mi1, mi2, mo0, mo1]
1240 bit = rmm[0:2]
1241 idx = rmm[3:4]
1242 setup(SVSHAPE[idx])
1243 SVSTATE{marray[bit]} = idx
1244 SVSTATE.pst = 1
1245 ```
1246
1247 In essence, `mm=0` is intended for use to set as much of the
1248 REMAP State SPRs as practical with a single instruction,
1249 whilst `mm=1` is intended to be a little more refined.
1250
1251 **Usage guidelines**
1252
1253 * **Disable 2D mapping**: to only perform Indexing without
1254 reordering use `SVd=1,sk=0,yx=0` (or set SVd to a value larger
1255 or equal to VL)
1256 * **Modulo 1D mapping**: to perform Indexing cycling through the
1257 first N Indices use `SVd=N,sk=0,yx=0` where `VL>N`. There is
1258 no requirement to set VL equal to a multiple of N.
1259 * **Modulo 2D transposed**: `SVd=M,sk=0,yx=1`, sets
1260 `xdim=M,ydim=CEIL(MAXVL/M)`.
1261
1262 Beyond these mappings it becomes necessary to write directly to
1263 the SVSTATE SPRs manually.

1345 `svshape2` is an additional convenience instruction that prioritises
1346 setting `SVSHAPE.offset`. Its primary purpose is for use when
1347 element-width overrides are used. It has identical capabilities to `svindex` and
1348 in terms of both options (skip, etc.) and ability to activate REMAP
1349 (rmm, mask mode) but unlike `svindex` it does not set GPR REMAP,
1350 only a 1D or 2D `svshape`, and
1351 unlike `svshape` it can set an arbirrary `SVSHAPE.offset` immediate.
1352
1353 One of the limitations of Simple-V is that Vector elements start on the boundary
1354 of the Scalar regfile, which is fine when element-width overrides are not
1355 needed. If the starting point of a Vector with smaller elwidths must begin
1356 in the middle of a register, normally there would be no way to do so except
1357 through LD/ST. `SVSHAPE.offset` caters for this scenario and `svshape2`is
1358 makes it easier.
1359
1360 **Operand Fields**:
1361
1362 * **offs** (4 bits) - unsigned offset
1363 * **yx** (1 bit) - swap XY to YX
1364 * **SVd** dimension size
1365 * **rmm** REMAP mask
1366 * **mm** mask mode
1367 * **sk** (1 bit) skips 1st dimension if set
1368
1369 Dimensions are calculated exactly as `svindex`. `rmm` and
1370 `mm` are as per `svindex`.
1371
1372 *Programmer's Note: offsets for `svshape2` may be specified in the range
1373 0-15. Given that the principle of Simple-V is to fit on top of
1374 byte-addressable register files and that GPR and FPR are 64-bit (8 bytes)
1375 it should be clear that the offset may, when `elwidth=8`, begin an
1376 element-level operation starting element zero at any arbitrary byte.
1377 On cursory examination attempting to go beyond the range 0-7 seems
1378 unnecessary given that the **next GPR or FPR** is an
1379 alias for an offset in the range 8-15. Thus by simply increasing
1380 the starting Vector point of the operation to the next register it
1381 can be seen that the offset of 0-7 would be sufficient. Unfortunately
1382 however some operations are EXTRA2-encoded it is **not possible**
1383 to increase the GPR/FPR register number by one, because EXTRA2-encoding
1384 of GPR/FPR Vector numbers are restricted to even numbering.
1385 For CR Fields the EXTRA2 encoding is even more sparse.
1386 The additional offset range (8-15) helps overcome these limitations.*
1387
1388 *Hardware Implementor's note: with the offsets only being immediates
1389 and with register numbering being entirely immediate as well it is
1390 possible to correctly compute Register Hazards without requiring
1391 reading the contents of any SPRs. If however there are
1392 instructions that have directly written to the SVSTATE or SVSHAPE
1393 SPRs and those instructions are still in-flight then this position
1394 is clearly **invalid**. This is why Programmers are strongly
1395 discouraged from directly writing to these SPRs.*
1396
1397 *Architectural Resource Allocation note: this instruction shares
1398 the space of `svshape`. Therefore it is critical that the two
1399 instructions, `svshape` and `svshape2` have the exact same XO
1400 in bits 26 thru 31. It is also critical that for `svshape2`,
1401 bit 21 of XO is a 1, bit 22 of XO is a 0, and bit 23 of XO is a 0.*
