That rep movsl also has about a 40 cycle startup time, and the C code here stands a chance of being faster if the branches predict well. C C The slightly strange loop form seems necessary for the claimed speed. C Maybe load/store ordering affects it. C C The source and destination are checked to see if they're actually C overlapping, since it might be possible to use an incrementing rep movsl C at 0.75 c/l. (It doesn't suffer the bad startup time of the decrementing C version.) C C Enhancements: C C Top speed for an all-integer copy is probably 1.0 c/l, being one load and C one store each cycle. Unrolling the loop below would approach 1.0, but C it'd be good to know why something like store/load/subl + store/load/jnz C doesn't already run at 1.0 c/l. It looks like it should decode in 2 C cycles, but doesn't run that way. defframe(PARAM_SIZE,12) defframe(PARAM_SRC, 8) defframe(PARAM_DST, 4) dnl re-using parameter space define(SAVE_ESI,`PARAM_SIZE') define(SAVE_EDI,`PARAM_SRC') TEXT ALIGN(16) PROLOGUE(mpn_copyd) deflit(`FRAME',0) movl PARAM_SIZE, %ecx movl %esi, SAVE_ESI movl PARAM_SRC, %esi movl %edi, SAVE_EDI movl PARAM_DST, %edi subl $1, %ecx jb L(zero) movl (%esi,%ecx,4), %eax C src[size-1] jz L(one) movl -4(%esi,%ecx,4), %edx C src[size-2] subl $2, %ecx jbe L(done_loop) C 2 or 3 limbs only C The usual overlap is C C high low C +------------------+ C | dst| C +------------------+ C +------------------+ C | src| C +------------------+ C C We can use an incrementing copy in the following circumstances.
