This directory contains mpn functions for various HP PA-RISC chips. Code
|
|
that runs faster on the PA7100 and later implementations, is in the pa7100
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
RELEVANT OPTIMIZATION ISSUES
|
|
|
|
Load and Store timing
|
|
|
|
On the PA7000 no memory instructions can issue the two cycles after a store.
|
|
For the PA7100, this is reduced to one cycle.
|
|
|
|
The PA7100 has a lookup-free cache, so it helps to schedule loads and the
|
|
dependent instruction really far from each other.
|
|
|
|
STATUS
|
|
|
|
1. mpn_mul_1 could be improved to 6.5 cycles/limb on the PA7100, using the
|
|
instructions below (but some sw pipelining is needed to avoid the
|
|
xmpyu-fstds delay):

fldds s1_ptr

2. mpn_addmul_1 could be improved from the current 10 to 7.5 cycles/limb
|
|
(asymptotically) on the PA7100, using the instructions below. With proper
|
|
sw pipelining and the unrolling level below, the speed becomes 8
|
|
cycles/limb.

3. For the PA8000 we have to stick to using 32-bit limbs before compiler
|
|
support emerges. But we want to use 64-bit operations whenever possible,
|
|
in particular for loads and stores. It is possible to handle mpn_add_n
|
|
efficiently by rotating (when s1/s2 are aligned), masking+bit field
|
|
inserting when (they are not). The speed should double compared to the
|
|
code used today.

LABEL SYNTAX
|
|
|
|
The HP-UX assembler takes labels starting in column 0 with no colon,
|
|
|
|
L$loop ldws,mb -4(0,%r25),%r22
|
|
|
|
Gas on hppa GNU/Linux however requires a colon,
|
|
|
|
L$loop: ldws,mb -4(0,%r25),%r22
|
|
|
|
This is covered by using LDEF() from asm-defs.m4. An alternative would be
|
|
to use ".label" which is accepted by both,
|
|
|
|
.label L$loop
|
|
ldws,mb -4(0,%r25),%r22
|
|
|
|
but that's not as nice to look at, not if you're used to assembler code
|
|
having labels in column 0.
