[AArch64] Implement FP16FML intrinsics
ClosedPublic

Authored by bryanpkc on Oct 23 2018, 9:41 PM.

Details

Summary

Generate the FP16FML intrinsics into arm_neon.h (AArch64 only for now).
Add two new type modifiers to NeonEmitter to handle the new prototypes.
Define __ARM_FEATURE_FP16FML when +fp16fml is enabled and guard the
intrinsics with the macro in arm_neon.h.

Based on a patch by Gao Yiling.

I think this is reasonable.

I think this is reasonable.

Thanks Tim. Could you also review D53632, which is the LLVM part of this implementation?

Hey folks, I'm curious: where does the "_u32" suffix come from? Should it be _f16?

Also, are there any new ACLE/intrinsic list documents? As far as I can tell there hasn't been any release since IHI0073B/IHI0053D.

I've checked, and an updated ACLE that includes these FP16FML intrinsics is coming soon.

Good question. It could probably be _f32 or _f16, but _u32 doesn't seem to make much sense. Looks like the spec says _u32, and that's also what GCC has implemented. I think we want to update the spec and fix the name before the updated spec is available. Will chase this, and let you know once I know more.

An update on this: we should change this to _f32 (because the first suffixes were refering to the ouput type). The ACLE will be updated accordingly, and also GCC will change its current implementation (from _u32 to _f32). Many thanks for raising this issue.
Is there a volunteer to prepare a patch? Or do you have one already? :-) I could look at it, but that will be towards the end of next week.

Great, thanks!

Hmm, I was thinking _f16 based on the vmlal intrinsics: they seem to be named after the multiplication type rather than that of the accumulator/output.

Either way seems fine to me though, I'll defer to you folks.

Sure: D58306 (with _f16 though, let me know what you think of vmlal)

Thanks for checking!

FYI: a new ACLE version has been published, please find it here: https://developer.arm.com/architectures/system-architectures/software-standards/acle

The "Neon Intrinsics" section contains these new intrinsics.
