On BtVer2 conditional SIMD stores are heavily microcoded.
The latency is directly proportional to the number of packed elements extracted
from the input vector. Also, according to micro-benchmarks, most of the
computation seems to be done in the integer unit.
Only a minority of the uOPs is executed by the FPU. The observed behaviour on
the FPU looks similar to this:
- The input MASK value is moved to the Integer Unit
-- [ a VMOVMSK-like uOP-executed on JFPU0].
- In parallel, each element of the input XMM/YMM is extracted and then sent to
the IntegerUnit through JFPU1.
As expected, a (conditional) store is executed for every extracted element.
Interestingly, a (speculative) load is executed for every extracted element too.
It is as-if a "LOAD - BIT_EXTRACT- CMOV" sequence of uOPs is repeated by the
integer unit for every contionally stored element.
VMASKMOVDQU is a special case: the number of speculative loads is always 2
(presumably, one load per quadword). That means, extra shifts and masking is
performed on (one of) the loaded quadwords before each conditional store (that
also explains the big number of non-FP uOPs retired).
This patch replaces the existing writes for conditional SIMD stores (i.e.
WriteFMaskedStore, and WriteFMaskedStoreY) with the following new writes:
WriteFMaskedStore32 [ XMM Packed Single ]
WriteFMaskedStore32Y [ YMM Packed Single ]
WriteFMaskedStore64 [ XMM Packed Double ]
WriteFMaskedStore64Y [ YMM Packed Double ]
Added a wrapper class named X86SchedWriteMaskMove in X86Schedule.td to describe
both RM and MR variants for conditional SIMD moves in a single tablegen
definition.
Instances of that class are then passed in input to multiclass avx_movmask_rm
when constructing MASKMOVPS/PD definitions.
Since this patch introduces new writes, I had to update all the X86 scheduling
models.
