Re: [DynInst_API:] decoding intel GPU instructions

Hi Tim,

I didn’t think you were working on instruction decoding for Intel GPUs. I just wanted to make sure that you knew that GTPin was not necessary in case you ever were considering it.

Best,

Hi, John.

Thanks for the correction. I mentioned that in passing with Mark as a specific example of the possibility of supporting multiple instruction decoders within Dyninst. I apologize if there was any implication that I'm working on Intel GPU instruction decoding- I am not.

Thanks.

I heard from Mark that Tim thought that I would recommend GTPin for decoding Intel GPU instructions. Nope. The right thing is IGA - the Intel Graphics Assembler API. For an example how to use it, see our code to build a CFG using it: https://gitlab.com/hpctoolkit/hpctoolkit/-/blob/develop/src/hpcstruct/intel/GPUCFG_Intel.cpp.  The API is described in the Intel header files included.

Best,

John
