From: Reshma Roy <[email protected]>
Transform uniform gather operations into optimized scalar load + broadcast
instead of emulated gather with N individual scalar loads.
BEFORE (Emulated Gather - 8 loads for VF=8):
for each lane i in 0..7:
offset[i] = BIT_FIELD_REF<offset_vector, i>
addr[i] = base + offset[i] * scale
result[i] = MEM[addr[i]]
result_vector = {result[0], ..., result[7]}
AFTER (Broadcast - 1 load):
offset = BIT_FIELD_REF<offset_vector, 0>
addr = base + offset * scale
scalar_val = MEM[addr]
result_vector = VEC_DUPLICATE_EXPR(scalar_val)
v2 changes:
- Keep the full loop (k = 0 ??? const_nunits-1) but only
perform the scalar load once and reuse elt for all lanes
- Since VEC_DUPLICATE_EXPR is for VLA/scalable vector types only
removed that and added constructor
- Removed the SSA copy by refactoring the code
gcc/ChangeLog:
* tree-vect-stmts.cc (vectorizable_load): Generate broadcast for
uniform gather offsets.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* g++.dg/vect/vect-uniform-broadcast-neg.c: New test.
* g++.dg/vect/vect-uniform-broadcast-op2-var.c: New test.
* g++.dg/vect/vect-uniform-broadcast.c: New test.
