SPO 600 Project : Auto-vectorization with iFunc - Stage 2

How to enable SVE and SVE2 on aarch64 systems:

gcc -g -O3 -c march=armv8-a+sve ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
gcc -g -O3 -c march=armv8-a+sve2 ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

How to enable SMID on aarch64 system:

gcc -g -O3 -march=armv8-a ...
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

I was having difficulty in deciding which language to choose. Initiall I went with pyton as I had thought it will be easy. Then as the complexity of the project increase I decide to go with C as I thought the it would be the choise as we get to use gcc the again I chose python after Chris recomended it.

My code can be found at:
https://github.com/smitgabani/spo600_project

Clone professors test code repo from;
https://github.com/ctyler/spo600-fall2022-project-test-code.git

I have used make header utility used by some of my friends.
https://github.com/bjconlan/makeheaders.git

Step 1
Start implementing 3 functions for different modules:

I started by going through some code that Chris provided and seperated the code.
Parse the string in order to get the function prototype and name. This took a lot of time.

Now I will use the header utility as mentioned above.
Next produce a code file called header.c and place the extracted prototype on top of that file.

Then get the name of the function in the test code and add a prefix to the name
for eg.
If the funtion's name is foo make three files foo_sve foo_sve2 foo_adSMID.

Step 2
Make a resolver function that will have the logic to choose what implementation will be run

Step 3

Testing on VS Code:

Error are due to the architecture.

To check the output we need to run the process on israel machine as the machine supports the architecutre.

Testing on Israel SPO600 server:

Emulating different stytems using different architecture.

So far the tool has errors.
