If not, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/. There are 5 generations of 64-bit s390 processors, z900, z990, z9, z10, and z196. The current GMP code was optimised for the two oldest, z900 and z990. mpn_copyi This code makes use of a loop around MVC. It almost surely runs very close to optimally. A small improvement could be done by using one MVC for size 256 bytes, now we use two (we use an extra MVC when copying any multiple of 256 bytes). mpn_copyd We have tried several feed-in variants here, branch tree, jump table and computed goto. The fastest (on z990) turned out to be computed goto. An approach not tried is EX of LMG and STMG, modifying the register set on-the-fly. Using that trick, we could completely avoid using separate feed-in paths. mpn_lshift, mpn_rshift The current code runs at pipeline decode bandwidth on z990. mpn_add_n, mpn_sub_n The current code is 4-way unrolled. It should be unrolled more, at least 8x, in order to reach 2.5 c/l. mpn_mul_1, mpn_addmul_1, mpn_submul_1 The current code is very naive, but due to the non-pipelined nature of MLGR on z900 and z990, more sophisticated code would not gain much. On z10 one would need to cluster at least 4 MLGR together, in order to reduce stalling. On z196, one surely want to use unrolling and pipelining, to perhaps reach around 12 c/l. A major issue here and on z10 is ALCGR's 3 cycle stalling. mpn_mul_2, mpn_addmul_2 At least for older machines (z900, z990) with very slow MLGR, we should use Karatsuba's algorithm on 2-limb units, making mul_2 and addmul_2 the main multiplication primitives. The newer machines might benefit less from this approach, perhaps in particular z10, where MLGR clustering is more important. With Karatsuba, one could hope for around 16 cycles per accumulated 128 cross product, on z990. |
