We have already disabled common uniform elimination because it created
sequences of loads an entire uniform object, then we extract just a
single element. This caused problems in some drivers, and is just
generally slow because it loads more memory than needed.
However, there are other way to get into this situation, so I've added
a pass that looks specifically for this pattern and removes it when only
a portion of the load is used.
Fixes#1547.
The sprir-v generated from HLSL code contain many copyies of very large
arrays. Not only are these time consumming, but they also cause
problems for drivers because they require too much space.
To work around this, we will implement an array copy propagation. Note
that we will not implement a complete array data flow analysis in order
to implement this. We will be looking for very simple cases:
1) The source must never be stored to.
2) The target must be stored to exactly once.
3) The store to the target must be a store to the entire array, and be a
copy of the entire source.
4) All loads of the target must be dominated by the store.
The hard part is keeping all of the types correct. We do not want to
have to do too large a search to update everything, which may not be
possible, do we give up if we see any instruction that might be hard to
update.
Also in types.h, the element decorations are not stored in an std::map.
This change was done so the hashing algorithm for a Struct is
consistent. With the std::unordered_map, the traversal order was
non-deterministic leading to the same type getting hashed to different
values. See |Struct::GetExtraHashWords|.
Contributes to #1416.
The loop peeler util takes a loop as input and create a new one before.
The iterator of the duplicated loop then set to accommodate the number
of iteration required for the peeling.
The loop peeling pass that decided to do the peeling and profitability
analysis is left for a follow-up PR.
It moves all conditional branching and switch whose conditions are loop
invariant and uniform. Before performing the loop unswitch we check that
the loop does not contain any instruction that would prevent it
(barriers, group instructions etc.).
This patch adds initial support for loop unrolling in the form of a
series of utility classes which perform the unrolling. The pass can
be run with the command spirv-opt --loop-unroll. This will unroll
loops within the module which have the unroll hint set. The unroller
imposes a number of requirements on the loops it can unroll. These are
documented in the comments for the LoopUtils::CanPerformUnroll method in
loop_utils.h. Some of the restrictions will be lifted in future patches.
Create the folding engine that will
1) attempt to fold an instruction.
2) iterates on the folding so small folding rules can be easily combined.
3) insert new instructions when needed.
I've added the minimum number of rules needed to test the features above.
This patch adds LoopUtils class to handle some loop related transformations. For now it has 2 transformations that simplifies other transformations such as loop unroll or unswitch:
- Dedicate exit blocks: this ensure that all exit basic block
(out-of-loop basic blocks that have a predecessor in the loop)
have all their predecessors in the loop;
- Loop Closed SSA (LCSSA): this ensure that all definitions in a loop are used inside the loop
or in a phi instruction in an exit basic block.
It also adds the following capabilities:
- Loop::IsLCSSA to test if the loop is in a LCSSA form
- Loop::GetOrCreatePreHeaderBlock that can build a loop preheader if required;
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the loop descriptors.
- New methods to allow on the fly updates of the CFG analysis.
- Instruction::SetOperand to allow expression of the index relative to Instruction::NumOperands (to be compatible with the index returned by DefUseManager::ForEachUse)
* Had to remove templating from InstructionBuilder as a result
* now preserved analyses are specified as a constructor argument
* updated tests and uses
* changed static_assert to a runtime assert
* this should probably get further changes in the future
* Handles simple cases only
* Identifies phis in blocks with two predecessors and attempts to
convert the phi to an select
* does not perform code motion currently so the converted values must
dominate the join point (e.g. can't be defined in the branches)
* limited for now to two predecessors, but can be extended to handle
more cases
* Adding if conversion to -O and -Os
The class factorize the instruction building process.
Def-use manager analysis can be updated on the fly to maintain coherency.
To be updated to take into account more analysis.
