-This directory contains mpn functions for various SPARC chips. Code that |
-runs only on version 8 SPARC implementations, is in the v8 subdirectory. |

-RELEVANT OPTIMIZATION ISSUES |
- |
- Load and Store timing |
- |
-On most early SPARC implementations, the ST instructions takes multiple |
-cycles, while a STD takes just a single cycle more than an ST. For the CPUs |
-in SPARCstation I and II, the times are 3 and 4 cycles, respectively. |
-Therefore, combining two ST instructions into a STD when possible is a |
-significant optimization. |
- |
-Later SPARC implementations have single cycle ST. |
- |
-For SuperSPARC, we can perform just one memory instruction per cycle, even |
-if up to two integer instructions can be executed in its pipeline. For |
-programs that perform so many memory operations that there are not enough |
-non-memory operations to issue in parallel with all memory operations, using |
-LDD and STD when possible helps. |
- |
-UltraSPARC-1/2 has very slow integer multiplication. In the v9 subdirectory, |
-we therefore use floating-point multiplication. |
- |
-STATUS |
- |
-1. On a SuperSPARC, mpn_lshift and mpn_rshift run at 3 cycles/limb, or 2.5 |
- cycles/limb asymptotically. We could optimize speed for special counts |
- by using ADDXCC. |
- |
-2. On a SuperSPARC, mpn_add_n and mpn_sub_n runs at 2.5 cycles/limb, or 2 |
- cycles/limb asymptotically. |
- |
-3. mpn_mul_1 runs at what is believed to be optimal speed. |
- |
-4. On SuperSPARC, mpn_addmul_1 and mpn_submul_1 could both be improved by a |
- cycle by avoiding one of the add instructions. See a29k/addmul_1. |
- |
-The speed of the code for other SPARC implementations is uncertain. |
