Scalable Vectorization for LLVM

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

SVE is a new vector ISA extension for AArch64 targeted at HPC applications; one major distinguishing feature is that vector registers do not have a fixed size from a compiler perspective. This talk will cover the changes made to LLVM IR to support vectorizing loops in a vector length agnostic manner, as well as improvements in vectorization enabled by the predication and gather/scatter features of the extension. See https://community.arm.com/groups/processors/blog/2016/08/22/technology-update-the-scalable-vector-extension-sve-for-the-armv8-a-architecture for more details on the architecture.
