| -- General description -- |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| -- This is the root of a package hierarchy offering an Ada binding to the |
| -- PowerPC AltiVec extensions, a set of 128bit vector types together with a |
| -- set of subprograms operating on them. Relevant documents are: |
| |
| -- o AltiVec Technology, Programming Interface Manual (1999-06) |
| -- to which we will refer as [PIM], describes the data types, the |
| -- functional interface and the ABI conventions. |
| |
| -- o AltiVec Technology, Programming Environments Manual (2002-02) |
| -- to which we will refer as [PEM], describes the hardware architecture |
| -- and instruction set. |
| |
| -- These documents, as well as a number of others of general interest on the |
| -- AltiVec technology, are available from the Motorola/AltiVec Web site at: |
| |
| -- http://www.freescale.com/altivec |
| |
| -- The binding interface is structured to allow alternate implementations: |
| -- for real AltiVec capable targets, and for other targets. In the latter |
| -- case, everything is emulated in software. The two versions are referred |
| -- to as: |
| |
| -- o The Hard binding for AltiVec capable targets (with the appropriate |
| -- hardware support and corresponding instruction set) |
| |
| -- o The Soft binding for other targets (with the low level primitives |
| -- emulated in software). |
| |
| -- In addition, interfaces that are not strictly part of the base AltiVec API |
| -- are provided, such as vector conversions to and from array representations, |
| -- which are of interest for client applications (e.g. for vector |
| -- initialization purposes). |
| |
| -- Only the soft binding is available today |
| |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| -- General package architecture survey -- |
| ----------------------------------------- |
| |
| -- The various vector representations are all "containers" of elementary |
| -- values, the possible types of which are declared in this root package to |
| -- be generally accessible. |
| |
| -- From the user standpoint, the binding materializes as a consistent |
| -- hierarchy of units: |
| |
| -- GNAT.Altivec |
| -- (component types) |
| -- | |
| -- o----------------o----------------o-------------o |
| -- | | | | |
| -- Vector_Types Vector_Operations Vector_Views Conversions |
| |
| -- The user can manipulate vectors through two families of types: Vector |
| -- types and View types. |
| |
| -- Vector types are defined in the GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Types package |
| |
| -- On these types, users can apply the Altivec operations defined in |
| -- GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Operations. Their layout is opaque and may vary across |
| -- configurations, for it is typically target-endianness dependant. |
| |
| -- Vector_Types and Vector_Operations implement the core binding to the |
| -- AltiVec API, as described in [PIM-2.1 data types] and [PIM-4 AltiVec |
| -- operations and predicates]. |
| |
| -- View types are defined in the GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Views package |
| |
| -- These types do not represent Altivec vectors per se, in the sense that the |
| -- Altivec_Operations are not available for them. They are intended to allow |
| -- Vector initializations as well as access to the Vector component values. |
| |
| -- The GNAT.Altivec.Conversions package is provided to convert a View to the |
| -- corresponding Vector and vice-versa. |
| |
| --------------------------- |
| -- Underlying principles -- |
| --------------------------- |
| |
| -- Internally, the binding relies on an abstraction of the Altivec API, a |
| -- rich set of functions around a core of low level primitives mapping to |
| -- AltiVec instructions. See for instance "vec_add" in [PIM-4.4 Generic and |
| -- Specific AltiVec operations], with no less than six result/arguments |
| -- combinations of byte vector types that map to "vaddubm". |
| |
| -- The "soft" version is a software emulation of the low level primitives. |
| |
| -- The "hard" version would map to real AltiVec instructions via GCC builtins |
| -- and inlining. |
| |
| ------------------- |
| -- Example usage -- |
| ------------------- |
| |
| -- Here is a sample program declaring and initializing two vectors, 'add'ing |
| -- them and displaying the result components: |
| |
| -- with GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Types; use GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Types; |
| -- with GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Operations; use GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Operations; |
| -- with GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Views; use GNAT.Altivec.Vector_Views; |
| -- with GNAT.Altivec.Conversions; use GNAT.Altivec.Conversions; |
| |
| -- use GNAT.Altivec; |
| |
| -- with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO; |
| |
| -- procedure Sample is |
| -- Va : Vector_Unsigned_Int := To_Vector ((Values => (1, 2, 3, 4))); |
| -- Vb : Vector_Unsigned_Int := To_Vector ((Values => (1, 2, 3, 4))); |
| |
| -- Vs : Vector_Unsigned_Int; |
| -- Vs_View : VUI_View; |
| -- begin |
| -- Vs := Vec_Add (Va, Vb); |
| -- Vs_View := To_View (Vs); |
| |
| -- for I in Vs_View.Values'Range loop |
| -- Put_Line (Unsigned_Int'Image (Vs_View.Values (I))); |
| -- end loop; |
| -- end; |
| |
| -- $ gnatmake sample.adb |
| -- [...] |
| -- $ ./sample |

| -- "A defined data item of any vector data type in memory is always |
| -- aligned on a 16-byte boundary. A pointer to any vector data type always |
| -- points to a 16-byte boundary. The compiler is responsible for aligning |
| -- vector data types on 16-byte boundaries." |
| |
| VECTOR_ALIGNMENT : constant := Natural'Min (16, Standard'Maximum_Alignment); |
| -- This value is used to set the alignment of vector datatypes in both the |
| -- hard and the soft binding implementations. |
| -- |
| -- We want this value to never be greater than 16, because none of the |
| -- binding implementations requires larger alignments and such a value |
| -- would cause useless space to be allocated/wasted for vector objects. |
| -- Furthermore, the alignment of 16 matches the hard binding leading to |
| -- a more faithful emulation. |
| -- |
| -- It needs to be exactly 16 for the hard binding, and the initializing |
| -- expression is just right for this purpose since Maximum_Alignment is |
| -- expected to be 16 for the real Altivec ABI. |
| -- |
| -- The soft binding doesn't rely on strict 16byte alignment, and we want |
| -- the value to be no greater than Standard'Maximum_Alignment in this case |
| -- to ensure it is supported on every possible target. |
