This directory contains mpn functions for various HP PA-RISC chips. Code
that runs faster on the PA7100 and later implementations, is in the pa7100
directory.
RELEVANT OPTIMIZATION ISSUES
Load and Store timing
On the PA7000 no memory instructions can issue the two cycles after a store.
For the PA7100, this is reduced to one cycle.
The PA7100 has a lookup-free cache, so it helps to schedule loads and the
dependent instruction really far from each other.
STATUS
1. mpn_mul_1 could be improved to 6.5 cycles/limb on the PA7100, using the
instructions bwlow (but some sw pipelining is needed to avoid the
xmpyu-fstds delay):
fldds s1_ptr
xmpyu
fstds N(%r30)
xmpyu
fstds N(%r30)
ldws N(%r30)
ldws N(%r30)
ldws N(%r30)
ldws N(%r30)
addc
stws res_ptr
addc
stws res_ptr
addib Loop
2. mpn_addmul_1 could be improved from the current 10 to 7.5 cycles/limb
(asymptotically) on the PA7100, using the instructions below. With proper
sw pipelining and the unrolling level below, the speed becomes 8
cycles/limb.
