The different kinds of RISC-V V vector loads/stores. One top-level enum which encapsulates Strided access (also used for basic unit-stride access), Indexed access, and the special cases of unit-stride access (e.g. whole-register, bytemasked, fault-only-first).

Variants

Strided

Moves elements of Self::Strided::nf vector register groups to/from contiguous segments of memory, where each segment is separated by a stride.

• The start of each segment is separated by Self::Strided::stride bytes.
• Each segment is nf * eew bits long, i.e. Self::Strided::nf elements long.
• Each element in the i-th segment maps to the i-th element of a vector register group.
• This instruction doesn’t do anything if the stored vstart >= vl.

In the simplest case, nf = 1. For example: stride = 8, eew = 32 bits = 4 bytes

base addr + (i * 8) <=> v0[i]

Increasing Self::Strided::nf makes it more complicated. For example if nf = 3, stride = 8, eew = 32 bits = 4 bytes:

base addr + (i * 8) + (0 * 4) <=> v0[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (1 * 4) <=> v1[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (2 * 4) <=> v2[i]

In the most complicated case, Self::Strided::emul may also be > 1. If EMUL = 2, nf = 3, stride = 8, eew = 32 bits = 4 bytes:

base addr + (i * 8) + (0 * 4) <=> (v0..v1)[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (1 * 4) <=> (v2..v3)[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (2 * 4) <=> (v4..v5)[i]

Element 2 of the segment maps to vector register group 2, i.e. v4 and v5, rather than v2.

Fields of Strided

stride: u64

The stride, specified in bytes TODO make this signed everywhere

dir: MemOpDir

The direction, i.e. load or store

eew: Sew

The effective element width - this is encoded in the instruction instead of copying from vtype

emul: Lmul

The effective LMUL of the operation, e.g. the size of the vector register group. Computed as (EEW/vtype.SEW)*vtype.LMUL

AFAIK this is to keep the Effective Vector Length (EVL) the same based on the element width. For example, if you set vtype = (SEW = 32, LMUL = 1) and vl = 4 to prepare for 32-bit arithmetic, and then load 4x 64-bit elements (EEW = 64), the effective LMUL of the load will double to make room.

evl: u32

The effective vector length - always equal to the current vl

nf: u8

Number of Fields for segmented access

Indexed

Moves elements of Self::Indexed::nf vector register groups to/from contiguous segments of memory, where each segment is offset by an index taken from another vector.

• The start of each segment is defined by base address + index_vector[i].
• Each segment is nf * eew bits long, i.e. Self::Indexed::nf elements long.
• Each element in the i-th segment maps to the i-th element of a vector register group.
• Accesses within each segment are not ordered relative to each other.
• If the ordered variant of this instruction is used, then the segments must be accessed in the order specified by the index vector.
• This instruction doesn’t do anything if the stored vstart >= vl.

The EEW and EMUL for the elements themselves are equal to the SEW, LMUL stored in vtype. The EEW and EMUL for the indices are defined in the instruction.

In the simplest case, nf = 1. For example:

base addr + index_vector[i] <=> v0[i]

Increasing Self::Indexed::nf makes it more complicated. For example if nf = 3, element width = 32 bits = 4 bytes:

base addr + index_vector[i] + (0 * 4) <=> v0[i]
base addr + index_vector[i] + (1 * 4) <=> v1[i]
base addr + index_vector[i] + (2 * 4) <=> v2[i]

In the most complicated case, Self::Indexed::emul may also be > 1. If EMUL = 2, nf = 3, element width = 32 bits = 4 bytes:

base addr + index_vector[i] + (0 * 4) <=> (v0..v1)[i]
base addr + index_vector[i] + (1 * 4) <=> (v2..v3)[i]
base addr + index_vector[i] + (2 * 4) <=> (v4..v5)[i]

Element 2 of the segment maps to vector register group 2, i.e. v4 and v5, rather than v2.

Fields of Indexed

ordered: bool

Whether elements must be accessed in the order specified by the index vector.

index_ew: Sew

The width of the indices. Indices are byte offsets.

index_emul: Lmul

The effective LMUL for the indices.

dir: MemOpDir

The direction, i.e. load or store

eew: Sew

The width of the elements being accessed from memory

emul: Lmul

The effective LMUL of the elements being accessed from memory. See DecodedMemOp::Strided::emul.

evl: u32

The effective vector length - always equal to the current vl

nf: u8

Number of Fields for segmented access

WholeRegister

Moves the contents of Self::WholeRegister::nf vector registers to/from a contiguous range in memory.

Fields of WholeRegister

dir: MemOpDir

The direction, i.e. load or store

num_regs: u8

The number of registers to load or store. Encoded the same way as nf for other instructions. Must be power-of-2

eew: Sew

The width of the elements being accessed. This doesn’t impact the result, but Load variants of this instruction exist for each type

ByteMask

Moves the contents of a mask register to/from a contiguous range of memory.

This instruction transfers at least vl bits into the mask register, one bit for each element that could be used in subsequent vector instructions.

It is therefore equivalent to a unit-stride load where

• EVL = ceil(vl/8)
• EEW = 8-bits
• EMUL = 1 (The maximum LMUL is 8, thus vl/8 bytes must be able to fit into a single vector register)
• the tail-agnostic setting is always on

Fields of ByteMask

dir: MemOpDir

The direction, i.e. load or store

evl: u32

The number of bytes to load, i.e. ceil(vl/8)

FaultOnlyFirst

Loads elements from contiguous segments in memory into Self::FaultOnlyFirst::nf vector register groups. If an exception is encountered while loading elements from segment 0, it is trapped as usual. However, an exception encountered after that point is ignored, and vl is set to the current segment instead.

• The start of the range is defined by base address.
• Each segment is nf * eew bits long, i.e. Self::FaultOnlyFirst::nf elements long.
• Each element in the i-th segment maps to the i-th element of a vector register group.
• Accesses within each segment are not ordered relative to each other.
• This instruction doesn’t do anything if the stored vstart >= vl.

The mappings of address to element are the same as for DecodedMemOp::Strided, where the stride = the element width.

These accesses can trap an exception
base addr + (0 * 8) + (0 * 4) <=> (v0..v1)[0]
base addr + (0 * 8) + (1 * 4) <=> (v2..v3)[0]
base addr + (0 * 8) + (2 * 4) <=> (v4..v5)[0]
 
These accesses set vl = i on an exception, where i != 0
base addr + (i * 8) + (0 * 4) <=> (v0..v1)[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (1 * 4) <=> (v2..v3)[i]
base addr + (i * 8) + (2 * 4) <=> (v4..v5)[i]

Fields of FaultOnlyFirst

eew: Sew

The width of the elements being accessed from memory

emul: Lmul

The effective LMUL of the operation. See DecodedMemOp::Strided::emul.

evl: u32

The effective vector length - always equal to the current vl

nf: u8

Number of Fields for segmented access
