使用SIMD指令执行任意128/256/512位置换的最快方法是什么?

J B*_*sch 11 c++ assembly sse avx avx2

我想在宽度为128,256或512位的CPU寄存器(xmm,ymm或zmm)上执行单个位,位对和半字节(4位)的任意置换; 这应该尽可能快.为此,我正在研究SIMD指令.有没有人知道这样做的方法/实现它的库?我在Windows上使用MSVC,在Linux上使用GCC,主机语言是C或C++.谢谢!

我给了一个任意的排列,需要改组大量的位向量/对位向量/半字节.我知道如何为64位值内的位执行此操作,例如使用Benes网络.

或在更广泛的SIMD寄存器,例如使用昂纳雾的GPL协议VectorClass库(洗牌周围的8位和更大的块https://www.agner.org/optimize/vectorclass.pdf)为构建洗牌出来的模板元编程功能在给予shuffle作为模板参数的情况下,AVX2通道内字节混洗和/或大元素通道混洗.


然而,对于置换的更细粒度细分 - 分为1,2或4位块 - 似乎很难在宽向量上实现.

我能够对排列进行预处理,例如提取位掩码,根据需要计算索引,例如Benes网络,或者其他任何东西 - 很高兴在另一种高级语言中这样做,所以假设排列以最方便解决问题的格式给出; 包括小型查找表.

我希望代码比做类似的事情要快得多

// actually 1 bit per element, not byte.  I want a 256-bit bit-shuffle
const uint8_t in[256] = get_some_vector(); // not a compile-time constant
const uint8_t perm[256] = ...;             // compile-time constant
uint8_t out[256];
for (size_t i = 0; i < 256; i ++)
    out[i] = in[perm[i]];

正如我所说的,我有一个<= 64位(64位,32位对和16位半字节)的解决方案.在较宽的SIMD寄存器上,对于大小为8,16,32等的块也解决了该问题.

编辑:澄清一下,置换是一个编译时常量(但不仅仅是一个特定的,我会根据给定的排列编译程序).

AVX2 256位置换情况

我认为不可能编写一个有效的通用SSE4/AVX2/AVX-512算法,该算法适用于所有矢量大小(128,256,512位)和元素粒度(位,位对,半字节,字节).一个问题是,对于双字元素,存在用于例如字节大小元素的许多AVX2指令,反之亦然.

下面讨论AVX2 256位置换情况.对于其他案例,有可能回收本案例的想法.

想法是从输入向量每步提取32(置换)比特x.在每个步骤pos中,读取来自置换矢量的32个字节.这些pos字节的第7..3位确定x需要哪个字节.通过Ermlg在此处编码的模拟256位宽AVX2通道交叉字节混洗选择右字节.pos字节的2..0位确定寻找哪个位.随着_mm256_movemask_epi832位被收集在一起_uint32_t 这个步骤重复8次,得到所有256个置换位.

代码看起来不是很优雅.然而,如果存在明显更快,比如说快两倍的AVX2方法,我会感到惊讶.

效率

如果仔细查看算法,您会发现某些操作仅取决于置换向量pos,而不是依赖于置换向量x.这意味着将变量x和变量应用于置换pos应该比使用变量x和变量应用置换更有效pos.

这由以下代码说明:

/* apply the same permutation several times */
int perm_array(__m256i* restrict x_in, uint8_t* restrict pos, __m256i* restrict x_out){
    for (int i = 0; i<1024; i++){

使用clang和gcc,这可以编译成非常 好的代码:.L5第237行的循环只包含16 vpshufb秒而不是24秒.此外,vpaddbs被提升出循环.请注意,vpermq循环内部也只有一个.

我不知道MSVC是否会在循环外提升这么多指令.如果不是,则可以通过手动修改代码来提高循环的性能.应该这样做,使得仅依赖于pos而不是依赖的操作x在循环外被提升.

关于英特尔Skylake的性能:该环路的吞吐量可能受到每个环路迭代约32个端口5微操作的限制.这意味着循环上下文中的吞吐量例如perm_array是每32个CPU周期大约256个置换位,或者每个CPU周期大约8个置换位.


使用AVX2指令的128位排列

此代码与256位置换情况非常相似.虽然只有128位置换,但AVX2寄存器的完整256位宽度用于实现最佳性能.这里不模拟字节混洗.这是因为存在一条有效的单指令来在128位通道内进行字节混洗:vpshufb.

函数perm_array_128测试位置换的性能,用于固定置换和变量输入x.如果我们假设Intel Skylake CPU,汇编循环包含大约11个端口5(p5)微操作.这11个p5微操作至少需要11个CPU周期(吞吐量).因此,在最好的情况下,我们获得每周期约12个置换位的吞吐量,这大约是256位置换情况的1.5倍.
