__m512i array

lin__chiungliang — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 09:41:30 GMT

I'm trying to write code by VNNI

There is a data type - __m512i

which I think is mapping to registers on CPU.

I'd like to locate an array of registers

Here is the code

#include <immintrin.h>
int main()
{
        const int size = 5;

        __m512i zero[size];

        for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
        {
                zero = _mm512_setzero_si512();
        }

        return 0;
}

It works.

But when I try dynamic allocate memory

It doesn't work

#include <immintrin.h>
int main()
{
        const int size = 5;

        __m512i *zero = new __m512i[size];

        for(int i=0; i<size; i++)
        {
                zero = _mm512_setzero_si512();
        }

        delete [] zero;

        return 0;
}

Is there any way to create registers dynamically?

Lot of thanks

Hi Chiungliang

We are forwarding your case to SME to check.

Before we dive into this intrinsic question, can you explain why you mention VNNI here?

the intrinsic call may not involve VNNI instruction like vpdpbusd.

For VNNI intrinsic function, you can refer below wiki for detail.

Hi,

I tried to do MAC operation, and the first step is to reset registers.

Here is the code of the first step only.

Since I want to introduce "batch", which is defined as "the number of reused time", in my code.

I'd like to allocate registers dynamically.

Hi chiungliang

sorry for late response.

this question is more related to general compiler issue, and it would be better to let our compiler experts to answer this question.

This forum can help on DL libraries and framework related questions, but you should get better support for intrinsic programming in compiler forum.

Would you mind posting the same question in below forum?

Ok, I have posted the question in the forum.

Closing this case as it is
