一、SIMD today

1.1 x86: MMX, SSE, AVX, AVX2, AVX-512

8 64-bit registers (MMX) to 32 512-bit registers (AVX-512)

1.2 ARM: NEON, SVE, SVE2

32 128-bit registers (NEON) to 32 128-2048-bit in SVE

1.3 POWER: VMX/AltiVec

32 128-bit registers

1.4 MIPS: MSA LASX

32 128-bit registers in  32 128-bit registers in  LASX(only Loongson expand)

 

二、JVM and SIMD today

2.1 Automatic vectorization of Java code

Superword optimizations （-XX：+UseSuperWord）in HotSpot C2 compiler to derive SIMD code from sequential code.

缺点：And applied only to unrolled loops. Superword optimizations can be very brittle doesn’t (and can’t) cover all the use cases.

2.2  JVM intrinsics

e.g., Array copying, filling, and comparison

缺点：Intrinsics are point fixes, not general powerful, lightweight, and flexible high development costs

2.3 Vector API

JEP 338: “Vector API (Incubator)”

reliable way to write performant vectorized code.

int[] A, B, C
for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i++) {
A[i] = B[i] + C[i];
}

equal:

var S = IntVector.SPECIES_PREFERRED;
for (int i = 0; i < MAX; i += S.length()) {
var va = IntVector.fromArray(S, A, i);
var vb = IntVector.fromArray(S, B, i);
var vc = va.add(vb);
vc.intoArray(C, i);
}
