The MIPS DSP Application-Specific Extension (ASE) includes new instructions that are designed to improve the performance of DSP and media applications. It provides instructions that operate on packed 8-bit/16-bit integer data, Q7, Q15 and Q31 fractional data.
GCC supports MIPS DSP operations using both the generic vector extensions (see Vector Extensions) and a collection of MIPS-specific built-in functions. Both kinds of support are enabled by the -mdsp command-line option.
Revision 2 of the ASE was introduced in the second half of 2006. This revision adds extra instructions to the original ASE, but is otherwise backwards-compatible with it. You can select revision 2 using the command-line option -mdspr2; this option implies -mdsp.
The SCOUNT and POS bits of the DSP control register are global. The WRDSP, EXTPDP, EXTPDPV and MTHLIP instructions modify the SCOUNT and POS bits. During optimization, the compiler does not delete these instructions and it does not delete calls to functions containing these instructions.
At present, GCC only provides support for operations on 32-bit
vectors. The vector type associated with 8-bit integer data is
usually called v4i8, the vector type associated with Q7
is usually called v4q7, the vector type associated with 16-bit
integer data is usually called v2i16, and the vector type
associated with Q15 is usually called v2q15. They can be
defined in C as follows:
typedef signed char v4i8 __attribute__ ((vector_size(4))); typedef signed char v4q7 __attribute__ ((vector_size(4))); typedef short v2i16 __attribute__ ((vector_size(4))); typedef short v2q15 __attribute__ ((vector_size(4)));
v4i8, v4q7, v2i16 and v2q15 values are
initialized in the same way as aggregates. For example:
v4i8 a = {1, 2, 3, 4};
v4i8 b;
b = (v4i8) {5, 6, 7, 8};
v2q15 c = {0x0fcb, 0x3a75};
v2q15 d;
d = (v2q15) {0.1234 * 0x1.0p15, 0.4567 * 0x1.0p15};
Note: The CPU’s endianness determines the order in which values
are packed. On little-endian targets, the first value is the least
significant and the last value is the most significant. The opposite
order applies to big-endian targets. For example, the code above
sets the lowest byte of a to 1 on little-endian targets
and 4 on big-endian targets.
Note: Q7, Q15 and Q31 values must be initialized with their integer
representation. As shown in this example, the integer representation
of a Q7 value can be obtained by multiplying the fractional value by
0x1.0p7. The equivalent for Q15 values is to multiply by
0x1.0p15. The equivalent for Q31 values is to multiply by
0x1.0p31.
The table below lists the v4i8 and v2q15 operations for which
hardware support exists. a and b are v4i8 values,
and c and d are v2q15 values.
| C code | MIPS instruction |
a + b | addu.qb |
c + d | addq.ph |
a - b | subu.qb |
c - d | subq.ph |
The table below lists the v2i16 operation for which
hardware support exists for the DSP ASE REV 2. e and f are
v2i16 values.
| C code | MIPS instruction |
e * f | mul.ph |
It is easier to describe the DSP built-in functions if we first define the following types:
typedef int q31; typedef int i32; typedef unsigned int ui32; typedef long long a64;
q31 and i32 are actually the same as int, but we
use q31 to indicate a Q31 fractional value and i32 to
indicate a 32-bit integer value. Similarly, a64 is the same as
long long, but we use a64 to indicate values that are
placed in one of the four DSP accumulators ($ac0,
$ac1, $ac2 or $ac3).
Also, some built-in functions prefer or require immediate numbers as parameters, because the corresponding DSP instructions accept both immediate numbers and register operands, or accept immediate numbers only. The immediate parameters are listed as follows.
imm0_3: 0 to 3. imm0_7: 0 to 7. imm0_15: 0 to 15. imm0_31: 0 to 31. imm0_63: 0 to 63. imm0_255: 0 to 255. imm_n32_31: -32 to 31. imm_n512_511: -512 to 511.
The following built-in functions map directly to a particular MIPS DSP instruction. Please refer to the architecture specification for details on what each instruction does.
