for zip, you don’t need to use vrgather. instead, use vector widening (eg vwaddu with x0) to double the element size (ensuring the MSBs are 0) for one half of the set.  
apply vslide1up and widening to the second set, then add the two sets (using original SEW).

for unzip, you can do the reverse. use narrowing for one half and vslide1dn (in SEW/2) + narrowing for the other half.

sorry, what is trn?

Hi,



I agree that computing those indexes is not always trivial



Some ideas you can consider (not claiming these are the most

efficient ways)






  • reverse is not too complex: vid.v + vrsub.vx using vl as the

    scalar to subtract




  • zip is harder: start with the "halved indexes" vid + vsrl.vi

    (0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, ...) then compute the "even elements"

    vector (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, ...) and then multiply it (or if a

    power of two, shift) with the first index of the second vector

    (which maybe is vl/2 in your case). So you get 0, vl/2, 0, vl/2,

    0, vl/2, .... Then add this vector to the halved indexes so you

    get 0, vl/2, 1, 1+vl/2, 2, 2+vl/2, ...




  • unzip worst of the cases you can reverse what you did for zip




  • trn I don't have any ideas from the top of my head, /cc Romain

    Dolbeau who may recall how he worked around the cases in FFTW

    where he needed a trn-like operation




Hope this helps.



Kind regards,

Dear  Craig and Roger,







     ​    ​Thanks a lot for providing  me  good

solutionI have tried them,  they are all good solutions of 

upsample application.


    ​    ​ But, when it comes to other applications, such  as zip/unzip,

trn,reverse and  so on.  The Index value  is 
still difficult to be initialized.

Hi Linjie,



I'm not sure I understood your question. I think a vid.v (with a vl of your choice) that then you

(logical) shift right 1 bit (vsrl.vi)

would generate an index like the one you have now the "index[]" array.




This looks like it does not require to hardcode any size and

you don't have to load a materialised value from memory (you

compute it instead).



Hope this helps.




Kind regards,

Hi, all







    I encountered a difficulty of applying

 "vrgather" instruction recently.  The details are shown blow:


    The date from source should be duplicated as pair

in a upsample application. 


     Eg:  src = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]


           dst =  [0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5,

5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8]


     So, my relazation is:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


  int inex[64] = {0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5

........,31,31};// to be compatibled of all the VLEN(128

~ 1024)







   vfloat32m2_t data = vundefined_f32m2();




    vfloat32m1_t  zero =

( vfloat32m1_t )vmv_v_i_i32m1(0);


   while(length >0)


    {


         int gvl = vsetvl_e32m1(length);


        vuint32m2_t v_index = vle32_v_u32m2(index,

gvl);




         vfloat32m1_t src_data = vle32_v_f32m1(src,

gvl);


         data = vset_f32m2(data, src_data, 0);




         data  = vset_f32m2(data, zero, 1);


         vfloat32m2_t res =

vrrgather_vv_f32m2(data, v_index, gvl); 
 


         length -=gvl;




         src += gvl;




        vse32_v_f32m2(out, res, gvl);


        dst +=gvl;




    }


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  


    As shown before, the index data should be

 initialized as the max VLEN to make the code  compatibled.


So do all the

applications, that need a constant.


    I think it is

contrary to the idea of RISC-V, that one code can run

on all the RISC-V hardware.  Does anyone have a better

method ? 













Best Regards

version 1.0-rc1-20210608





I've just tagged the first release candidate for v1.0 of the vector


spec in github.  PDF attached below.





I've included the TG agreed updates and handled almost all of the


outstanding issues for v1.0.  Thanks for all the feedback.





I would appreciate if folks could read through the whole thing and


give comments over email and through Github issues.  Please also


submit PRs for typos and other wording improvements.





I'd like to try and settle most concerns over email if possible, and


assume it'll take a little while for everyone to go through the doc.





I'll tentatively schedule a vector TG meeting on Friday June 25 to go


over issues best dealt with on a call.  I'm hoping we can enter public


review at the same point in time.  Remember, we don't have to reach


agreement on all the issues before starting public review, just be OK


as a group with putting this out for public review.
