Subject: Rotate and bitselect investigation
Alexander and all,
I have investigated the rotate and bitselct issue on 7970.
Both type of rotate(manual and inbuilt opencl function) use bitalign
instruction. I investigated using rotate(x,(uint)30) and ((x << 30) | ((x
) >> 2)). Also the values loaded in the bitalign instructions are exactly
same except they operate on different registers. So you won't see any
performance increase in this case.
However with bitselct the situation is different. The inbuilt function uses
an alien bfi instruction which I couldn't find anywhere in the docs. The
manual version uses ixor and iand.
Regards,
Sayantan
