The LLVM and GCC teams agreed to rename the __builtin_mma_assemble_pair and
__builtin_mma_disassemble_pair built-ins to __builtin_vsx_assemble_pair and
__builtin_vsx_disassemble_pair respectively. This patch is to make
corresponding changes in dgemm kernel. Also made changes in
inputs to those builtins to avoid some potential typecasting issues.
Reference gcc commit id:77ef995c1fbcab76a2a69b9f4700bcfd005d8e62
For the first iteration, it is better to use xvf*ger instead of xvf*gerpp
builtins which helps to avoid setting accumulators to zero. This helps
to reduce few instructions.
There is a recent compiler change in __builtin_mma_disassemble_acc() which
affects the order of storing result in POWER10. Also removing new LDFLAG
-mno-power10-stub as it is handled by linker automatically.
This patch introduces new optimized version of SGEMM, CGEMM and DGEMM
using power10 Matrix-Multiply Assist (MMA) feature introduced in
POWER ISA v3.1. This patch makes use of new POWER10 compute instructions
for matrix multiplication operation.
Tested on simulator and there are no new test failures.
Cycles count reduced by 30-50% compared to POWER9 version depending on
M/N/K sizes.
