TCVT tile operation

Introduction

Elementwise type conversion with a specified rounding mode.

Math Interpretation

For each element (i, j) in the valid region:

\[ \mathrm{dst}_{i,j} = \mathrm{cast}_{\mathrm{rmode}}\!\left(\mathrm{src}_{i,j}\right) \]

where rmode is a rounding policy (see pto::RoundMode).

Assembly Syntax

PTO-AS form: see PTO-AS Specification.

Synchronous form:

%dst = tcvt %src {rmode = #pto.round_mode<CAST_RINT>} : !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

AS Level 1 (SSA)

%dst = pto.tcvt %src{rmode = #pto<round_mode xx>}: !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

AS Level 2 (DPS)

pto.tcvt ins(%src{rmode = #pto<round_mode xx>}: !pto.tile_buf<...>) outs(%dst : !pto.tile_buf<...>)

C++ Intrinsic

Declared in include/pto/common/pto_instr.hpp and include/pto/common/constants.hpp:

template <typename TileDataD, typename TileDataS, typename... WaitEvents>
PTO_INST RecordEvent TCVT(TileDataD &dst, TileDataS &src, RoundMode mode, SaturationMode satMode, WaitEvents &... events);

template <typename TileDataD, typename TileDataS, typename... WaitEvents>
PTO_INST RecordEvent TCVT(TileDataD &dst, TileDataS &src, RoundMode mode, WaitEvents &... events);

Constraints

  • dst and src must be compatible in shape/valid region as required by the implementation.
  • The conversion (src element type) -> (dst element type) must be supported by the target for the given RoundMode.
  • Implementation notes (A2A3/A5):
    • TCVT_IMPL does not enforce additional static_assert/PTO_ASSERT checks on the type pair; unsupported conversions are target-defined.

Examples

Auto

#include <pto/pto-inst.hpp>

using namespace pto;

void example_auto() {
  using SrcT = Tile<TileType::Vec, float, 16, 16>;
  using DstT = Tile<TileType::Vec, half, 16, 16>;
  SrcT src;
  DstT dst;
  TCVT(dst, src, RoundMode::CAST_RINT);
}

Manual

#include <pto/pto-inst.hpp>

using namespace pto;

void example_manual() {
  using SrcT = Tile<TileType::Vec, float, 16, 16>;
  using DstT = Tile<TileType::Vec, half, 16, 16>;
  SrcT src;
  DstT dst;
  TASSIGN(src, 0x1000);
  TASSIGN(dst, 0x2000);
  TCVT(dst, src, RoundMode::CAST_RINT);
}

ASM Form Examples

Auto Mode

# Auto mode: compiler/runtime-managed placement and scheduling.
%dst = pto.tcvt %src{rmode = #pto<round_mode xx>}: !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

Manual Mode

# Manual mode: bind resources explicitly before issuing the instruction.
# Optional for tile operands:
# pto.tassign %arg0, @tile(0x1000)
# pto.tassign %arg1, @tile(0x2000)
%dst = pto.tcvt %src{rmode = #pto<round_mode xx>}: !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

PTO Assembly Form

%dst = tcvt %src {rmode = #pto.round_mode<CAST_RINT>} : !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>
# AS Level 2 (DPS)
pto.tcvt ins(%src{rmode = #pto<round_mode xx>}: !pto.tile_buf<...>) outs(%dst : !pto.tile_buf<...>)
