Merge of Multiply Accumulate operations
Compiler optimizations » Code optimizations

We have available `ADDMAC` and `ADDMSC` intrinsics (please refer to Multiply Accumulate). For this reason, we include pattern-matching rules in the compiler to merge the operations ADD + MAC/MSC when these patterns are found in the code, i.e.:

- `ADD + MAC -> ADDMAC`
- `SUB + MAC -> ADDMAC`
- `ADD + MSC -> ADDMSC`
- `SUB + MSC -> ADDMSC`

For all the available datatypes and configuration parameters (i.e., `_conf` variants for the addition and multiplication), we have defined the following rules (these are simplified and do not show the actual datatypes or the configuration parameters):

// Pattern-matching rule for add + mac -> addmac
rule(a, b, acc0, acc1) {
tmp = mac(a,b,acc0);
return add(acc1, tmp);
} -> {
return addmac(a,b,acc0,acc1);
}
// Pattern-matching rule for sub + mac -> addmac
rule(a, b, acc0, acc1) {
tmp = mac(a,b,acc0);
return add(acc1, tmp);
} -> {
return addmac_conf(a,b,acc0,acc1,1);
}
// Pattern-matching rule for add + msc -> addmsc
rule(a, b, acc0, acc1) {
tmp = msc(a,b,acc0);
return add(acc1, tmp);
} -> {
return addmsc(a,b,acc0,acc1);
}
// Pattern-matching rule for sub + msc -> addmsc
rule(a, b, acc0, acc1) {
tmp = msc(a,b,acc0);
return add(acc1, tmp);
} -> {
return addmsc_conf(a,b,acc0,acc1,1);
}

All of these rules have been defined for all native datatypes, since emulated datatypes are based on these types.

Note
  For these optimizations to take place when using the _conf variants for the mac and add instrinsics, the input values must be known at compile time.
