TCI

Tile Operation Diagram

Introduction

Generate a contiguous integer sequence into a destination tile.

Math Interpretation

For a linearized index k over the valid elements:

• Ascending:

  $${\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{t}}_k=S+k$$

• Descending:

  $${\mathrm{d}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{t}}_k=S-k$$

The linearization order depends on the tile layout (implementation-defined).

Assembly Syntax

Synchronous form:

%dst = tci %S {descending = false} : !pto.tile<...>

AS Level 1 (SSA)

%dst = pto.tci %scalar {descending = false} : dtype -> !pto.tile<...>

AS Level 2 (DPS)

pto.tci ins(%scalar {descending = false} : dtype) outs(%dst : !pto.tile_buf<...>)

C++ Intrinsic

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

template <typename TileData, typename T, int descending, typename... WaitEvents>
PTO_INST RecordEvent TCI(TileData &dst, T start, WaitEvents &... events);

Constraints

• Implementation checks (A2A3/A5):
  • TileData::DType must be exactly the same type as the scalar template parameter T.
  • dst/scalar element types must be identical, and must be one of: int32_t, uint32_t, int16_t, uint16_t.
  • TileData::Cols != 1 (this is the condition enforced by the implementation).
• Valid region:
  • The implementation uses dst.GetValidCol() as the sequence length and does not consult dst.GetValidRow().

Examples

Auto

#include <pto/pto-inst.hpp>

using namespace pto;

void example_auto() {
  using TileT = Tile<TileType::Vec, int32_t, 1, 16>;
  TileT dst;
  TCI<TileT, int32_t, /*descending=*/0>(dst, /*S=*/0);
}

Manual

#include <pto/pto-inst.hpp>

using namespace pto;

void example_manual() {
  using TileT = Tile<TileType::Vec, int32_t, 1, 16>;
  TileT dst;
  TASSIGN(dst, 0x1000);
  TCI<TileT, int32_t, /*descending=*/1>(dst, /*S=*/100);
}

ASM Form Examples

Auto Mode

# Auto mode: compiler/runtime-managed placement and scheduling.
%dst = pto.tci %scalar {descending = false} : dtype -> !pto.tile<...>

Manual Mode

# Manual mode: resources must be bound explicitly before issuing the instruction.
# Optional for tile operands:
# pto.tassign %arg0, @tile(0x1000)
# pto.tassign %arg1, @tile(0x2000)
%dst = pto.tci %scalar {descending = false} : dtype -> !pto.tile<...>

PTO Assembly Form

%dst = tci %S {descending = false} : !pto.tile<...>
# AS Level 2 (DPS)
pto.tci ins(%scalar {descending = false} : dtype) outs(%dst : !pto.tile_buf<...>)
