A C/C++ header file that converts Intel SSE intrinsics to Arm/Aarch64 NEON intrinsics.



## Introduction



`sse2neon` is a translator of Intel SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) intrinsics

to [Arm NEON](https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/simd-isas/neon),

shortening the time needed to get an Arm working program that then can be used to

extract profiles and to identify hot paths in the code.

The header file `sse2neon.h` contains several of the functions provided by Intel

intrinsic headers such as ``, only implemented with NEON-based counterparts

to produce the exact semantics of the intrinsics.



## Mapping and Coverage



Header file | Extension |

---|---|

`` | MMX |

`` | SSE |

`` | SSE2 |

`` | SSE3 |

`` | SSSE3 |

`` | SSE4.1 |

`` | SSE4.2 |

`` | AES  |



`sse2neon` aims to support SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2 and AES extension.



In order to deliver NEON-equivalent intrinsics for all SSE intrinsics used widely,

please be aware that some SSE intrinsics exist a direct mapping with a concrete

NEON-equivalent intrinsic. Others, unfortunately, lack a 1:1 mapping, meaning that

their equivalents are built utilizing a number of NEON intrinsics.



For example, SSE intrinsic `_mm_loadu_si128` has a direct NEON mapping (`vld1q_s32`),

but SSE intrinsic `_mm_maddubs_epi16` has to be implemented with 13+ NEON instructions.



### Floating-point compatibility



Some conversions require several NEON intrinsics, which may produce inconsistent results

compared to their SSE counterparts due to differences in the arithmetic rules of IEEE-754.



Taking a possible conversion of `_mm_rsqrt_ps` as example:



```c

__m128 _mm_rsqrt_ps(__m128 in)

{

    float32x4_t out = vrsqrteq_f32(vreinterpretq_f32_m128(in));



    out = vmulq_f32(

        out, vrsqrtsq_f32(vmulq_f32(vreinterpretq_f32_m128(in), out), out));



    return vreinterpretq_m128_f32(out);

}

```



The `_mm_rsqrt_ps` conversion will produce NaN if a source value is `0.0` (first INF for the

reciprocal square root of `0.0`, then INF * `0.0` using `vmulq_f32`). In contrast,

the SSE counterpart produces INF if a source value is `0.0`.

As a result, additional treatments should be applied to ensure consistency between the conversion and its SSE counterpart.



## Requirement



Developers are advised to utilize sse2neon.h with GCC version 10 or higher, or Clang version 11 or higher. While sse2neon.h might be compatible with earlier versions, certain vector operation errors have been identified in those versions. For further details, refer to the discussion in issue [#622](https://github.com/DLTcollab/sse2neon/issues/622).



## Usage



- Put the file `sse2neon.h` in to your source code directory.



- Locate the following SSE header files included in the code:

```C

#include 

#include 

```

  {p,t,s,n,w}mmintrin.h could be replaceable as well.



- Replace them with:

```C

#include "sse2neon.h"

```



- Explicitly specify platform-specific options to gcc/clang compilers.

  * On ARMv8-A 64-bit targets, you should specify the following compiler option: (Remove `crypto` and/or `crc` if your architecture does not support cryptographic and/or CRC32 extensions)

  ```shell

  -march=armv8-a+fp+simd+crypto+crc

  ```

  * On ARMv8-A 32-bit targets, you should specify the following compiler option:

  ```shell

  -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8

  ```

  * On ARMv7-A targets, you need to append the following compiler option:

  ```shell

  -mfpu=neon

  ```



## Compile-time Configurations



Though floating-point operations in NEON use the IEEE single-precision format, NEON does not fully comply to the IEEE standard when inputs or results are denormal or NaN values for minimizing power consumption as well as maximizing performance.

Considering the balance between correctness and performance, `sse2neon` recognizes the following compile-time configurations:

* `SSE2NEON_PRECISE_MINMAX`: Enable precise implementation of `_mm_min_{ps,pd}` and `_mm_max_{ps,pd}`. If you need consistent results such as handling with NaN values, enable it.

* `SSE2NEON_PRECISE_DIV`: Enable precise implementation of `_mm_rcp_ps` and `_mm_div_ps` by additional Netwon-Raphson iteration for accuracy.

* `SSE2NEON_PRECISE_SQRT`: Enable precise implementation of `_mm_sqrt_ps` and `_mm_rsqrt_ps` by additional Netwon-Raphson iteration for accuracy.

* `SSE2NEON_PRECISE_DP`: Enable precise implementation of `_mm_dp_pd`. When the conditional bit is not set, the corresponding multiplication would not be executed.



The above are turned off by default, and you should define the corresponding macro(s) as `1` before including `sse2neon.h` if you need the precise implementations.



## Run Built-in Test Suite



`sse2neon` provides a unified interface for developing test cases. These test

cases are located in `tests` directory, and the input data is specified at

runtime. Use the following commands to perform test cases:

```shell

$ make check

```



For running check with enabling features, you can use assign the features with `FEATURE` command.

If `none` is assigned, then the command will be the same as simply calling `make check`.

The following command enable `crypto` and `crc` features in the tests.

```

$ make FEATURE=crypto+crc check

```



For running check on certain CPU, setting the mode of FPU, etc.,

you can also assign the desired options with `ARCH_CFLAGS` command.

If `none` is assigned, the command acts as same as calling `make check`.

For instance, to run tests on Cortex-A53 with enabling ARM VFPv4 extension and NEON:

```

$ make ARCH_CFLAGS="-mcpu=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4" check

```



### Running tests on hosts other than ARM platform



For running tests on hosts other than ARM platform,

you can specify GNU toolchain for cross compilation with `CROSS_COMPILE` command.

[QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/) should be installed in advance.



For ARMv8-A running in 64-bit mode type:

```shell

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- check # ARMv8-A

```



For ARMv7-A type:

```shell

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- check # ARMv7-A

```



For ARMv8-A running in 32-bit mode (A32 instruction set) type:

```shell

$ make \

  CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- \

  ARCH_CFLAGS="-mcpu=cortex-a32 -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8" \

  check 

```
