I notice that for Zen we create
0.00 │ vhaddp %ymm3,%ymm3,%ymm3
1.41 │ vperm2 $0x1,%ymm3,%ymm3,%ymm1
1.45 │ vaddpd %ymm1,%ymm2,%ymm2
from reduc_plus_scal_v4df which uses a cross-lane permute vperm2f128
even though the upper half of the result is unused in the end
(we only use the single-precision element zero). Much better would
be to use vextractf128 which is well-pipelined and has good throughput
(though using vhaddp in itself is quite bad for Zen I didn't try
benchmarking it against open-coding that yet, aka disabling the
expander). I can generate
vhaddpd %ymm3, %ymm3, %ymm3
vextractf128 $0x1, %ymm3, %xmm1
vaddpd %xmm1, %xmm3, %xmm3

easily though even using scalar operations for the add would be possible.
reduc_plus_scal_v8df uses ix86_expand_reduc which seems to use
full-width instructions throughout. I recently changed the vectorizer
to open-code tem%ymm = lowpart(%zmm) + highpart(%zmm);
tem%xmm = lowpart(tem%ymm) + highpart(tem%ymm); reduce(tem%xmm) which
is better for all cores so I wonder if ix86_expand_reduc should follow
that scheme. As said in a related PR the backend is in full control
of the final reduction sequence used when defining reduc_plus_scal_<mode>
which IMHO is good and we likely should have tuning specific patterns
in case there isn't a one-fits-all one.
Thanks,
Richard.
