RISC-V: towards a reference LLVM backend Alex Bradbury asb@lowrisc.org @asbradbury @lowRISC 3rd November 2016
What is RISC-V? ● A free to implement ISA originally developed at UC Berkeley ● Has Linux, QEMU, FreeBSD, seL4, Coreboot, ... ports 32-bit, 64-bit, 128-bit(!) ● Modular specification (scales up and down) ● ● See http://riscv.org 2
The opportunity ● Hardware/software co-design enabling rapid innovation from the open hardware community. Make LLVM more accessible to groups performing computer architecture ● research ● Improve documentation for the wider LLVM community 3
The approach ● Incremental, easily reviewable patches ● Start with the MC layer Maintain the patchset separately as a living artefact, even after merging ● Act as a ‘reference’ backend ● ● See github.com/lowRISC/riscv-llvm 4
Status ● Initial set of MC patches mostly reviewed and starting to be committed ● Follow-on patches for basic codegen will be posted in the next couple of weeks Docs/tutorial: currently exists in the form of copious notes. Needs to be ● cleaned up and shared 5
Future ● Complete codegen ● Benchmarking, optimisations LLDB, LLD, ... ● Support for RVC (compressed 16-bit instruction encoding) ● ● Prototype support for proposed vector extensions ● Tagged memory 6
Get involved ● Chat to me about how you can help (asb@lowrisc.org, or in person) ● Review patches Look at “RFC: Implement variable-sized register classes” ● 7
