for HSAIL an operand's indices into the register files may be calculated
trivially, because the operands are always read from a register file, or are
an immediate.
for machine ISA, however, an op selector may specify special registers, or
may specify special SGPRs with an alias op selector value. the location of
some of the special registers values are dependent on the size of the RF
in some cases. here we add a way for the underlying getRegisterIndex()
method to know about the size of the RFs, so that it may find the relative
positions of the special register values.
this patch removes the GPUStaticInst enums that were defined in GPU.py.
instead, a simple set of attribute flags that can be set in the base
instruction class are used. this will help unify the attributes of HSAIL
and machine ISA instructions within the model itself.
because the static instrution now carries the attributes, a GPUDynInst
must carry a pointer to a valid GPUStaticInst so a new static kernel launch
instruction is added, which carries the attributes needed to perform a
the kernel launch.
Eliminate the VSZ constant that defined the Wavefront size (in numbers of work
items); replaced it with a parameter in the GPU.py configuration script.
Changed all data structures dependent on the Wavefront size to be dynamically
sized. Legal values of Wavefront size are 16, 32, 64 for now and checked at
initialization time.
