  • 1.0. INTRODUCTION

    The Intel Architecture (IA) media extensions include single-instruction, multi-data (SIMD) instructions. This application note presents examples of code that exploit these instructions. Specifically, the levinsonmmx function presented here illustrates how to use the new MMX technology multiply-and-add instruction (PMADDWD) to perform matrix multiplication more efficiently. The performance improvement relative to traditional IA code is due to the ability to efficiently perform multiple multiply-and add operations in fewer cycles. To perform a signed Q15 multiply-and-add would use two IA instructions, IMUL and ADD, and would take as many as 13 cycles. Using the MMX technology PMADDWD instruction, you can perform four word multiplies and two doubleword adds in three cycles. Performance gain can also be attributed to the fact that the MMX instructions operate on packed 64-bit values instead of 32-bit values.

    2.0. THE LEVINSON-DURBIN ALGORITHM

    The amount of data which represents a human voice or sound is usually too large to store on a typical PC. Therefore, encoding the sound and storing only a partial set of the data would be more practical. Voice encoding is one of the applications in which the Levinson-Durbin algorithm is used. This algorithm generates both a set of prediction coefficients and reflection coefficients in a recursive manner as follows:

    Example 1. Levinson-Durbin Algorithm

    am = Km = -  r(m) + rbm-1am-1 
                	    ------------------
                        r(0) + rbm-1abm-1
    
    am(k)  = am-1(k) + Kmam-1(m-k)  k = 1, 2, ..., m - 1
    			     m = 1, 2, ..., p
    
    where a is the prediction coefficient array, K is the reflection coefficient array, 
    and r is the input vector.
    
    

    Note: The superscript b denotes the vector with elements taken in reverse order.

    The integer algorithm consists of three sections:

    1. The section which performs the matrix multiplication of Rn = (r[ ] * a[ ]) and Rd = (rb[ ] * a[ ]) to generate the numerator and denominator values for the division operation (rb[ ] is the reverse matrix of r[ ]).
    2. The section which performs the division to calculate the prediction and reflection coefficients for the mth iteration of the loop.
    3. The section which recalculates the prediction coefficients for the (m+1)st iteration of the main loop.

    2.1. Input and Output Data Representation

    The input and output of this version of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm is represented in fixed-point notation. The input matrix r[ ] and the resultant reflection coefficients k[ ] are represented as Q15 fractions stored in an array of short integers of size m. The prediction coefficients a[ ] are represented as Q13 fractions also stored in an array of short integers of size m. If two (2) signed Q15 fractions are multiplied together, the result will be a Q30 signed fraction. If a Q15 signed fraction is multiplied by a Q13 signed fraction, the result is a Q28 signed fraction. To determine the number of bits assigned to the fractional part of the result of a multiplication, add the number of bits assigned to the fractional parts of each multiplicand. To determine the number of bits assigned to the fractional part of the result of a division, subtract the number of bits assigned to the denominator from the number of bits assigned to the numerator. Refer to Figure 1 for further clarification.

    Figure 1. Fixed Point Notation

    2.2. Error Correction Techniques

    There are various areas in this algorithm where errors can occur. These errors are due to noise in the input data and performing integer instead of floating-point arithmetic. This version of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm performs two error correction techniques to minimize the overall amount of error found in the output results. The first technique minimizes the error introduced by using integer arithmetic. This is accomplished by rounding results to the nearest digit of precision prior to converting from one precision to another (i.e. Q28 to Q13). Refer to Example 2 for a graphical representation of fixed point conversion techniques.

    Example 2. Fixed Point Conversion
    
    Converting from a Q28 to a Q13 signed fraction:
    
    0x0A234238	Q28 signed fraction
    + 0x00004000	rounding factor
    0x0A238238	rounded result 
    >> 15
    0x00001447	conversion result
    
    

    The second technique brings a set of input data back into a usable range for the Levinson-Durbin algorithm. Input data can be determined to be not stable if any of the reflection coefficients produced are greater than one. To stabilize the input data, a scaling factor was used to scale both the prediction and reflection coefficients. This number may vary across applications and may need to be modified. For the system which was used to verify the MMX code optimized Levinson-Durbin algorithm, the appropriate scaling factor was was 0x7ff8.

    3.0. IMPLEMENTING LEVINSON-DURBIN USING MMX™ INSTRUCTIONS

    There were numerous areas within the Levinson-Durbin algorithm which could be easily adapted and optimized for use with the MMX instruction set. There was also one area which could not. The remainder of this section discusses each part of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm and the optimizations and MMX technology tricks used during programming.

    3.1. The Inner Loop: Calculating Rn and Rd

    The formulas used to calculate Rn and Rd are as follows:

    Example 3. Rn and Rd Formulas

    			Rn = r(m-i)*a(i)			for i=0 to m-1
    			Rd = r(i)*a(i)			for i=0 to m-1
    
    where r() is the input matrix and a() is the prediction coefficient matrix.
    

    These formulas are simple vector multiplications, but when using strictly IA integer instructions may take many cycles to calculate. The MMX instruction set supplies a multiply-add instruction (PMADDWD) which performs four word multiplies and two double-word adds in three cycles. This instruction can be pipelined with any MMX instruction, including another PMADDWD instruction. The result of a PMADDWD instruction can only be used by other instructions issued three clocks later. If it is used prior to the three clock latency, a stall will occur until the result is ready.

    The inner loop which calculates Rn and Rd uses the PMADDWD instruction to perform four word multiplies and two doubleword adds for Rn and Rd with each iteration. The result of each multiply and add instruction is two doubleword Q28 signed fixed point fractions stored in MM0 (Rd) and MM2 (Rn). Each of these values must be added to an accumulator, which keeps a running summation of the current result (MM6 is used for Rd and MM7 is used for Rn).

    In order to use the PMADDWD instruction within the inner loop to perform four word multiplies and two doubleword adds, two assumptions were made. The first is that the prediction coefficient array is initialized to zero. This prevents incorrect results for calculations of Rn and Rd which include three or fewer input values. The second is that the size (in bytes) of both the input vector and the prediction coefficient vector must be divisible by eight. This is to prevent reading past the end of either vector since four input values are read for each iteration of the loop.

    3.2. Inner Loop Analysis

    Example 4 contains the code for the inner loop of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm.

    Example 4. Inner Loop Code Segment For Calculating Four Elements per Iteration
    
    calcRnRd:
    1. 	movq		mm2,	[edx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 rT() matrix entries
    2. 	pmaddwd		mm0,	mm1		; calculate (r(i) * a(i)) + (r(i+1) *
    						; a(i+1)) and (r(i+2) * a(i+2)) + 
    						; (r(i+3) * a(i+3))
    	add		eax,
    3. 	; increment the aMatrix address
    
    4. 	pmaddwd		mm2,	mm1		; calculate (rT(i) * a(i)) + (rT(i+1) *
    
    						; a(i+1)) and (rT(i+2) * a(i+2)) +
    						; (rT(i+3) * a(i+3))
    
    5.						; Two penalties occur during this clock
    6.						; cycle.  The first is a pmaddwd stall
    						; since the instruction on line 8 uses
    						; the result of the pmaddwd instruction
    						; issued on line 2.  The second penalty
    						; occurs because eax is incremented on
    						; line 3 and used the next cycle.
    
    7.	movq		mm1,	[ecx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 a() matrix entries
    8.	paddd		mm6,	mm0		; accumulate Rd
    
    9.	movq		mm0,	[esi][eax*2]	; get the next 4 r() matrix entries
    10.	paddd		mm7,	mm2		; accumulate Rn
    
    11.	cmp		eax,	ebx		; compare i and m
    12.	jl		calcRnRd		; if (i < m) then keep incrementally 
    						; calculating Rn and Rd
    

    Assuming all data is present in the data cache, the inner loop which calculates Rn and Rd varies in the number of cycles it takes to execute. If the data being read from the reverse input matrix is aligned, no penalty is incurred and the loop executes in six cycles per pass. If the data being read is unaligned, the read incurs a three cycle penalty, increasing the overall loop time from six to nine cycles per pass. Data alignment is extremely critical to the number of cycles in which the loop executes. If the input matrix and the prediction coefficient matrix are not aligned on quad word boundaries, accesses to these matrices will also incur an unaligned penalty of three clock cycles.

    Within the inner loop is a one clock cycle penalty which is caused by two violations of the pairing rules. The first penalty occurs on line 7 where a quad word move is issued. This instruction uses the EAX register to generate an index into the a matrix. Exactly one cycle prior to issuing the MOVQ instruction, EAX was used as a destination register on line 3. Pairing rules state that any integer register can not be used to address memory for two clocks after it has been modified. This is referred to as an address generation interlock (AGI). Therefore a penalty of one clock cycle is incurred. The second penalty occurs on line 8 where a packed add is issued. This instruction uses MM0 as an operand. MM0 contains the result of the PMADDWD instruction issued on line 2. Pairing rules state that the result of a multiply instruction can only be used by other instructions issued three clocks later. Therefore, a penalty of one clock cycle is incurred. Since both penalties occur in the same cycle, only a one clock cycle stall occurs instead of two.

    This loop was optimized to support efficient calculations of both the prediction and reflection coefficients to an order of 10. For orders of 16 or greater, this loop can be optimized even further by unrolling the loop one more time. This would be done by performing eight word multiplies and four doubleword adds for both Rn and Rd each time through the loop. It would eliminate half of the loop overhead and may also have the potential of hiding the multiply-add and AGI pipe stall at instruction 8. See Example 5 for an example.

    Example 5. Inner Loop Code Segment For Calculating Eight Elements per Iteration
    calcRnRd:
    1.	movq		mm2,	[edx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 rT() matrix entries
    2.	pmaddwd	mm0,	 mm1			; calculate (r(i) * a(i)) + (r(i+1) * 
    						; a(i+1)) and (r(i+2) * a(i+2)) + 
    						; (r(i+3) * a(i+3))
    
    3.	movq		mm3,	8[edx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 rT() matrix entries
    4.	pmaddwd	mm2, 	mm1			; calculate (rT(i) * a(i)) + (rT(i+1) * 	
    						; a(i+1)) and (rT(i+2) * a(i+2)) + 
    						; (rT(i+3) * a(i+3))
    
    7.	movq		mm1,	8[ecx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 a() matrix entries
    8.	paddd		mm6,	 mm0		; accumulate Rd
    
    9.	movq		mm4,	8[esi][eax*2]	; get the next 4 r() matrix entries
    10.	pmaddwd	mm3, 	mm1			; calculate (r(i+4) * a(i+4)) + (r(i+5)*
    						; a(i+5)) + (r(i+6) * a(i+6)) + (r(i+7)*
    						; a(i+7))
    
    11.	movq		mm0,	[esi][eax*2]	; get the next 4 r() matrix elements 
    12.	pmaddwd	mm4,	mm1			; calculate (rT(i+4)*a(i+4)) + (rT(i+5)
    						; * a(i+5)) + (rT(i+6) * a(i+6)) +
    						; (rT(i+7) + a(i+7))
    
    13.	movq		mm1,	[ecx][eax*2]	; get the next 4 a() matrix elements
    14.	paddd		mm7,	 mm2		; accumulate Rn
    
    15.	add		eax,	8		; add 8 elements to the eax index
    16.	paddd		mm6,	mm3		; accumulate Rd
    
    17.	paddd		mm7, 	mm4		; accumulate Rn
     
    18.	cmp		eax,	ebx		; compare i and m
    19.	jl		calcRnRd		; if (i < m) then keep incrementally 
    						; calculating Rn and Rd
    

    3.3. Obtaining the Reverse of the Input Vector

    The formula to compute Rn uses the values of the input vector in the reverse order. Three options were considered when deciding how to obtain this vector:

    1. Create the reverse vector prior to the main loop.
    2. In the inner loop to calculate Rn and Rd, read the input vector and rearrange the data for the calculation.
    3. Add an input vector element to the front of a local array with each iteration of the main loop. Use this new array to calculate Rn. This option is available since for each iteration of the main loop, only one new input vector element is used to calculate Rn.

    Option 3 was chosen since this read/store operation could be paired with other non-paired instructions prior to executing the inner loop. Therefore, the reverse of the input matrix was obtained "free." Both options 1 and 2 were investigated and discarded because of the extra cycles added to the overall performance of the code. Option 1 added extra instructions and loop overhead to the function. Option 2 added extra cycles within the inner loop to rearrange data appropriately for the calculation of Rn.

    3.4. Getting Ready for the Integer Divide

    After the execution of the inner loop, Rn and Rd have their results accumulated in MM7 and MM6, respectively. These registers each have two doubleword Q28 signed fractions which need to be separated and added together to obtain the final result. A copy of each accumulator is made and then the packed-shift-right-logical-quad (PSRLQ) instruction is used to shift the high doubleword into the low doubleword position. This is added to the accumulator to obtain the final Rn and Rd result in the low doubleword position. Refer to Example 6 for a code example. In this example, there are also statements which get the data ready for the division in the next code segment. This includes negating Rn and clearing registers MM3 and MM0.

    Example 6. Finishing the Rn and Rd Calculation
    calcnew_A:
    1.	movq	mm0, mm6		; make a copy of the partial Rd
    2.	movq	mm1, mm7		; make a copy of the partial Rn
    
    3.	movd	mm4, round_factor	; load the rounding factor for later
    4.	psrlq	mm1, 32			; put the high doubleword of Rn into
    						; the low doubleword position
    5.	paddd	mm7, mm1		; do the final Rn calculation
    6.	pxor	mm3, mm3		; zero out mm3 to negate Rn for the 
    						; divide
    
    7.	psubd	mm3, mm7		; negate Rn prior to the divide
    8.	psrlq	mm0, 32			; put the high doubleword of Rd into
    						; the low doubleword position
    
    9.	paddd	mm6, mm0		; do the final Rd calculation
    10.	pxor	mm1, mm1		; zero out mm1 for unpacking the 
    						; rounding factor later 
    

    3.5. Calculating the mth Order Reflection and Prediction Coefficients

    The mth order reflection and prediction coefficients are calculated by dividing Rn by Rd. This integer division can not be avoided since the denominator changes for each iteration of the main loop. It takes 43 clock cycles every time that it is executed. If the denominator value remained constant with each iteration of the outer loop, one divide could have been executed prior to entering the main loop to determine 1/Rd. This value could then be used in an integer multiplication using the IMUL instruction and would take 10 cycles to execute. The IMUL instruction would have to be used in this instance since the MMX instruction set does not supply a doubleword multiply instruction. A floating point divide could also be executed in place of the fixed point integer divide, but would incur a 100 clock cycle penalty of switching from floating point code to MMX code. Therefore it was not used.

    3.6. Recalculating the Prediction Coefficients

    This segment of code recalculates the prediction coefficients from 0 through m-1 based on the newly calculated mth coefficient. The pseudocode is as follows:

    Example 7. Algorithm For Recalculating the Prediction Coefficients
    				for	( i = 1; i < m; i++)
    					b[i] = a[i] + (K[m] * a[m-i]);
    
    				for	( i = 1; i < m; i++)
    					a[i] = b[i];
    

    To avoid needing the temporary array b, the MMX code calculates both the new a[i] and a[m-i] with each iteration of the loop. The MMX instruction set does not implicitly provide a double-word multiply. Therefore, the PMADDWD instruction was used. Refer to Figure 2 for a graphical representation of the data setup. After the data has been setup, the instruction PMADDWD MM0, MM2 is issued to calculate K[m]*a[i] and K[m]*a[m-i]. The result of this multiply-add is a Q28 signed fraction. It is then added to MM3, which contains a[i] in the low doubleword and a[m-i] in the high doubleword, each represented as Q28 signed fractions. This addition obtains the new a[i] and a[m-i] values.

    Figure 2. Data Setup For Recalculating the Prediction Coefficients

    An approximate overall performance of this version of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm can be calculated based on the performance of three sections of the code: the calculation of Rn and Rd, the calculation of K[m], and the re-calculation of the prediction coefficients. The following discussion about performance assumes all data is present in the data cache and that all data is properly aligned.

    There are two cycle count numbers which are important to take into consideration when approximating the number of cycles it takes to calculate Rn and Rd. When accesses to the reverse of the input vector are aligned, it takes six clock cycles per iteration to multiply and accumulate four values for both Rn and Rd. When accesses to the reverse of the input vector are unaligned, it takes nine clock cycles per iteration. Since half of all accesses to the reverse of the input vector are aligned and half are unaligned, on average it takes 7.5 cycles to calculate four values for both Rn and Rd or .9375 clock cycles for one value.

    To calculate a[m] and K[m] and to set up register values prior to re-calculating the prediction coefficients takes approximately 64 clock cycles. The majority of these cycles can be directly attributed to the integer divide which executes in 43 clock cycles. As mentioned previously, this integer divide can not be avoided.

    For the re-calculation of the prediction coefficients, there are two cycle count numbers which must be taken into consideration. When accesses to the prediction coefficient array are aligned, it takes 14 clock cycles to recalculate two elements. When accesses to the prediction coefficient array are unaligned, it takes 20 clock cycles to recalculate two elements. Since half of all accesses to the prediction coefficient array are aligned and half are unaligned, on average it takes 17 cycles to recalculate two elements or 8.5 clock cycles to recalculate one.

    Applying these cycle count numbers to an application which calculates pSize reflection coefficients using an input vector of size pSize+1, an approximate overall performance can be obtained as follows:

    For the C language version of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm, refer to Appendix A. For the complete MMX code optimized version of the Levinson-Durbin algorithm, refer to Appendix B.

    The MMX code optimized version is reentrant but the user may wish to dispose of the local variables and pass them in as arguments to the procedure if stack usage is an issue.
