whitequark 7378194169 cxxrtl: split processes into sync and case nodes.
Similar to the treatment of black boxes, splitting processes into two
scheduling nodes adds sufficient freedom so that netlists with
well-behaved processes (e.g. those emitted by nMigen) can immediately
converge.

Because processes are not emitted into edge-triggered regions, this
approach has comparable performance to -O5 (without -noproc), which
is substantially slower than -O6.

whitequark b2221c1077 cxxrtl: completely rewrite netlist layout code.
The exact shape of C++ code emitted by CXXRTL has a critical effect
on performance, both compile-time and runtime. CXXRTL's performance
greatly improved when it started localizing and inlining wires, not
only because this assists the optimizer and register allocator, but
also because inlining code into edge-triggered regions cuts the time
spent in eval() by at least a factor of two.

However, the logic of netlist layout has always been ad-hoc, fragile,
and very hard to understand and modify. After commit ece25a45, which
introduced outlining, the same logic started being applied to two
distinct netlists at once instead of one, which barely worked.

This commit does four major changes:
  * There is now a single unambiguous source of truth (per subgraph)
    for the layout of any emitted wire.
  * Netlist layout is now done entirely during analysis using well
    known graph algorithms; no graph operations happen when emitting.
  * Netlist layout now happens completely separately for eval() and
    debug_eval() subgraphs.
  * Unreachable (within subgraph scope) netlist nodes are now neither
    emitted nor considered for wire inlining decisions.
The netlist layout code should also now closely match the described
semantics.

As a part of this large cleanup, it includes many miscellaneous
improvements:
  * The "bare minimum" debug level introduced in commit dd6a761d was
    split into two levels; -g1 now emits debug information *only* for
    inputs and state wires, and -g2 now emits debug information for
    all public members. The old behavior matches -g2. This is done
    to avoid bloat on low optimization levels.
  * Debug aliases and inlined connections are now handled separately,
    and complex RHS never interferes with inlined connections.
  * Aliases to outlined wires now carry a pointer to the outline.
  * Cell sync outputs can now be emitted in debug_eval().
  * Black box debug information now includes comb/sync driver flags.
  * The comment emitted for inlined cells is now accurate.
  * Debug information statistics now has less noise.
  * Netlist layout code is now much better documented.

Due to more precise inlining decisions, unmodified (i.e. with no
Yosys script being used) netlists now have much more logic inlined
into edge-triggered regions. On Minerva SoC SRAM, this improves
runtime by 20-25% across compilers and optimization levels.

Due to more precise reachability analysis, much less C++ code is now
emitted, especially at the maximum debug level. On Minerva SoC SRAM,
this improves clang compile time by 30-50% depending on options.
gcc is not affected.

whitequark 3d3ea5099d cxxrtl: use `static inline` instead of `inline` in the C API.
In C, non-static inline functions require an implementation elsewhere
(even though the body is right there in the header). It is basically
never desirable to use those as opposed to static inline ones.

whitequark f75bc6c7aa cxxrtl: disable optimization of debug_items().
Implementing outlining has greatly increased the amount of debug
information in a typical build, and consequently exposed performance
issues in C++ compilers, which are similar for both GCC and Clang;
the compile time of Minerva SoC SRAM increased almost twofold.

Although one would expect the slowdown to be caused by the increased
use of templates in `debug_eval()`, it is actually almost entirely
attributable to optimizations and codegen for `debug_items()`.

Fortunately, it is neither possible nor desirable to optimize
`debug_items()`: in most cases it is called exactly once, and its
body is a linear sequence of calls with unique arguments.

This commit turns off optimizations for `debug_items()` on GCC and
Clang, improving -Os compile time of Minerva SoC SRAM by ~40% (!)

whitequark 4d40595d64 cxxrtl: make alias analysis outlining-aware.
Before this commit, if a sequence of wires assigned in a chain would
terminate on a cell, none of the wires would get marked as aliases,
and typically all of the public wires would get outlined. The reason
for this behavior is that alias analysis predates outlining and in
fact runs before it.

After this commit, alias analysis runs after outlining and considers
outlined wires valid aliasees. More importantly, if the chained wires
contain any valid aliasees, then all of the wires are aliased to
the one that is topologically deepest.

Aliased wires incur virtually no overhead for the VCD writer, unlike
outlined wires that would otherwise take their place. On Minerva SoC
SRAM, size of the full VCD dump is reduced by ~65%, and throughput
is increased by ~55%.

whitequark dd6a761db0 cxxrtl: add a "bare minimum" debug information level.

whitequark ece25a45d4 cxxrtl: implement debug information outlining.
Aggressive wire localization and inlining is necessary for CXXRTL to
achieve high performance. However, that comes with a cost: reduced
debug information coverage. Previously, as a workaround, the `-Og`
option could have been used to guarantee complete coverage, at a cost
of a significant performance penalty.

This commit introduces debug information outlining. The main eval()
function is compiled with the user-specified optimization settings.
In tandem, an auxiliary debug_eval() function, compiled from the same
netlist, can be used to reconstruct the values of localized/inlined
signals on demand. To the extent that it is possible, debug_eval()
reuses the results of computations performed by eval(), only filling
in the missing values.

Benchmarking a representative design (Minerva SoC SRAM) shows that:
  * Switching from `-O4`/`-Og` to `-O6` reduces runtime by ~40%.
  * Switching from `-g1` to `-g2`, both used with `-O6`, increases
    compile time by ~25%.
  * Although `-g2` increases the resident size of generated modules,
    this has no effect on runtime.

Because the impact of `-g2` is minimal and the benefits of having
unconditional 100% debug information coverage (and the performance
improvement as well) are major, this commit removes `-Og` and changes
the defaults to `-O6 -g2`.

We'll have our cake and eat it too!

whitequark 3b5a1314cd cxxrtl: rename "elision" to "inlining". NFC.
"Elision" in this context is an unusual and not very descriptive term
whereas "inlining" is common and straightforward. Also, introducing

whitequark e4aa8bc96b cxxrtl: don't overwrite buffered inputs.
Before this commit, a cell's input was always assigned like:

    p_cell.p_input = (value...);

If `p_input` is buffered (e.g. if the design is built at -O0), this
is not correct. (In practice, this breaks clocking.) Unfortunately,
the incorrect design was compiled without diagnostics because wire<>
was move-assignable and also implicitly constructible from value<>.

After this commit, cell inputs are no longer incorrectly assumed to
always be unbuffered, and wires are not assignable from values.

whitequark aa0a15a42c cxxrtl: use CXXRTL_ASSERT for RTL contract violations instead of assert.
RTL contract violations and C++ contract violations are different:
the former depend on the netlist and will never violate memory safety
whereas the latter may. When loading a CXXRTL simulation into another
process, RTL contract violations should generally not crash it, while
C++ contract violations should.

whitequark 5beab5bc17 cxxrtl: provide a way to perform unobtrusive power-on reset.
Although it is always possible to destroy and recreate the design to
simulate a power-on reset, this has two drawbacks:
  * Black boxes are also destroyed and recreated, which causes them
    to reacquire their resources, which might be costly and/or erase
    important state.
  * Pointers into the design are invalidated and have to be acquired
    again, which is costly and might be very inconvenient if they are
    captured elsewhere (especially through the C API).

whitequark 65083e9520 cxxrtl: run `hierarchy -auto-top` if no top module is present.
In most cases, a CXXRTL simulation would use a top module, either
because this module serves as an entry point to the CXXRTL C API,
or because the outputs of a top module are unbuffered, improving
performance. Taking this into account, the CXXRTL backend now runs
`hierarchy -auto-top` if there is no top module. For the few cases
where this behavior is unwanted, it now accepts a `-nohierarchy`
option.

Before this commit, the meaning of "sync def" included some flip-flop
cells but not others. There was no actual reason for this; it was
just poorly defined.

After this commit, a "sync def" means that a wire holds design state
because it is connected directly to a flip-flop output, and may never
be unbuffered. This is not affected by presence of async inputs.

Sahand Kashani 5157f5623e Add support for real-valued parameters + preserve type of parameters
This commit adds support for real-valued parameters in blackboxes. Additionally,
parameters now retain their types are no longer all encoded as strings.

There is a caveat with this implementation due to my limited knowledge of yosys,
more specifically to how yosys encodes bitwidths of parameter values. The example
below can motivate the implementation choice I took. Suppose a verilog component
is declared with the following parameters:

            parameter signed [26:0] test_signed;
            parameter        [26:0] test_unsigned;
            parameter signed [40:0] test_signed_large;

If you instantiate it as follows:

            defparam <inst_name> .test_signed = 49;
            defparam <inst_name> .test_unsigned = 40'd35;
            defparam <inst_name> .test_signed_large = 40'd12;

If you peek in the RTLIL::Const structure corresponding to these params, you
realize that parameter "test_signed" is being considered as a 32-bit value
since it's declared as "49" without a width specifier, even though the parameter
is defined to have a maximum width of 27 bits.

A similar issue occurs for parameter "test_unsigned" where it is supposed to take
a maximum bit width of 27 bits, but if the user supplies a 40-bit value as above,
then yosys considers the value to be 40 bits.

I suppose this is due to the type being defined by the RHS rather than the definition.
Regardless of this, I emit the same widths as what the user specifies on the RHS when
generating firrtl IR.

Sahand Kashani 2c6cc27af1 Add firrtl backend support for generic parameters in blackbox components
Previous blackbox components were just emitted with their interface ports,
but their generic parameters were never emitted and it was therefore
impossible to customize them.

This commit adds support for blackbox generic parameters, though support
is only provided for INTEGER and STRING parameters. Other types of
parameters such as DOUBLEs, ..., would result in undefined behavior here.

This allows the emission of custom extmodule instances such as the following:

extmodule fourteennm_lcell_comb_<instName>:

whitequark 128522f173 verilog_backend: in non-SV mode, add a trigger for `always @*`.
This commit only affects translation of RTLIL processes (for which
there is limited support).

Due to the event-driven nature of Verilog, processes like

    reg x;
    always @*
        x <= 1;

may never execute. This can be fixed in SystemVerilog code by using
`always_comb` instead of `always @*`, but in Verilog-2001 the options
are limited. This commit implements the following workaround:

    reg init = 0;
    reg x;
    always @* begin
        if (init) begin end
        x <= 1;

whitequark 962a2f3bff cxxrtl: add .get() and .set() accessors on value<> and wire<>.
For several reasons:
  * They're more convenient than accessing .data.
  * They accommodate variably-sized types like size_t transparently.
  * They statically ensure that no out of range conversions happen.

For now these are only provided for unsigned integers, but eventually
they should be provided for signed integers too. (Annoyingly this
affects conversions to/from `char` at the moment.)

whitequark 29bd81d662 cxxrtl: unbuffer output wires of toplevel module.
Without unbuffering output wires of, at least, toplevel modules, it
is not possible to have most designs that rely on IO via toplevel
ports (as opposed to using exclusively blackboxes) converge within
one delta cycle. That seriously impairs the performance of CXXRTL.

This commit avoids unbuffering outputs of all modules solely so that
in future, CXXRTL could gain fully separate compilation, and not for
any present technical reason.

With this change, it is easier to see which signals carry state (only

checkpoint (CXXRTL_WIRE debug items represent the canonical smallest
set of state required to fully reconstruct the simulation).

whitequark 5467fe563a cxxrtl: allow unbuffering without localizing.
Although logically two separate steps, these were treated as one for
historic reasons. Splitting the two makes it possible to have designs
that are only 2× slower than fastest possible (and are without extra
delta cycles) that allow probing all public wires.
2020-06-09 21:50:09 +00:00
whitequark 970ec34e70 cxxrtl: order -On levels as localize, elide instead of the reverse.
Historically, elision was implemented before localization, so levels
with elision are lower than corresponding levels with localization.
This is unfortunate for two reasons:
  1. Elision is a logical subset of localization, since it equals to
     not giving a name to a temporary.
  2. "Localize" currently actually means "unbuffer and localize",
     and it would be useful to split those steps (at least for
     public wires) for improved design visibility.

whitequark ba11060e59 cxxrtl: factor out -noproc/-noflatten from -O.
Although these options can be thought of as optimizations, they are

to complete design visibility, yet in both cases proc and flatten
are desirable.

2020-06-09 09:54:09 +00:00
whitequark ef4e159447 cxxrtl: ignore cell input signedness when it is irrelevant.
Before this commit, Verilog expressions like `x && 1` would result in
references to `logic_and_us` in generated CXXRTL code, which would
not compile. After this commit, since cells like that actually behave
the same regardless of signedness attributes, the signedness is
ignored, which also reduces the template instantiation pressure.

whitequark 467152d79f cxxrtl: don't check immutable values for changes in VCD writer.
This commit changes the VCD writer such that for all signals that
have `debug_item.type == VALUE && debug_item.next == nullptr`, it
would only sample the value once.

Commit f2d7a187 added more debug information by including constant
wires, and decreased the performance of VCD writer proportionally
because the constant wires were still repeatedly sampled; this commit
eliminates the performance hit.
2020-06-08 17:38:11 +00:00
whitequark f2d7a18756 cxxrtl: emit debug information for constant wires.
Constant wires can represent a significant chunk of the design in
generic designs or after optimization. Emitting them in VCD files
significantly improves usability because gtkwave removes all traces
that are not present in the VCD file after reload, and iterative
development suffers if switching a varying signal to a constant
disrupts the workflow.

whitequark d5c07e5b6f cxxrtl: track aliases in VCD writer.
This commit changes the VCD writer such that for all signals that

and sample the value once.

Commit 9b39c6f7 added redundancy to debug information by including
alias wires, and increased the size of VCD files proportionally; this
commit eliminates the redundancy from VCD files so that their size
is the same as before.

whitequark 9b39c6f744 cxxrtl: emit debug information for alias wires.
Alias wires can represent a significant chunk of the design in highly

improves usability.

The `hdlname` attribute is used as the lookup key such that original
names, as emitted by the frontend, can be used for debugging and
introspection.

problem entirely.

Add YS_FALLTHROUGH macro to mark case fall-through
C++17 introduced [[fallthrough]], GCC and clang had their own vendored
attributes before that. MSVC doesn't seem to have such a warning at all.

Sahand Kashani 1f1b64b880 Add extmodule support to firrtl backend
The current firrtl backend emits blackboxes as standard modules
with an empty body, but this causes the firrtl compiler to
optimize out entire circuits due to the absence of any drivers.

Yosys already tags blackboxes with a (*blackbox*) attribute, so this
commit just propagates this change to firrtl's syntax for blackboxes.

Vamsi K Vytla 5f9cd2e2f6 Preserve 'signed'-ness of a verilog wire through RTLIL
As per suggestion made in https://github.com/YosysHQ/yosys/pull/1987, now:

RTLIL::wire holds an is_signed field.
This is exported in JSON backend
This is exported via dump_rtlil command
This is read in via ilang_parser

whitequark a0e658d412 cxxrtl: use `cxxrtl_` prefix rather than `cxxrtl.`
The former prefix does not need to be escaped in Verilog, unlike
the latter, and the Yosys convention is to use the former.

Asu dc77563a6a cxxrtl: keep the memory write queue sorted on insertion.
Strategically inserting the pending memory write in memory::update to keep the
queue sorted allows us to skip the queue sort in memory::commit.

The Minerva SRAM SoC runs ~7% faster as a result.

whitequark 1d5b6ac253 cxxrtl: add an unsupported knob for manipulating clock trees.
This is quite possibly the worst way to implement this, but it does
work for a subset of well-behaved designs, and can be used to measure
how much performance is lost simulating the inactive edge of a clock.

It should be replaced with a clock tree analyzer generating safe
code once it is clear how should such a thing look like.

whitequark d22a8d157d cxxrtl: add (*cxxrtl.{comb,sync}*) annotations on black box outputs.
If the annotations are not used, this commit does not alter semantics
at all, other than removing elision of outputs of black box cells.
(Elision of such outputs is expected to be too rare to have any
noticeable benefit, and the implementation was somewhat of a hack.)

The (* cxxrtl.comb *) annotation alters the semantics of the output
of the black box it is applied to such that, if the black box
converges immediately, no additional delta cycle is necessary to
propagate the computed combinatorial value upwards in hierarchy.

The (* cxxrtl.sync *) annotation alters the semantics of the output
of the black box it is applied to such as to remove any uses of
the black box by the wires connected to this output, and break false
feedback arcs arising from conservative modeling of dependencies of
the black box.

Although currently these attributes are only recognized on black
boxes, if separate compilation is added in the future, it could also
emit and consume them.

whitequark 164b0746d2 cxxrtl: s/sync_{wire,type}/edge_{wire,type}/. NFC.
The attribute for this is called (* cxxrtl.edge *), and there is
a planned attribute (* cxxrtl.sync *) that would cause blackbox
cell outputs to be added to sync defs rather than comb defs.
Rename the edge detector related stuff to avoid confusion.

whitequark 4aa0f450f5 cxxrtl: use one delta cycle for immediately converging netlists.
If it is statically known that eval() will converge in one delta
cycle (that is, the second commit() will always return `false`)
because the design contains no feedback or buffered wires, then
there is no need to run the second delta cycle at all.

After this commit, the case where eval() always converges immediately
is detected and the second delta cycle is omitted. As a result,
Minerva SRAM SoC runs ~25% faster.

whitequark 7f5313e6c3 cxxrtl: add -O6, a shortcut for running `proc; flatten`.
People judge a compiler backend by the first impression, and
the metric they judge it for is speed. -O6 does severely impact
debuggability, but it provides equally massive gains in performance,
so use it by default.
