Efficiency Warnings

This is a summary of the “Efficiency Warnings” throughout the document. These are cases where inefficient translation to C7x may occur.

  • Collate. Stores using the collate distribution mode do not have efficient translations. (Section 5.3)
  • Parallel Stores. Stores using OFFSET_NP1 and PDDA ( p_scatter) distribution modes do not have efficient translations to C7x by default. (Section 5.3.2)
  • Lookup Table and Histogram Operations. Due to the overhead of copying the table data into and out of L1D, these operations can have inefficient translations. (Section 5.5)
