Tile Operation Diagram

TTRANS tile operation

Introduction

Transpose with an implementation-defined temporary tile.

Math Interpretation

For a 2D tile, over the effective transpose domain:

\[ \mathrm{dst}_{i,j} = \mathrm{src}_{j,i} \]

Exact shape/layout and the transpose domain depend on the target (see Constraints).

Assembly Syntax

PTO-AS form: see PTO-AS Specification.

Synchronous form:

%dst = ttrans %src : !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

Lowering may introduce internal scratch tiles; the C++ intrinsic requires an explicit tmp operand.

AS Level 1 (SSA)

%dst = pto.ttrans %src : !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

AS Level 2 (DPS)

pto.ttrans ins(%src : !pto.tile_buf<...>) outs(%dst : !pto.tile_buf<...>)

C++ Intrinsic

Declared in include/pto/common/pto_instr.hpp:

template <typename TileDataDst, typename TileDataSrc, typename TileDataTmp, typename... WaitEvents>
PTO_INST RecordEvent TTRANS(TileDataDst &dst, TileDataSrc &src, TileDataTmp &tmp, WaitEvents &... events);

Constraints

  • Implementation checks (A2A3):
    • sizeof(TileDataSrc::DType) == sizeof(TileDataDst::DType).
    • Source layout must be row-major (TileDataSrc::isRowMajor).
    • Element size must be 1, 2, or 4 bytes.
    • Supported element types are restricted per element width:
    • 4 bytes: uint32_t, int32_t, float
    • 2 bytes: uint16_t, int16_t, half, bfloat16_t
    • 1 byte: uint8_t, int8_t
    • The transpose size is taken from src.GetValidRow() / src.GetValidCol().
  • Implementation checks (A5):
    • sizeof(TileDataSrc::DType) == sizeof(TileDataDst::DType).
    • 32-byte alignment constraints are enforced on the major dimension of both input and output (row-major checks Cols * sizeof(T) % 32 == 0, col-major checks Rows * sizeof(T) % 32 == 0).
    • Supported element types are restricted per element width:
    • 4 bytes: uint32_t, int32_t, float
    • 2 bytes: uint16_t, int16_t, half, bfloat16_t
    • 1 byte: uint8_t, int8_t
    • The implementation operates over the static tile shape (TileDataSrc::Rows/Cols) and does not consult GetValidRow/GetValidCol.
  • Temporary tile:
    • The C++ API requires tmp, but some implementations may not use it.
  • ConvTile:
    • Transpose of ConvTile for TileType::Vec is supported。 Element size must be 1、2 or 4 bytes. Supported element types are uint32_t、int32_t、float、uint16_t、int16_t、half、bfloat16_t、uint8_t、int8_t.
    • Format transformation from NCHW to NC1HWC0 is supported, while C1 == (C + C0 - 1)/C0，HW matches alignment constraint，which means H*W*sizeof(T)==0. C0 means c0_size, which C0 * sizeof(T) == 32。C0 can also be 4.
    • Format transformation from NC1HWC0 to FRACTAL_Z is supported， while N1 == (N + N0 - 1)/N0。N0 should be 16.

Manual Mode

# Manual mode: bind resources explicitly before issuing the instruction.
# Optional for tile operands:
# pto.tassign %arg0, @tile(0x1000)
# pto.tassign %arg1, @tile(0x2000)
%dst = pto.ttrans %src : !pto.tile<...> -> !pto.tile<...>

PTO Assembly Form
