对齐指针上的未对齐访问?

我有这个功能代码:

bool interpolate(const Mat &im, float ofsx, float ofsy, float a11, float a12, float a21, float a22, Mat &res)
{         
   bool ret = false;
   // input size (-1 for the safe bilinear interpolation)
   const int width = im.cols-1;
   const int height = im.rows-1;
   // output size
   const int halfWidth  = res.cols >> 1;
   const int halfHeight = res.rows >> 1;
   float *out = res.ptr<float>(0);
   const float *imptr  = im.ptr<float>(0);
   for (int j=-halfHeight; j<=halfHeight; ++j)
   {
      const float rx = ofsx + j * a12;
      const float ry = ofsy + j * a22;
      #pragma omp simd
      for(int i=-halfWidth; i<=halfWidth; ++i, out++)
      {
         float wx = rx + i * a11;
         float wy = ry + i * a21;
         const int x = (int) floor(wx);
         const int y = (int) floor(wy);
         if (x >= 0 && y >= 0 && x < width && y < height)
         {
            // compute weights
            wx -= x; wy -= y;
            int rowOffset = y*im.cols;
            int rowOffset1 = (y+1)*im.cols;
            // bilinear interpolation
            *out =
                (1.0f - wy) * ((1.0f - wx) * imptr[rowOffset+x]   + wx * imptr[rowOffset+x+1]) +
                (       wy) * ((1.0f - wx) * imptr[rowOffset1+x] + wx * imptr[rowOffset1+x+1]);
         } else {
            *out = 0;
            ret =  true; // touching boundary of the input            
         }
      }
   }
   return ret;
}

这是使用icpc和以下选项编译的代码的一部分:

INTEL_OPT=-O3 -simd -xCORE-AVX2 -parallel -qopenmp -fargument-noalias -ansi-alias -no-prec-div -fp-model fast=2 -fma -align -finline-functions
INTEL_PROFILE=-g -qopt-report=5 -Bdynamic -shared-intel -debug inline-debug-info -qopenmp-link dynamic -parallel-source-info=2 -ldl

在优化报告文件(.optr)中有以下这些行:

  remark #15389: vectorization support: reference *out has unaligned access   [ /home/luca/Dropbox/HKUST/CloudCache/cloudcache/CloudCache/Descriptors/hesaff/helpers.cpp(259,14) ]
  remark #15389: vectorization support: reference *out has unaligned access   [ /home/luca/Dropbox/HKUST/CloudCache/cloudcache/CloudCache/Descriptors/hesaff/helpers.cpp(263,14) ]
  remark #15389: vectorization support: reference *out has unaligned access   [ /home/luca/Dropbox/HKUST/CloudCache/cloudcache/CloudCache/Descriptors/hesaff/helpers.cpp(263,14) ]

第259行和第263行显然改变了out值。

据我所知,这意味着out未对齐(此处有更多信息[https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/fdiag15126]here)。

然而,这已经很奇怪了,因为当我发现它here时,cv::Mat对象已经对齐了。但这可能是合法的,因为编译器无法知道对齐... 然而如果我将out专门分配为对齐指针,如果我添加以下行,则会出现消息:

out = (float*) _mm_malloc(res.cols*res.rows*sizeof(float), 32);

这应该足以告诉编译器数据是对齐的。我错了吗?否则,我怎么能告诉它out已经对齐?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:0)

编译器看到out++。它不能保持对齐。

(也就是说,它仍然与float*访问保持一致,但该消息指的是需要更严格对齐的SIMD矢量化)
