//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
//
// This file defines the target-independent scheduling interfaces which should
// be implemented by each target which is using TableGen based scheduling.
//
// The SchedMachineModel is defined by subtargets for three categories of data:
// 1. Basic properties for coarse grained instruction cost model.
// 2. Scheduler Read/Write resources for simple per-opcode cost model.
// 3. Instruction itineraties for detailed reservation tables.
//
// (1) Basic properties are defined by the SchedMachineModel
// class. Target hooks allow subtargets to associate opcodes with
// those properties.
//
// (2) A per-operand machine model can be implemented in any
// combination of the following ways:
//
// A. Associate per-operand SchedReadWrite types with Instructions by
// modifying the Instruction definition to inherit from Sched. For
// each subtarget, define WriteRes and ReadAdvance to associate
// processor resources and latency with each SchedReadWrite type.
//
// B. In each instruction definition, name an ItineraryClass. For each
// subtarget, define ItinRW entries to map ItineraryClass to
// per-operand SchedReadWrite types. Unlike method A, these types may
// be subtarget specific and can be directly associated with resources
// by defining SchedWriteRes and SchedReadAdvance.
//
// C. In the subtarget, map SchedReadWrite types to specific
// opcodes. This overrides any SchedReadWrite types or
// ItineraryClasses defined by the Instruction. As in method B, the
// subtarget can directly associate resources with SchedReadWrite
// types by defining SchedWriteRes and SchedReadAdvance.
//
// D. In either the target or subtarget, define SchedWriteVariant or
// SchedReadVariant to map one SchedReadWrite type onto another
// sequence of SchedReadWrite types. This allows dynamic selection of
// an instruction's machine model via custom C++ code. It also allows
// a machine-independent SchedReadWrite type to map to a sequence of
// machine-dependent types.
//
// (3) A per-pipeline-stage machine model can be implemented by providing
// Itineraries in addition to mapping instructions to ItineraryClasses.
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

// Include legacy support for instruction itineraries.

// Define a kind of processor resource that may be common across
// similar subtargets.
class ProcResourceKind;

// Define a number of interchangeable processor resources. NumUnits
// determines the throughput of instructions that require the resource.
//
// An optional Super resource may be given to model these resources as
// a subset of the more general super resources. Using one of these
// resources implies using one of the super resoruces.
//
// ProcResourceUnits normally model a few buffered resources within an
// out-of-order engine. Buffered resources may be held for multiple
// clock cycles, but the scheduler does not pin them to a particular
// clock cycle relative to instruction dispatch. Setting BufferSize=0
// changes this to an in-order issue/dispatch resource. In this case,
// the scheduler counts down from the cycle that the instruction
// issues in-order, forcing a stall whenever a subsequent instruction
// requires the same resource until the number of ResourceCyles
// specified in WriteRes expire. Setting BufferSize=1 changes this to
// an in-order latency resource. In this case, the scheduler models
// producer/consumer stalls between instructions that use the
// resource.
//
// Examples (all assume an out-of-order engine):
//
// Use BufferSize = -1 for "issue ports" fed by a unified reservation
// station. Here the size of the reservation station is modeled by
// MicroOpBufferSize, which should be the minimum size of either the
// register rename pool, unified reservation station, or reorder
// buffer.
//
// Use BufferSize = 0 for resources that force "dispatch/issue
// groups". (Different processors define dispath/issue
// differently. Here we refer to stage between decoding into micro-ops
// and moving them into a reservation station.) Normally NumMicroOps
// is sufficient to limit dispatch/issue groups. However, some
// processors can form groups of with only certain combinitions of
// instruction types. e.g. POWER7.
//
// Use BufferSize = 1 for in-order execution units. This is used for
// an in-order pipeline within an out-of-order core where scheduling
// dependent operations back-to-back is guaranteed to cause a
// bubble. e.g. Cortex-a9 floating-point.
//
// Use BufferSize > 1 for out-of-order executions units with a
// separate reservation station. This simply models the size of the
// reservation station.
//
// To model both dispatch/issue groups and in-order execution units,
// create two types of units, one with BufferSize=0 and one with
// BufferSize=1.

// SchedModel ties these units to a processor for any stand-alone defs
// of this class. Instances of subclass ProcResource will be automatically

//
// If a target already has itinerary classes, SchedWriteResources can
// be used instead to define subtarget specific SchedWrites and map
// them to processor resources in one place. Then ItinRW can map
// itinerary classes to the subtarget's SchedWrites.
//
// ProcResources indicates the set of resources consumed by the write.
// Optionally, ResourceCycles indicates the number of cycles the
// resource is consumed. Each ResourceCycles item is paired with the

// incomplete. By default, resources are consumed for a single cycle,

// By default, each SchedWrite takes one micro-op, which is counted

// subtarget requires multiple micro-ops to write a single result, it
// should either override the write's NumMicroOps to be greater than 1
// or require additional writes. Extra writes can be required either
// by defining a WriteSequence, or simply listing extra writes in the
// instruction's list of writers beyond the number of "def"
