I have this code which I test on my AVX2 machine:
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; }
As suggested by Intel Advisor, I added #pragma omp simd to force vectorization since the compiler (icpc 2017 update 3) assumed an inexistent dependency. On my AVX2 machine this doesn't produce any error and actually improve perfomance.
However, on the AVX-512 machine (with same compiler and version) this generates a segmentation fault. Why this happens?
The compilation flags are the same, expect that one use -xCORE-AVX2' and the other one-xMIC-AVX512`. This is the complete set of compilation flags:
INTEL_OPT=-O3 -ipo -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
Some halfWidth examples are 20, 9, 17... while halfHeight values are 48, 20, 9, 43... If you mean the im size some examples of width are 1368, 683, 62 ... while height 50, 1061, 58, ...notice that the values that I reported are not the correspondent to each other, I just reported random number that I've seen from their printing
