> Hi All,

> As per the discussion on panama-dev mailing list[1], patch adds the support 
> following new vector operators.
> 
> 
>      . SUADD   : Saturating unsigned addition.
>      . SADD    : Saturating signed addition. 
>      . SUSUB   : Saturating unsigned subtraction.
>      . SSUB    : Saturating signed subtraction.
>      . UMAX    : Unsigned max
>      . UMIN    : Unsigned min.

> New vector operators are applicable to only integral types since their values 
> wraparound in over/underflowing scenarios after setting appropriate status 
> flags. For floating point types, as per IEEE 754 specs there are multiple 
> schemes to handler underflow, one of them is gradual underflow which 
> transitions the value to subnormal range. Similarly, overflow implicitly 
> saturates the floating-point value to an Infinite value.
> 
> As the name suggests, these are saturating operations, i.e. the result of the 
> computation is strictly capped by lower and upper bounds of the result type 
> and is not wrapped around in underflowing or overflowing scenarios.
> 
> Summary of changes:
> - Java side implementation of new vector operators.
> - Add new scalar saturating APIs for each of the above saturating vector 
> operator in corresponding primitive box classes, fallback implementation of 
> vector operators is based over it.
> - C2 compiler IR and inline expander changes.
> - Optimized x86 backend implementation for new vector operators and their 
> predicated counterparts.
> - Extends existing VectorAPI Jtreg test suite to cover new operations.
> 
> Kindly review and share your feedback.
> 
> Best Regards,
> PS: Intrinsification and auto-vectorization of new core-lib API will be 
> addressed separately in a follow-up patch.
