The problem that I see is that the haifa scheduler schedules one cycle
at a time, in a forward order, by picking from a list of instructions
that can be scheduled without delays. So, in the above example, if
instruction one is scheduled during cycle 3, it can't schedule
instruction two during cycle 0, 1, or 2 because its producer dependency
(instruction one) hasn't been scheduled yet. It won't be able to
schedule it until cycle 3. So I am asking if there is an existing
mechanism to back schedule instruction two once instruction one is
issued.
I see, thanks. There is no such mechanism in the current insn
scheduler.
Well, the scheduler has support for an exposed pipeline that is used by
the C6X port. Insns are split into multiple pieces which are forced to
be scheduled at a fixed distance in time from each other, each piece
describing the effects that occur at that point in time. This could
probably be made to work for this target's requirements, but it might
run quite slowly.
