The second step of the Jacobi algorithm is an usual "sparse" access
update pattern, which can not be simply optimized with a
rpt
loop.The loop is intrinsically limited by the number of load/store
operations. Nevertheless, by using
aop
outer product intrinsic +unrolling of 2 steps, the bundling of operations in the loop can be
massively improved, leading to 40% decrease of cycle count.
Additionally, this PR is adding a thin AMP C++ abstraction, allowing
a simple implementation between IPU hardware and IPU model.
