pub unsafe fn tensor_load_l2(
addr: usize,
start: u8,
rows: u8,
id: bool,
stride: u64,
)Expand description
Initiate an asynchronous TensorLoadL2Scp from memory into the shire L2 cache.
Identical to tensor_load in xs encoding and x31 convention, but targets
CSR 0x85F (TensorLoadL2Scp) rather than 0x83F. The rows are loaded into
the shire L2 without consuming any L1 scratchpad lines. Use this to prefetch
A strips while the current k-loop FMA executes; the subsequent
tensor_load for the same address will then complete from L2 rather than
DRAM, removing A-DMA latency from the FMA critical path.
§Parameters
Same as tensor_load: addr (64-byte aligned), start (L2 target line
index), rows (rows to load minus one, 0..=15), id (load event selector),
stride (row stride in bytes, 64-byte aligned).
§Safety
Same constraints as tensor_load: addr must be aligned and within
device memory; must be called from the primary hart.
