Adding new HWY_AVX10_2 target

[johnplatts]

The upcoming Intel AVX10.2 instruction set (which is described in the specification that can be found at https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/828965/intel-advanced-vector-extensions-10-2-intel-avx10-2-architecture-specification.html) adds the following operations:

• BF16 Add/Sub/Mul/Div/Sqrt/[Neg]MulAdd/[Neg]MulSub/ApproximateReciprocal[Sqrt]
• BF16 Eq/Ne/Le/Lt/Ge/Gt/Min/Max
• IEEE 754-2019 Min/Max for BF16/F16/F32/F64 vectors
• BF16/F16/F32/F64 MinMagnitude (equivalent to IfThenElse(Lt(Abs(a), Abs(b)), a, b) if both a[i] and b[i] are non-NaN)
• BF16/F16/F32/F64 MaxMagnitude (equivalent to IfThenElse(Lt(Abs(a), Abs(b)), b, a) if both a[i] and b[i] are non-NaN)
• F16/BF16/F32->I8/U8 DemoteTo (there is already a use case for F16->I8/U8 DemoteTo in the implementation of I8/U8 Div on AVX3_SPR/AVX10_2/NEON_BF16)
• F32->F16 OrderedDemote2To
• New floating-point to integer PromoteTo/ConvertTo/DemoteTo instructions that saturate out-of-range non-NaN values to be within the range of the target integer type and convert NaNs to 0
• F16->F32 WidenMulPairwiseAdd
• U16xU16->U32 WidenMulPairwiseAdd/SatWidenMulPairwiseAccumulate/ReorderWidenMulAccumulate (originally introduced in AVX-VNNI-INT16, but extended to include 512-bit vectors on AVX10.2 CPU's that support 512-bit vectors)
• I8xI8->I32 and U8xU8->I32 SumOfMulQuadAccumulate (originally introduced in AVX-VNNI-INT8, but extended to include 512-bit vectors on AVX10.2 CPU's that support 512-bit vectors)

GCC 15 and Clang 20, which are currently under development and scheduled to be released in Spring 2025, will have support for the new AVX10.2 intrinsics.

The new _mm*_cvttsp[h,s,d]_epi* intrinsics available on AVX10.2 should also fix the undefined behavior that is there with the conversion of out-of-range floating-point vectors to integer vectors with GCC (and this issue was described at #2183).

Also need to move some of the ops for 256-bit or smaller vectors that are currently implemented in the hwy/ops/x86_512-inl.h header on AVX3 targets into a separate header as support for 512-bit vectors is optional on AVX10.2.

Thanks for starting the discussion! Looks like GNR has also just been introduced/launched, but that supports 10.1, I think.

Min/MaxNumber (Min with proper NaN handling per IEEE754:2019) and Min/MaxMagnitude look useful, as does F16 WidenMulPairwiseAdd. Would be very happy to see those added :)
I don't see a burning need for bf16 ops. This target is AFAIK the only platform that has them, and just about the only demand I see for bf16 is mul/add, which is mostly covered by the existing WidenMul.

I agree we'd want to split the "AVX3" and "512-bit" aspects of x86_512-inl.h.

How about I make a TODO for around 2025-03 to lay the groundwork by creating the HWY_AVX10_2 (or HWY_AVX102?) target/boilerplate? Would you later like to add some of its functionality?

MinMagnitude/MaxMagnitude ops are implemented in pull request #2353.

It is possible to go ahead and implement the HWY_AVX10_2 target as GCC 14, Clang 18, and Clang 19 have the -no-evex512 option that allows the HWY_AVX10_2 target to be implemented, even without full support for the intrinsics for the new AVX10.2 instructions that will be there in the upcoming GCC 15 and Clang 20 releases.

I have added new HWY_AVX10_2 and HWY_AVX10_2_512 targets in pull request #2395.

Very nice, thanks for adding the targets already :D
