Procedure for Runnning SoftFloat/TestFloat with Wally
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
1.) First, compile SoftFloat and TestFloat by going to the addins
 | 
			
		||||
directory and finding the specific build directory (e.g.,
 | 
			
		||||
Linux_x86_64-GCC.  Currently, we are using v3e of
 | 
			
		||||
SoftFloat/TestFloat.  I am not sure of the order, but I always compile
 | 
			
		||||
SoftFloat first as I believe TestFloat uses the static library
 | 
			
		||||
SoftFloat creates.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
2.) Once compiled both, go to the tests/fp directory and run the
 | 
			
		||||
create_vectors.sh Linux script.  In the past, we have automated this,
 | 
			
		||||
but I believe this has fallen into more of a manual state lately.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
3.) Then, run remove_spaces.sh which will remove spaces from the
 | 
			
		||||
output and put underscores between vectors (this helps differentiate
 | 
			
		||||
the vectors that are generated).  Again, this can be combined with
 | 
			
		||||
Step 2.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
4.) TestFloat is run from wally/cvw/sim and sim-testfloat-batch with
 | 
			
		||||
its respective test.  The format is ./sim-testfloat-add add.  All of
 | 
			
		||||
the tests are listed below.  This can be augmented or added to for
 | 
			
		||||
other FP tests given by the great SoftFloat/TestFloat output.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
 cvtint - test integer conversion unit (fcvtint)
 | 
			
		||||
 cvtfp  - test floating-point conversion unit (fcvtfp)
 | 
			
		||||
 cmp    - test comparison unit's LT, LE, EQ opperations (fcmp)
 | 
			
		||||
 add    - test addition
 | 
			
		||||
 fma    - test fma
 | 
			
		||||
 mul    - test mult with fma
 | 
			
		||||
 sub    - test subtraction
 | 
			
		||||
 div    - test division
 | 
			
		||||
 sqrt   - test square root
 | 
			
		||||
 all    - test everything
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
4a.) Each test will test all its vectors - if you want to test a
 | 
			
		||||
subset of the vectors (e.g., only binary16), you should modify the
 | 
			
		||||
cvw/testbench/tests-fp.h and comment out the tests  you do not want to
 | 
			
		||||
test.  The best way to do this is to comment out each item out with
 | 
			
		||||
the // comment option in SV.  For example,
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
string f128div[] = '{
 | 
			
		||||
//	"f128_div_rne.tv",
 | 
			
		||||
//	"f128_div_rz.tv",
 | 
			
		||||
//	"f128_div_ru.tv",
 | 
			
		||||
//	"f128_div_rd.tv",
 | 
			
		||||
//	"f128_div_rnm.tv"
 | 
			
		||||
};
 | 
			
		||||
