搭建实验环境
首先新建一个包含native代码的项目：
然后在gradle中添加对neon的支持：
externalNativeBuild {
cmake {
cppFlags "-std=c++14"
arguments "-DANDROID_ARM_NEON=TRUE"
}
}
这样，项目就可以支持neon加速了。
小试牛刀
一个最简单的neon编程的流程大致是这样的： 1、装载数据到neon寄存器 2、执行运算 3、从neon寄存器中把结果写回内存。
没有例子不知从何说起，先上一个超级简单的例子吧：
#include <jni.h>
#include <string>
#include <arm_neon.h>
#include <android/log.h>
#define LOG_TAG "TEST_NEON"
#define LOGD(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_DEBUG, LOG_TAG, __VA_ARGS__)
#define LOGI(...) __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_INFO, LOG_TAG, __VA_ARGS__)
extern "C"{
void test()
{
int16_t result[8];
int8x8_t a = vdup_n_s8(121);
int8x8_t b = vdup_n_s8(2);
int16x8_t c;
c = vmull_s8(a,b);
vst1q_s16(result,c);
for(int i=0;i<8;i++){
LOGD("data[%d] is %d ",i,result[i]);
}
}
JNIEXPORT jstring
JNICALL
Java_com_example_javer_myapplication_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
JNIEnv *env,
jobject /* this */) {
std::string hello = "Hello from C++";
test();
return env->NewStringUTF(hello.c_str());
}
}
执行结果：
09-07 12:03:08.335 11709-11709/? D/TEST_NEON:
data[0] is 242
data[1] is 242
data[2] is 242
data[3] is 242
data[4] is 242
data[5] is 242
data[6] is 242
data[7] is 242
代码中，test函数中实现了两个64位neon寄存器的乘法。
vdup是数据复制指令，这里把128这个8位的数复制到一个64位的寄存器中，64位能存放8个8位的数，因此，此时a指向的neon寄存器存放了8个128。
两个8位的数相乘，结果可能是16位的，因此，结果需要用一个128位的寄存器来保存。int16x8就表示的是一个128位的寄存器。
vmull_s8把a,b相乘，并将结果保存在c中。c指向的是neon的128位寄存器，因此，我们需要把结果写回内存。
vst1q_s16把c中的数据协会result指向的内存中。
这是一个简单的测试neon指令的代码，通过这个代码我们能清晰的认识到neon加速的原理：一次装载8个8位的数到64位寄存器，一条指令能把实现两个8*8的数据块的乘法。
这样效率不就接近提升8倍么？当然没有这么理想，毕竟装载数据和写回数据也是需要时间的。
实战尝试
接下来，尝试一个比较简单的rgb转灰度图的code:
void normal_convert (uint8_t * __restrict dest, uint8_t * __restrict src, int n)
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
int r = *src++; // load red
int g = *src++; // load green
int b = *src++; // load blue
// build weighted average:
int y = (r*77)+(g*151)+(b*28);
// undo the scale by 256 and write to memory:
*dest++ = (y>>8);
}
}
void neon_convert (uint8_t * __restrict dest, uint8_t * __restrict src, int n)
{
int i;
uint8x8_t rfac = vdup_n_u8 (77);
uint8x8_t gfac = vdup_n_u8 (151);
uint8x8_t bfac = vdup_n_u8 (28);
n/=8;
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
uint16x8_t temp;
uint8x8x3_t rgb = vld3_u8 (src);
uint8x8_t result;
temp = vmull_u8 (rgb.val[0], rfac);
temp = vmlal_u8 (temp,rgb.val[1], gfac);
temp = vmlal_u8 (temp,rgb.val[2], bfac);
result = vshrn_n_u16 (temp, 8);
vst1_u8 (dest, result);
src += 8*3;
dest += 8;
}
}
void test1()
{
//准备一张图片，使用软件模拟生成，格式为rgb rgb ..
uint32_t const array_size = 2048*2048;
uint8_t * rgb = new uint8_t[array_size*3];
for(int i=0;i<array_size;i++){
rgb[i*3]=234;
rgb[i*3+1]=94;
rgb[i*3+2]=23;
}
//灰度图大小为rgb的1/3
uint8_t * gray = new uint8_t[array_size];
struct timeval tv1,tv2;
gettimeofday(&tv1,NULL);
normal_convert(gray,rgb,array_size);
gettimeofday(&tv2,NULL);
LOGD("pure cpu cost time:%ld",(tv2.tv_sec-tv1.tv_sec)*1000000+(tv2.tv_usec-tv1.tv_usec));
gettimeofday(&tv1,NULL);
neon_convert(gray,rgb,array_size);
gettimeofday(&tv2,NULL);
LOGD("neon cost time:%ld",(tv2.tv_sec-tv1.tv_sec)*1000000+(tv2.tv_usec-tv1.tv_usec));
delete[] rgb;
delete[] gray;
}
JNIEXPORT jstring
JNICALL
Java_com_example_javer_myapplication_MainActivity_stringFromJNI(
JNIEnv *env,
jobject /* this */) {
std::string hello = "Hello from C++";
test1();
return env->NewStringUTF(hello.c_str());
}
具体的指令就不一一说明了，大家参考neon汇编指令集，对照着看就好。
纯cpu耗时53ms,neon优化后耗时43ms,提升非常有限，跟提升近8倍的预期相差甚远。这主要是因为c转换为汇编后，生成的汇编指令不够简洁，使得效率大大降低。因此，接下来，使用汇编对代码进行优化。
CMake添加汇编支持
为了在Cmake中编译汇编文件，我们需要在CMakeLists.txt文件中申明对汇编语言的支持，添加ENABLE_LANGUAGE(ASM)即可实现对汇编的支持，接着将汇编文件添加进来，此处贴出完整的CMakeLists.txt文件供大家参考：
# For more information about using CMake with Android Studio, read the
# documentation: https://d.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code.html
# Sets the minimum version of CMake required to build the native library.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.4.1)
# Creates and names a library, sets it as either STATIC
# or SHARED, and provides the relative paths to its source code.
# You can define multiple libraries, and CMake builds them for you.
# Gradle automatically packages shared libraries with your APK.
ENABLE_LANGUAGE(ASM)
add_library( # Sets the name of the library.
native-lib
# Sets the library as a shared library.
SHARED
# Provides a relative path to your source file(s).
src/main/cpp/Neon.S
src/main/cpp/native-lib.cpp
)
# Searches for a specified prebuilt library and stores the path as a
# variable. Because CMake includes system libraries in the search path by
# default, you only need to specify the name of the public NDK library
# you want to add. CMake verifies that the library exists before
# completing its build.
find_library( # Sets the name of the path variable.
log-lib
# Specifies the name of the NDK library that
# you want CMake to locate.
log )
# Specifies libraries CMake should link to your target library. You
# can link multiple libraries, such as libraries you define in this
# build script, prebuilt third-party libraries, or system libraries.
target_link_libraries( # Specifies the target library.
native-lib
# Links the target library to the log library
# included in the NDK.
${log-lib} )
实现汇编Neon优化
然后在cpp文件中申明：
void neon_asm_convert(uint8_t * dest, uint8_t * src,int n);
注意，这个申明是包含在extern “C”中的。 然后在Neon.S中实现neon_asm_convert函数：
.globl neon_asm_convert
neon_asm_convert:
# r0: Ptr to destination data
# r1: Ptr to source data
# r2: Iteration count:
push {r4-r5,lr}
lsr r2, r2, #3
# build the three constants:
mov r3, #77
mov r4, #151
mov r5, #28
vdup.8 d3, r3
vdup.8 d4, r4
vdup.8 d5, r5
.loop:
# load 8 pixels:
vld3.8 {d0-d2}, [r1]!
# do the weight average:
vmull.u8 q3, d0, d3
vmlal.u8 q3, d1, d4
vmlal.u8 q3, d2, d5
# shift and store:
vshrn.u16 d6, q3, #8
vst1.8 {d6}, [r0]!
subs r2, r2, #1
bne .loop
pop { r4-r5, pc }
为了对比结果的正确性，专门写了个比对函数：
int compare(uint8_t *a,uint8_t* b,int n)
{
for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
if(a[i]!=b[i]){
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
并将结果打印在时间后面：
LOGD("neon c cost time:%ld,result is %d",(tv2.tv_sec-tv1.tv_sec)*1000000+(tv2.tv_usec-tv1.tv_usec),result);
三者对比：
09-07 17:12:19.946 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: pure cpu cost time:57073
09-07 17:12:20.012 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: neon c cost time:45460,result is 0
09-07 17:12:20.034 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: neon asm cost time:3397,result is 0
09-07 17:12:25.271 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: pure cpu cost time:57404
09-07 17:12:25.336 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: neon c cost time:45166,result is 0
09-07 17:12:25.359 25861-25861/com.example.javer.myapplication D/TEST_NEON: neon asm cost time:3493,result is 0
最终发现，汇编执行的结果完全正确，时间提升超过了16倍！！！！！！！！！！！ 我甚至不敢相信能提升这么多。。。可对比的结果是完全一样啊！！这…….
