This skips the round-trip to scalar register for the sliding 'x' coefficients, improving performance by about 5%. The trick here is that the vector slide-up instruction preserves elements in destination vector until the slide offset. The switch from vfslide1up.vf to vslideup.vi also allows the elimination of data dependencies on consecutive slides. Since the specifications recommend sticking to power of two offsets, we could slide as follows: vslideup.vi v8, v0, 2 vslideup.vi v4, v0, 1 vslideup.vi v12, v8, 1 vslideup.vi v16, v8, 2 However in the device under test, this seems to make performance slightly worse, so this is left for (in)validation with future better hardware.
