I just asked on Reddit because the password recovery email took its sweet time, but how large is the spiller in a typical Mill family member? Gold, copper, tin.
I am interested in how large a loop can be pipelined for something like a box blur, which has 3 colors times blur length of info that it would need to save across loop iterations. I would be interested in blur lengths of ~20 pixels, making it need 60 saved belt entries. Is this feasible?

I just realized that the blur in my algorithm only happens on a single channel array, so ignore all mentions of three colors. ::sigh::
That was used in another context of the same program, and it was actually faster than separate arrays for each color, at least on x86. It is a weird algorithm indeed.
My original question still stands, though.

It could be if bandwidth to and from the GPU is unlimited and all of the work can fit there.

What can you change in CPU design to reduce memory bandwidth issues? Would you be able to, say, have 4 or 6 memory channels instead of the 2 typical today?
Given the memory bandwidth limitations and the fact that Mill can pipeline AND vectorize loops, wouldn’t trading a bit of latency help throughput on these very short loops?
