AVX2 有符号 8 位元素的整数乘法，产生有符号 16 位结果？

我有两个 __m256i 向量，填充了 32 个 8 位整数。像这样的东西：

    __int8 *a0 = new __int8[32] {2};
    __int8 *a1 = new __int8[32] {3};

    __m256i v0 = _mm256_loadu_si256((__m256i*)a0);
    __m256i v1 = _mm256_loadu_si256((__m256i*)a1);

我如何使用类似的方法将这些向量相乘_mm256_mul_epi8(v0, v1)（不存在）或任何其他方式？

我想要 2 个结果向量，因为输出元素宽度是输入元素宽度的两倍。或者类似的东西_mm_mul_epu32仅使用偶数输入元素（0、2、4 等）就可以了

您希望将结果分成两个向量，所以这是我对您的问题的建议。我试图说得清楚、简单和可实现：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <x86intrin.h>
 void _mm256_print_epi8(__m256i );
 void _mm256_print_epi16(__m256i );
 void _mm256_mul_epi8(__m256i , __m256i , __m256i* , __m256i* );


int main()
{
    char a0[32] = {1, 2, 3, -4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, -10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, -24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32};
    char a1[32] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, -13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, -20, 21, 22, 23, 24, -25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33};

    __m256i v0 = _mm256_loadu_si256((__m256i*) &a0[0]);
    __m256i v1 = _mm256_loadu_si256((__m256i*) &a1[0]);

    __m256i r0, r1;//for 16 bit results

    _mm256_mul_epi8(v0, v1, &r0, &r1);

    printf("\nv0 = ");_mm256_print_epi8(v0);
    printf("\nv1 = ");_mm256_print_epi8(v1);
    printf("\nr0 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(r0);
    printf("\nr1 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(r1);
    printf("\nfinished\n");


    return 0;
}
//v0 and v1 are 8 bit input vectors. r0 and r1 are 18 bit results of multiplications
 void _mm256_mul_epi8(__m256i v0, __m256i v1, __m256i* r0, __m256i* r1)
{
    __m256i tmp0, tmp1;
    __m128i m128_v0, m128_v1;

    m128_v0 = _mm256_extractf128_si256 (v0, 0);
    m128_v1 = _mm256_extractf128_si256 (v1, 0);

    tmp0= _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (m128_v0); //printf("\ntmp0 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp0);
    tmp1= _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (m128_v1); //printf("\ntmp1 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp1);


    *r0 =_mm256_mullo_epi16(tmp0, tmp1);

    m128_v0 = _mm256_extractf128_si256 (v0, 1);
    m128_v1 = _mm256_extractf128_si256 (v1, 1);

    tmp0= _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (m128_v0); //printf("\ntmp0 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp0);
    tmp1= _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (m128_v1); //printf("\ntmp1 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp1);

    *r1 =_mm256_mullo_epi16(tmp0, tmp1);


}
 void _mm256_print_epi8(__m256i vec)
{
    char temp[32];
    _mm256_storeu_si256((__m256i*)&temp[0], vec);
    int i;
    for(i=0; i<32; i++)
        printf(" %3i,", temp[i]);


}

 void _mm256_print_epi16(__m256i vec)
{
    short temp[16];
    _mm256_storeu_si256((__m256i*)&temp[0], vec);
    int i;
    for(i=0; i<16; i++)
        printf(" %3i,", temp[i]);   
}

输出是：

NOTE:我已经在推荐代码中注释了中间结果 tmp0 和 tmp1。 此外，正如彼得在评论中建议的并提供了一个 Godbolt 链接，如果您的程序从内存加载并且不需要乘以向量中的元素，您可以使用以下代码：

#include <immintrin.h>

//v0 and v1 are 8 bit input vectors. r0 and r1 are 18 bit results of multiplications
__m256i mul_epi8_to_16(__m128i v0, __m128i v1)
{
    __m256i tmp0 = _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (v0); //printf("\ntmp0 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp0);
    __m256i tmp1 = _mm256_cvtepi8_epi16 (v1); //printf("\ntmp1 = ");_mm256_print_epi16(tmp1);

    return _mm256_mullo_epi16(tmp0, tmp1);
}

__m256i mul_epi8_to_16_memsrc(char *__restrict a, char *__restrict b){

    __m128i v0 = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i*) a);
    __m128i v1 = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i*) b);
    return mul_epi8_to_16(v0, v1);
}


int main()
{
    char a0[32] = {1, 2, 3, -4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, -10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, -24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32};
    char a1[32] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, -13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, -20, 21, 22, 23, 24, -25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33};

    __m256i r0 = mul_epi8_to_16_memsrc(a0, a1);
