[CPU] Vectorize parallel dims for non-AVX512 x86 matmul defaults (#24701) See GitHub issue: https://github.com/iree-org/iree/issues/24700 `getDefaultMatmulVectorSizes` used `{1, 1, vectorSize}` for non-AVX512 x86, which vectorizes only the reduction (`K`) dim and leaves the parallel/output dims scalar. This forces a horizontal reduction per output element and is dramatically slower for f32 matmul_like / batch_matmul kernels compared to v3.5 (~2.4x end-to-end regression on an affected model; ~92x on an isolated `512x512x512` matmul at `x86-64-v3`, `-O1`). Mirror the AArch64/RISC-V defaults by register-blocking the matmul with `{8, vectorSize, vectorSize}`, vectorizing both parallel dims (`M` unroll, `N` vector) in addition to `K`. Numerics are unchanged. As a side effect, dynamic-shape accumulating GEMMs may now hoist a couple of tiny fixed-size remainder scratch buffers (`memref.alloca`) from register-blocked peeling; the accumulator stays in registers and is written directly to the destination (no heap alloc, no `linalg.generic` copy). The `pipeline_tests.mlir` accumulating-GEMM guard is relaxed to forbid only heap allocation, and the `select_x86_64` expected configs are updated `([1, 1, 0] -> [8, 4, 0])`. --------- Signed-off-by: Paul Stark <paul.stark@cdprojektred.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
IREE (Intermediate Representation Execution Environment, pronounced as “eerie”) is an MLIR-based end-to-end compiler and runtime that lowers Machine Learning (ML) models to a unified IR that scales up to meet the needs of the datacenter and down to satisfy the constraints and special considerations of mobile and edge deployments.
