commit 2fb440876690bdcec0c11a30e2b33ad100bab529 (HEAD -> master, tag: 0.3.2)
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Sat Apr 28 14:07:31 2018 -0500
Version file update (0.3.2)
commit cdf041ddadd8725e578e2f59f37ae341f26655af (origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Sat Apr 28 14:05:00 2018 -0500
Use config.mk instead of common.mk in bump-version.sh.
Details:
- Fixed inadvertent targeting of common.mk when testing whether configure
had already been run, rather than config.mk.
commit 6ded8f9f0364b3c07255e2532ada3eeb2ed2a715
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Sat Apr 28 14:01:29 2018 -0500
Account for recent 'make distclean' in bump-version.sh.
Details:
- Added logic to build/bump-version.sh that will run './configure auto'
if 'common.mk' is not present (usually because 'make distclean' was run
recently).

Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 27 18:00:07 2018 -0500
Added more transposition/conjugation examples.
Details:
- Added code to examples/oapi/5level1m.c that demonstrates transposing
(and conjugate-transposing) unstructured matrices.
- Comment updates to 6level1m_diag.c to maintain consistency with new
examples in 5level1m.c.
commit 5606cd8881e75264a96af45dc8ea1905bab054f5
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 27 17:13:10 2018 -0500
Added utility module to examples/oapi.
Details:
- Added a new code example file to examples/oapi demonstrating how to use
various utility operations.
- Comment updates to other example files.
- README updates.
commit ff26c94c6486374c709f93c6965ea18903bd6a18
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 27 12:31:34 2018 -0500
Added missing gcc version constraint for knl.
Details:
- Previously forgot to add explicit enforcement of a minimum gcc version
in configure script when 'knl' sub-configuration is requested.
- Comment updates to configure.
commit 4d97574e477b3e55ddbb6044b0542a92cd9bab30
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 24 18:48:09 2018 -0500
Added object API example code.
Details:
- Added an 'examples' directory at the top level.
- Added an 'oapi' subdirectory in 'examples' that contains a tutorial-like
sequence of example code demostrating the core functionality of BLIS's
object-based API, along with a Makefile and README. Thanks to Victor
Eijkhout for being the first to suggest including such code in BLIS.
commit d6ab25a3232aa52b9b855088fb4b0b46ff2c00c8
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 24 18:43:03 2018 -0500
Add setijm, getijm operations.
Details:
- Added bli_setgetijm.c, which defines bli_setijm(), bli_getijm(), and
related functions that can be used to read and write individual
elements of an obj_t.
- Defined a new function, bli_obj_create_conf_to(), in bli_obj.c that will
create a new object with dimensions conformal to an existing object.
Transposition and conjugation states on the existing object are ignored,
as are structure and uplo fields.
- Defined a new function, bli_datatype_string(), in bli_obj.c that returns
a char* to a string representation of the name of each num_t datatype.
For example, BLIS_DOUBLE is "double" and BLIS_DCOMPLEX is "dcomplex".
BLIS_INT is included (as "int"), but BLIS_CONSTANT is not, and thus is
not a valid input argument to bli_datatype_string().
- Added calls to bli_init_once() to various functions in bli_obj.c, the
most important of which was bli_obj_create_without_buffer().
- Removed unintended/extra newline from the end of printv output.
- Whitespace changes to
- frame/base/bli_machval.c
- frame/base/bli_machval.h
- frame/0/copysc/bli_copysc.c
- Trivial changes to README.md and common.mk.

Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 17 14:16:59 2018 -0500
Added RELEASING file.
Details:
- Added a file named 'RELEASING' that contains basic notes on how to
create a new version/release of BLIS. This is mostly just a reminder
to myself, but also may become useful if/when others take over
development and administration of the project.
commit 24b3c3149ce66546b9a1afc2cc794a637a86aa60

commit 60366a3faba4e60cee85c3b87a3f69625f4b9026
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 16 18:46:21 2018 -0500
Updates to knl kernels and related code.
Details:
- Imported the 24x16 knl sgemm microkernel (and its corresonding spackm
kernel) from TBLIS and enabled its use in the knl sub-config. Also
Added sgemm microkernel prototype to bli_kernels_knl.h.
- Updated dgemm and dpackm microkernels from TBLIS, which included an
important change regarding the offsets array (changed from extern
declaration to static declaration/definition).
- Activated use of level-1v and -1f zen kernels in skx and knl
sub-configs.
- Removed some old macros no longer needed in bli_family_skx.h now that
libmemkind support exists in configure.
- Moved bli_avx512_macros.h to frame/include and adjusted #includes in
skx and knl kernels accordingly.
- Moved unused kernels in kernels/knl/3 to kernels/knl/3/other
directory.
- Fixed a minor bug in the 'make' output per compile when verboseness
is not turned on. The rule-generating function 'make-kernel-rule' was
previously passing in the name of the config, rather than the name of
the kernel set returned by get-config-for-kset, which could give
misleading information to the user when the kconfig_map mapped a
kernel set to a sub-configuration that did not share the same name.
(This didn't affect the CFLAGS that were actually used.)
- Updated test/3m4m/Makefile, removing acml targets and renaming the
remaining targets.

commit 67c9c2f86d5ef2accc439b21581d73d82754a2e3
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 16 14:03:12 2018 -0500
Retired haswell gemm microkernels.
Details:
- Moved microkernels in kernels/haswell/3 to kernels/haswell/3/old. These
microkernels were no longer being used and only sowed confusion to
anyone inspecting the repository without being fully cognizant of the
build system and how it works (and sometimes even to those who wrote
the build system). Note that the haswell configuration currently
employs the zen microkernels.
commit 2b7108a8ef8ce958b3acad028ff07c85ff97fd63
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 16 12:35:53 2018 -0500
Minor updates to test driver makefiles.
Details:
- Cleaned up and homogenized the various test driver Makefiles in
testsuite and test directories.
- Very minor updates to test driver code.
commit 9f56df95570a24587b910b169f342bd356ccbfb6
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Wed Apr 11 14:51:36 2018 -0500
Trivial tweaks to configure blacklisting output.
Details:
- Updated output of information vis-a-vis configuration blacklisting.
commit f56481efebd9a7785c0618f3a12c0bec36f46333
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 10 19:02:21 2018 -0500
Cleaned up assembler version query on OS X.
Details:
- Swiched from querying version of 'objdump' to 'as' (e.g. the
assembler).
- Fixed the outputting of the version of 'as' on OS X, which required
this beauty:
...=$(as -v /dev/null -o /dev/null 2>&1)
- Only add sub-configs to blacklist if the sub-config hasn't already
been added.
commit 088c474e629535affbe111f141f895af50d109be
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Tue Apr 10 18:09:56 2018 -0500
Added support for blacklisting via the assembler.
Details:
- Added logic to configure that attempts to assemble various small files
containing select instructions designed to reveal whether binutils
(specifically, the assembler) supports emitting those instruction sets.
This information provides additional opportunities to blacklist sub-
configurations that are unsupported by the environment. Thanks to Devin
Matthews for pointing me towards a similar solution in TBLIS as an
example.
- Various other cleanups in configure.
- Reorganized the detection code in the 'build' directory, bringing the
"auto-detect" configuration detection, libmemkind detection, and new
instruction set detection codes into a single new subdirectory named
'detect'.
commit 78a24e7dada52a3582f8488795bd1a44993989d9
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 9 17:02:13 2018 -0500
Updated bli_avx512_macros.h in knl and skx configs.
Details:
- Downloaded updated version of bli_avx512_macros.h from TBLIS [1] in
attempt to address issue #192.

commit 388f64d6ade14caa4a6c286845ad2d565378b2bb
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 9 15:33:10 2018 -0500
Fixed failure to honor CC= argument to configure.
Details:
- Fixed a failure to observe the value of CC when selecting the compiler
in configure. Thanks to Devangi Parikh for reporting this bug.
- The semantics now also work for the CC environment variable. That is,
if CC is set prior to running configure, that value is used, but will
be overridden by specifying the CC= argument to configure. If the CC
environment variable is not set, the CC= value is used. If neither the
environment variable nor CC= are specified, then the choice is made
internally to configure: first attempting to find gcc, then clang, and
then cc.
commit 45fbe66b3e2ab92f0b4fdf437d57c5d06603803d
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Mon Apr 9 14:01:08 2018 -0500
Fixed libmemkind dependency for x86_64.
Details:
- Removed some old conditional code in config/knl/make_defs.mk that
added -lmemkind to LDFLAGS if DEBUG_TYPE was not 'sde' and inserted
code into common.mk that affirmatively filters out -lmemkind from
LDFLAGS if DEBUG_TYPE is 'sde'. (Thanks to Dave Love for reporting
this issue.) Other minor cleanups to neighboring code in common.mk.
- Updated CRVECFLAGS in knl/make_defs.mk to be based on -march=knl,
and then AVX-512 functionality is manually removed via various
-mno-avx512* flags. Also, make the setting of CRVECFLAGS conditional
on CC_VENDOR. Similar change to skx/make_defs.mk.
- Comment/whitespace updates.
commit ca982148b3b419db063cad2fa74376ec383a5c80
Author: dnp <devangiparikh@gmail.com>
Date: Sun Apr 8 21:27:10 2018 -0500
Fixed bug in SKX sgemm microkernel. Modified SKX dgemm mircokernel to be consistent with the sgemm microkernel
commit bd0276752ccdd56ff897b1a5ae022f2ffe6e0b38
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 6 18:51:43 2018 -0500
Track separate ref kernel flags for each sub-config.
Details:
- Renamed CVECFLAGS variables in sub-configurations' make_defs.mk files
to CKVECFLAGS.
- Added default defintions of two new make variables to most sub-
configurations' make_defs.mk files--CROPTFLAGS and CRVECFLAGS--
which correspond to reference kernel analogues of the CKOPTFLAGS
and CKVECFLAGS, which track optimization and vectorization flags for
optimized kernels. Currently, two sub-configurations (knl and skx)
explicitly set CRVECFLAGS to non-default values (using AVX2 instead of
AVX-512 for reference kernels. Thanks to Jeff Hammond, whose feedback
prompted me to make this change (issue #187).
- Changed common.mk so that the get-refkern-cflags-for function returns
the flags associated with the given sub-configuration's CROPTFLAGS
and CRVECFLAGS (instead of CKOPTFLAGS and CKVECFLAGS).
commit b9aebce19480448817373e2df2b36bd090eae41a
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 6 18:37:33 2018 -0500
De-verbosify makefile fragment generation.
Details:
- Changed from -v1 to -v0 when calling gen-make-frag.sh from configure.
The directory-by-directory recursive output didn't add much value to
the user, so now we just echo a line for each top-level directory into
which we will recurse (e.g. 'config', 'ref_kernels', 'frame', etc.).
This also helps keep more interesting information (from earlier in the
execution of configure) from scrolling out of the terminal window.
commit b549b91f26948991e13364f1f26a878da0f43aa0
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Fri Apr 6 16:31:33 2018 -0500
Added 64-bit integer support to BLAS test drivers.
Details:
- Updated the build system and BLAS test drivers to use 64-bit integers
when BLIS is configured for 64-bit integers in the BLAS layer. Also
updated blastest/Makefile accordingly. Thanks to Dave Love for
reporting the need for this feature.
- Added a 'check' target to blastest/Makefile so that the user can see
a summary of the tests.
- Commented out the initial definition of INCLUDE_PATHS in common.mk,
which was used pre-monolithic header, back when BLIS needed paths to
*all* headers, rather than just a select few. This line is no longer
needed since the value of INCLUDE_PATHS is overwritten by a later
definition limited to only the header paths that are needed now.
commit d39fa1c04265869bdf8b6f453076359eec2f3c59
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Thu Apr 5 19:38:35 2018 -0500
Adjusted CFLAGS used to compile bli_cntx_ref.c.
Details:
- Removed CKOPTFLAGS and CVECFLAGS from the set of CFLAGS used to
compile bli_cntx_ref.c for each configuration. This is necessary
because the file defines functions like bli_cntx_init_skx_ref(),
which are called during BLIS's initialization of the global kernel
structure, potentially being executed by an architecture that lacks
the instruction set used to compile the kernels for, in this example,
skx, which would lead to an illegal instruction error. Thanks to
Dave Love for reporting this issue.
- Further adjusted CFLAGS used when compiling code in the 'config'
directory (e.g. bli_cntx_init_skx.c) as well as code in 'frame' so
as to avoid the aforementioned issue.
commit 08b123084d35680beab379012f8f5a5a8b44a443
Author: Field G. Van Zee <field@cs.utexas.edu>
Date: Thu Apr 5 14:25:39 2018 -0500
Added color-coding to 'make check' output.
Details:
- Added color coding to output of check-blistest.sh, check-blastest.sh
scripts. Success messages are coded green and failure are coded red.
This helps draw the eye toward those messages as the 'make checkblis',
'make checkblis-fast', and 'make checkblas' targets are executed.
- Changed top-level Makefile so that execution will not halt if
'checkblis', 'checkblis-fast', or 'checkblas' targets fail, which
means that the second of the two tests (BLIS and BLAS) run by
'make check' will run even if the first test fails.
