From f6424b5b82160d346a09a0fbb526981ecf66cdb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Field G. Van Zee" Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2021 13:08:06 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Added dedicated Performance section to README.md. Details: - Spun off the Performance.md and PerformanceSmall.md links in the Documentation section into a new Performance section dedicated to those two links. (The previous entries remain redundantly listed within Documentation section.) Thanks to Robert van de Geijn for suggesting this change. --- README.md | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 19 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 28179306c..3dbaca683 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -13,6 +13,7 @@ Contents * **[Key Features](#key-features)** * **[How to Download BLIS](#how-to-download-blis)** * **[Getting Started](#getting-started)** +* **[Perforamnce](#performance)** * **[Documentation](#documentation)** * **[External Packages](#external-packages)** * **[Discussion](#discussion)** @@ -393,6 +394,24 @@ If/when you have time, we *strongly* encourage you to read the detailed walkthrough of the build system found in our [Build System](docs/BuildSystem.md) guide. +Performance +----------- + +We provide graphs that report performance of several implementations across a +range of hardware types, multithreading configurations, problem sizes, +operations, and datatypes.
