8310b2d5d3 Optimize bli_arch_query_id and related functions
bli_arch_query_id() is used to select kernels in optimized BLAS APIs. Previous
implementation incurred the overhead of multiple function calls. This has
been reduced by:
- Changing the function to be defined in a header file so it can be inlined.
- Avoiding call to bli_arch_check_id_once that was a wrapper for a call to
  bli_pthread_once. Instead bli_pthread_once is called directly.
- For builds with a single BLIS sub-configuration, correct arch_id is taken
  directly from a header file in the corresponding config subdirectory,
  avoiding the bli_pthread_once call and making the value explicit at
  compile time, which may enable additional optimizations.

To enable these changes, the variables arch_id and model_id defined in
frame/base/bli_arch.c are no longer static, as they must be accessed in multiple
files (i.e. they are now global variables). Rename to g_arch_id and g_model_id
to distinguish from any locally defined arch_id or model_id variables.

6548cebaf5 Allow clang for ThunderX2 config
Needed for compiling on e.g. Mac M1. AFAIK clang supports the same -mcpu flag for ThunderX2 as gcc.

7d41128219 Use -O2 for all framework code. (#435)
It seems that -O3 might be causing intermittent problems with the f2c'ed packed and banded code. -O3 is retained for kernel code. Fixes #341 and fixes #342.

9c5b485d35 Don't override -mcpu with -march on ARM (#353)
* Use -mcpu for ARM
See the GCC doc about -march, -mtune, and -mpu and maybe
https://community.arm.com/developer/tools-software/tools/b/tools-software-ides-blog/posts/compiler-flags-across-architectures-march-mtune-and-mcpu

* Fix typo in flags

* Fix typo in cortexa9 flags

* Modify cortexa53 compilation flags to fix failing BLAS check (#341)

138d403b6b Use -funsafe-math-optimizations and -ffp-contract=fast for all reference kernels when using gcc or clang. (#331) 2019-08-26 18:11:27 -05:00

dfc91843ea Fixed gcc flags for thunderx2 subconfiguration
Details:
- Fixed -march flag. Thunderx2 is an armv8.1a architecture not armv8a.

adf5c17f08 Formally registered thunderx2 subconfiguration.
Details:
- Added a separate subconfiguration for thunderx2, which now uses
  different optimization flags than cortexa57/cortexa53.
