Details:
- Moved edge-case handling into the gemmtrsm microkernel. This required
changing the microkernel API to take m and n dimension parameters as
well as updating all existing gemmtrsm microkernel function pointer
types, function signatures, and related definitions to take m and n
dimensions. Also updated all existing gemmtrsm kernels in the
'kernels' directory (which for now is limited to haswell and penryn
kernel sets, plus native and 1m-based reference kernels in
'ref_kernels') to take m and n dimensions, and implemented edge-case
handling within those microkernels via a collection of new C
preprocessor macros defined within bli_edge_case_macro_defs.h. Note
that the edge-case handling for gemm-like operations had already
been relocated into the gemm microkernel in 54fa28b.
- Added desriptive comments to GEMM_UKR_SETUP_CT() and related macros in
bli_edge_case_macro_defs.h to allow for easier reading.
- Updated docs/KernelsHowTo.md to reflect above changes. Also cleaned up
the bullet under "Implementation Notes for gemm" that covers alignment
issues. (Thanks to Ivan Korostelev for pointing out the confusing and
outdated language in issue #591.)
- Other minor tweaks to KernelsHowTo.md.
Details:
- Textually replaced nearly all non-comment instances of bool_t with the
C99 bool type. A few remaining instances, such as those in the files
bli_herk_x_ker_var2.c, bli_trmm_xx_ker_var2.c, and
bli_trsm_xx_ker_var2.c, were promoted to dim_t since they were being
used not for boolean purposes but to index into an array.
- This commit constitutes the third phase of a transition toward using
C99's bool instead of bool_t, which was raised in issue #420. The first
phase, which cleaned up various typecasts in preparation for using
bool as the basis for bool_t (instead of gint_t), was implemented by
commit a69a4d7. The second phase, which redefined the bool_t typedef
in terms of bool (from gint_t), was implemented by commit 2c554c2.
Details:
- Changed all occurrances of
micro-kernel -> microkernel
macro-kernel -> macrokernel
micro-panel -> micropanel
in all markdown documents in 'docs' directory. This change is being
made since we've reached the point in adoption and acceptance of
BLIS's insights where words such as "microkernel" are no longer new,
and therefore now merit being unhyphenated.
- Updated "Implementation Notes" sections of KernelsHowTo.md, which
still contained references to nonexistent cpp macros such as
BLIS_DEFAULT_MR_? and BLIS_PACKDIM_MR_?.
- Added 'run-fast' and 'check-fast' targets to testsuite/Makefile.
- Minor updates to Testsuite.md, including suggesting use of
'make check' and 'make check-fast' when running from the local
testsuite directory.
- Added a comment to top-level Makefile explaining the purpose behind
the TESTSUITE_WRAPPER variable, which at first glance appears to serve
no purpose.
Details:
- Added first draft of BLISObjectAPI.md. (Object management section is
still missing.)
- Small fixes to BLISTypedAPI.md found while writing BLISObjectAPI.md.
- In various .md files, changed ``` verbatim blocks to language
attributes (e.g. ```c for C code).
Details:
- Minor updates to BLISTypedAPI.md, mostly to bring terminology
up-to-date with the new "typed API" classification.
- Added contents section to KernelsHowTo.md.
Details:
- Added missing level-1v operations to BLISTypedAPI (e.g. axpbyv,
xpbyv).
- Updated broken linkes in KernelsHowTo.md based on misnamed anchors.
- Other minor changes.
Details:
- Within the documents in docs/*.md, reverted links to other local
documents to relative paths.
- Fixed some links/documents that did not yet have the '.md' suffix.
- Testing whether we can use relative links ('docs/BLISTypedAPI.md')
from within README.md.
Details:
- Updated most markdown links in the documents/wikis to use absolute
paths instead of the relative paths that were in use previously.
A few links were not updated, except for adding a ".md" to reflect
the documents' new names, in order to test whether relative
linking still works.
Details:
- Exported all github wikis to a new 'docs' directory.
- Renamed 'BLISAPIQuickReference' wiki to 'BLISTypedAPI' and removed
all cntx_t* arguments from the (now non-expert) APIs (with the
exception of the kernel APIs).
- Added section to BuildSystem documenting new ARG_MAX hack.
