Details:
- Removed four trailing spaces after "BLIS" that occurs in most files'
commented-out license headers.
- Added UT copyright lines to some files. (These files previously had
only AMD copyright lines but were contributed to by both UT and AMD.)
- In some files' copyright lines, expanded 'The University of Texas' to
'The University of Texas at Austin'.
- Fixed various typos/misspellings in some license headers.
Details:
- Removed the dtime (delta time, or wallclock time) column from the
matlab output of all test drivers in test, test/3m4m, test/studies.
This value was rarely (if ever) really needed and usually only served
to take up screen space.
- Updated format specifier in test/studies/skx to use %7.2f instead of
%6.3f.
- For the test drivers in 'test' directory, added an initial line of
output that sets last entry of matlab matrix to zero in order to
induce a pre-allocation of the entire array of performance results.
Details:
- Converted most C preprocessor macros in bli_param_macro_defs.h and
bli_obj_macro_defs.h to static functions.
- Reshuffled some functions/macros to bli_misc_macro_defs.h and also
between bli_param_macro_defs.h and bli_obj_macro_defs.h.
- Changed obj_t-initializing macros in bli_type_defs.h to static
functions.
- Removed some old references to BLIS_TWO and BLIS_MINUS_TWO from
bli_constants.h.
- Whitespace changes in select files (four spaces to single tab).
Details:
- Merged contributions made by AMD via 'amd' branch (see summary below).
Special thanks to AMD for their contributions to-date, especially with
regard to intrinsic- and assembly-based kernels.
- Added column storage output cases to microkernels in
bli_gemm_zen_asm_d6x8.c and bli_gemmtrsm_l_zen_asm_d6x8.c. Even with
the extra cost of transposing the microtile in registers, this is
much faster than using the general storage case when the underlying
matrix is column-stored.
- Added s and d assembly-based zen gemmtrsm_u microkernel (including
column storage optimization mentioned above).
- Updated zen sub-configuration to reflect presence of new native
kernels.
- Temporarily reverted zen sub-configuration's level-3 cache blocksizes
to smaller haswell values.
- Temporarily disabled small matrix handling for zen configuration
family in config/zen/bli_family_zen.h.
- Updated zen CFLAGS according to changes in 1e4365b.
- Updated haswell microkernels such that:
- only one vzeroupper instruction is called prior to returning
- movapd/movupd are used in leiu of movaps/movups for double-real
microkernels. (Note that single-real microkernels still use
movaps/movups.)
- Added kernel prototypes to kernels/zen/bli_kernels_zen.h, which is
now included via frame/include/bli_arch_config.h.
- Minor updates to bli_amaxv_ref.c (and to inlined "test" implementation
in testsuite/src/test_amaxv.c).
- Added early return for alpha == 0 in bli_dotxv_ref.c.
- Integrated changes from f07b176, including a fix for undefined
behavior when executing the 1m method under certain conditions.
- Updated config_registry; no longer need haswell kernels for zen
sub-configuration.
- Tweaked marginal and pass thresholds for dotxf.
- Reformatted level-1v, -1f, and -3 amd kernels and inserted additional
comments.
- Updated LICENSE file to explicitly mention that parts are copyright
UT-Austin and AMD.
- Added AMD copyright to header templates in build/templates.
Summary of previous changes from 'amd' branch.
- Added s and d assembly-based zen gemm microkernels (d6x8 and d8x6) and
s and d assembly-based zen gemmtrsm_l microkernels (d6x8).
- Added s and d intrinsics-based zen kernels for amaxv, axpyv, dotv, dotxv,
and scalv, with extra-unrolling variants for axpyv and scalv.
- Added a small matrix handler to bli_gemm_front(), with the handler
implemented in kernels/zen/3/bli_gemm_small_matrix.c.
- Added additional logic to sumsqv that first attempts to compute the
sum of the squares via dotv(). If there is a floating-point exception
(FE_OVERFLOW), then the previous (numerically conservative) code is
used; otherwise, the result of dotv() is square-rooted and stored as
the result. This new implementation is only enabled when FE_OVERFLOW
is #defined. If the macro is not #defined, then the previous
implementation is used.
- Added axpyv and dotv standalone test drivers to test directory.
- Added zen support to old cpuid_x86.c driver in build/auto-detect/old.
- Added thread-local and __attribute__-related macros to bli_macro_defs.h.
