Details:
- Adjusted the method by which micropanels are assigned to threads in
the 2nd (jr) and 1st (ir) loops around the microkernel to (mostly)
employ contiguous "slab" partitioning rather than interleaved (round
robin) partitioning. The new partitioning schemes and related details
for specific families of operations are listed below:
- gemm: slab partitioning.
- herk: slab partitioning for region corresponding to non-triangular
region of C; round robin partitioning for triangular region.
- trmm: slab partitioning for region corresponding to non-triangular
region of B; round robin partitioning for triangular region.
(NOTE: This affects both left- and right-side macrokernels:
trmm_ll, trmm_lu, trmm_rl, trmm_ru.)
- trsm: slab partitioning.
(NOTE: This only affects only left-side macrokernels trsm_ll,
trsm_lu; right-side macrokernels were not touched.)
Also note that the previous macrokernels were preserved inside of
the 'other' directory of each operation family directory (e.g.
frame/3/gemm/other, frame/3/herk/other, etc).
- Updated gemm macrokernel in sandbox/ref99 in light of above changes
and fixed a stale function pointer type in blx_gemm_int.c
(gemm_voft -> gemm_var_oft).
- Added standalone test drivers in test/3m4m for herk, trmm, and trsm
and minor changes to test/3m4m/Makefile.
- Updated the arguments and definitions of bli_*_get_next_[ab]_upanel()
and bli_trmm_?_?r_my_iter() macros defined in bli_l3_thrinfo.h.
- Renamed bli_thread_get_range*() APIs to bli_thread_range*().

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:
- Updated copyright headers to include "at Austin" in the name of the
University of Texas.
- Updated the copyright years of a few headers to 2014 (from 2011 and
2012).
Details:
- Removed BLIS_CONTIG_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE from bli_config.h of all
configurations. It was already going unused in packm_init() since the
recent 4m/3m commit. This setting was rarely, if ever, useful, and its
existence only posed a potential risk for 4m/3m-based implementations.
- Removed BLIS_CONTIG_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE usage from mem_pool_macro_defs.h.
- Updated comments regarding CONTIG_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE in template
micro-kernels.
Details:
- Standard names for reference kernels (levels-1v, -1f and 3) are now
macro constants. Examples:
BLIS_SAXPYV_KERNEL_REF
BLIS_DDOTXF_KERNEL_REF
BLIS_ZGEMM_UKERNEL_REF
- Developers no longer have to name all datatype instances of a kernel
with a common base name; [sdcz] datatype flavors of each kernel or
micro-kernel (level-1v, -1f, or 3) may now be named independently.
This means you can now, if you wish, encode the datatype-specific
register blocksizes in the name of the micro-kernel functions.
- Any datatype instances of any kernel (1v, 1f, or 3) that is left
undefined in bli_kernel.h will default to the corresponding reference
implementation. For example, if BLIS_DGEMM_UKERNEL is left undefined,
it will be defined to be BLIS_DGEMM_UKERNEL_REF.
- Developers no longer need to name level-1v/-1f kernels with multiple
datatype chars to match the number of types the kernel WOULD take in
a mixed type environment, as in bli_dddaxpyv_opt(). Now, one char is
sufficient, as in bli_daxpyv_opt().
- There is no longer a need to define an obj_t wrapper to go along with
your level-1v/-1f kernels. The framework now prvides a _kernel()
function which serves as the obj_t wrapper for whatever kernels are
specified (or defaulted to) via bli_kernel.h
- Developers no longer need to prototype their kernels, and thus no
longer need to include any prototyping headers from within
bli_kernel.h. The framework now generates kernel prototypes, with the
proper type signature, based on the kernel names defined (or defaulted
to) via bli_kernel.h.
- If the complex datatype x (of [cz]) implementation of the gemm micro-
kernel is left undefined by bli_kernel.h, but its same-precision real
domain equivalent IS defined, BLIS will use a 4m-based implementation
for the datatype x implementations of all level-3 operations, using
only the real gemm micro-kernel.
Details:
- Removed support for duplication from the gemmtrsm/trsm micro-kernels
and all framework code.
- Updated test suite modules according to above changes.
Details:
- Updated level-1f kernels for x86_64 and bgq to use renamed fusing factor
macros. Meant to include this in 5e54f46c. Thanks to Fran for pointing
this out.
Details:
- Added a new cpp macro in bli_config.h, BLIS_INT_TYPE_SIZE, which can be
assigned values of 32, 64, or some other value. The former two result in
defining gint_t/guint_t in terms of 32- or 64-bit integers, while the latter
causes integers to be defined in terms of a default type (e.g. long int).
- Updated bli_config.h in reference and clarksville configurations according
to above changes.
- Updated test drivers in test and testsuite to avoid type warnings associated
with format specifiers not matching the types of their arguments to printf()
and scanf().
- Inserted missing #include "bli_system.h" into blis.h (which was slated for
inclusion in d141f9eeb6).
- Added explicit typecasting of dim_t and inc_t to macros in
bli_blas_macro_defs.h (which are used in BLAS compatibility layer).
- Slight changes to CREDITS and INSTALL files.
- Slight tweaks to Windows build system, mostly in the form of switching to
Windows-style CRLF newlines for certain files.
Details:
- Commented out a !include statement that was attempting to include a
version file that does not yet exist. For now, the version string is
hard-coded into defs.mk.
Details:
- Added a 'windows' directory, which contains a Windows build system
similar to that of libflame's. Thanks to Martin for getting this up
and running.
- Spun off system header #includes into bli_system.h, which is included
in blis.h
- Added a Windows section to bli_clock.c (similar to libflame's).
