- AVX512 specific DGEMV native kernels are added for Zen4/5
architectures to handle the NO_TRANSPOSE cases and are independent of
the AXPYF fused kernels.
- The following set of kernels biased towards the n-dimension perform
beta scaling of y vector within the kernel itself and handle cases
where n is less than 5:
- bli_dgemv_n_zen_int_32x8n_avx512( ... )
- bli_dgemv_n_zen_int_32x4n_avx512( ... )
- bli_dgemv_n_zen_int_32x2n_avx512( ... )
- bli_dgemv_n_zen_int_32x1n_avx512( ... )
- The bli_dgemv_n_zen_int_16mx8_avx512( ... ) is biased towards the
m-dimension and for this kernel beta scaling is handled beforehand
within the framework.
- Added unit-tests for the new kernels.
- AVX2 path for Zen/2/3 architectures still follows the old approach of
using fused kernel, namely AXPYF, to perform the GEMV operation.

- Remove execute file permission from source and make files.
- dos2unix conversion.
- Add missing eol at end of files.
Also update .gitignore to not exclude build directory but to
exclude any build_* created by cmake builds.

Details:
- Implemented a new feature called addons, which are similar to
sandboxes except that there is no requirement to define gemm or any
other particular operation.
- Updated configure to accept --enable-addon=<name> or -a <name> syntax
for requesting an addon be included within a BLIS build. configure now
outputs the list of enabled addons into config.mk. It also outputs the
corresponding #include directives for the addons' headers to a new
companion to the bli_config.h header file named bli_addon.h. Because
addons may wish to make use of existing BLIS types within their own
definitions, the addons' headers must be included sometime after that
of bli_config.h (which currently is #included before bli_type_defs.h).
This is why the #include directives needed to go into a new top-level
header file rather than the existing bli_config.h file.
- Added a markdown document, docs/Addons.md, to explain addons, how to
build with them, and what assumptions their authors should keep in
mind as they create them.
- Added a gemmlike-like implementation of sandwich gemm called 'gemmd'
as an addon in addon/gemmd. The code uses a 'bao_' prefix for local
functions, including the user-level object and typed APIs.
- Updated .gitignore so that git ignores bli_addon.h files.

- AOCL Dynamic feature is added in BLIS which determines optimal
number of threads for the current problem size.
- This feature can be enabled/disabled by modifying the source
code
- This change adds support to enable/disable this feature during
configuration time by adding a new option in configure script

Details:
- Fixed a linker error that occurred when attempting to compile and link
the testsuite and/or BLAS test drivers after having configured BLIS to
only generate a shared library (no static library). The chosen
solution involved
(1) adding the local library path, $(BASE_LIB_PATH), to the search
paths for the shared library via the link option
-Wl,-rpath,$(BASE_LIB_PATH).
(2) adding a local symlink to $(BASE_LIB_PATH) that uses the .so major
version number so that ld would find the shared library at
execution time.
Thanks to Sajid Ali for reporting this issue, to Devin Matthews for
pointing out the need for the -rpath option, and to Devangi Parikh for
helping Sajid isolate the problem.
- Added #include <ctype.h> to bli_system.h to avoid a compiler warning
resulting from using toupper() from bli_string.c without a prototype.
Thanks again to Sajid Ali, whose build log revealed this compiler
warning.
- Added '*.so.*' to .gitignore.
- CREDITS file update.
Details:
- Rewrote monolithify-header.sh (and renamed to flatten-header.sh) so that
headers are inserted recursively. This improves performance by a factor
of 3-4x.
- Modified configure to create an 'include/<configname>' directory in which
make can create a monolithic header.
- Modified the top-level Makefile so that a monolithic header is generated
unconditionally prior to compilation (stored in include/<configname>) and
so that the single header is installed instead of the 450 or so header
files that reside throughout the framework source tree.
- Added "include/*/*.h" to .gitignore file.
- Removed some pnacl/emscripten leftovers that I intended to include in
a1caeba (mostly in testsuite/Makefile).
- Trivial comment changes to frame/include/bli_f2c.h.
Details:
- Commented out several datatype-aware query functions (those ending in
_dt) from bli_cntx.c, as well as their prototypes in bli_cntx.h, and
added equivalent cpp query macros to bli_cntx.h.
- Added 'bli_config.h' to .gitignore.
Details:
- Replaced multi-type invocations of copys_mxn, xpbys_mxn, etc. (PASTEMAC2
and PASTEMAC3) with those that only use a single type (PASTEMAC).
- Added extra macros to bli_adds_mxn_uplo.h and bli_xpbys_mxn_uplo.h to
accommodate above change.
- Fixed comment typo in bli_config.h files.
- Added .nfs* pattern to .gitignore.
Details:
- Removed 'obj' and 'lib' from .gitignore.
- Added testsuite/obj/.gitkeep (which is an empty file).
- Updated testsuite/Makefile accordingly.
- Thanks to Vernon Austel for pointing out the .gitkeep trick to tracking
empty directories in git.
Details:
- Added "version" to .gitignore file so that the file does not show up when
running 'git status', or accidentally get pulled into the index when
running 'git add' or 'git add --all'.
Details:
- Added 10xk, 12xk, 14xk, and 16xk reference kernels for packm and
unpackm.
- Updated bl2_[un]packm_cxk() to silently use scal2m if "out of range"
kernel size is requested. (Thanks to Tyler for finding this bug.)
- Updated bl2_kernel.h to contain new _KERNEL definitions, according
to above changes, for 'reference' and 'clarksville' configurations.
- Updated CHANGELOG.
- Removed "output*.m" from .gitignore.
Details:
- Added/renamed packm, unpackm kernels.
- Added machine value routines.
- Added param_map facility.
- Renamed AUTHORS to CREDITS.
- Added Makefile; continued to expand upon existing configure script.
- #define fuse_fac macros in operation headers if not defined already
(by the user in bl2_kernels.h).
