Details:
- Fixed a couple of bugs that affected OpenMP and POSIX threads
configurations that resulted in compiler errors and warnings due
to type mismatch, and in the case of pthreads, a missing function
argument. The bugs are fairly recent, introduced in a017062.
Details:
- Relaxed the base pointer and leading dimension alignment restrictions
in the sandybridge gemm microkernels, allowing the use of vmovups/vmovupd
instead of vmovaps/vmovapd. These change mimic those made to the haswell
microkernels in e0d2fa0 and ee2c139.
- Updated testsuite modules as well as standalone test drivers in 'test'
directory to use DBL_MAX as the initial time candidate. Thanks to Devin
Matthews for suggesting this change.
- Inserted #include "float.h" into bli_system.h (to gain access to DBL_MAX).
- Minor update (vis-a-vis contexts) to driver code in test/3m4m.
Details:
- Integrated a patch originally authored and submitted by Ricardo Magana
of HP Enterprise. The changeset inserts use of a new object type, membrk_t,
(memory broker) that allows multiple sets of memory pools on, for example,
separate NUMA nodes, each of which has a separate memory space.
- Added membrk field to cntx_t and defined corresponding accessor macros.
- Added membrk field to mem_t object and defined corresponding accessor macros.
- Created new bli_membrk.c file, which contains the new memory broker API,
including:
bli_membrk_init(), bli_membrk_finalize()
bli_membrk_acquire_[mv](), bli_membrk_release(),
bli_membrk_init_pools(), bli_membrk_reinit_pools(),
bli_membrk_finalize_pools(),
bli_membrk_pool_size()
- In bli_mem.c, changed function calls to
bli_mem_init_pools() -> bli_membrk_init()
bli_mem_reinit_pools() -> bli_membrk_reinit()
bli_mem_finalize_pools() -> bli_membrk_finalize()
- In bli_packv_init.c, bli_packm_init.c, changed function calls to:
bli_mem_acquire_[mv]() -> bli_membrk_acquire_[mv]()
bli_mem_release() -> bli_membrk_release()
- Added bli_mutex.c and related files to frame/thread. These files define
abstract mutexes (locks) and corresponding APIs for pthreads, openmp, or
single-threaded execution. This new API is employed within functions
such as bli_membrk_acquire_[mv]() and bli_membrk_release().
