-- AOCL libraries are used for lengthy computations which can go
on for hours or days, once the operation is started, the user
doesn’t get any update on current state of the computation.
This (AOCL progress) feature enables user to receive a periodic
update from the libraries.
-- User registers a callback with the library if it is interested
in receiving the periodic update.
-- The library invokes this callback periodically with information
about current state of the operation.
-- The update frequency is statically set in the code, it can be
modified as needed if the library is built from source.
-- These feature is supported for GEMM and TRSM operations.
-- Added example for GEMM and TRSM.
-- Cleaned up and reformatted test_gemm.c and test_trsm.c to
remove warnings and making indentation consistent across the
file.

- Added blas interface for dzgemm. This function will call
native implementation of gemm.
- Mixed datatype support is already present in BLIS. But this
implementation requires alpha_imag value to be 0.
- Modified test_gemm.c to support testing of dzgemm.

When library is built as single thread and trace is enabled, the test
applications in test folder fail to compile. In the file aoclos.c the function
AOCL_gettid() uses "omp_get_thread_num() to get thread_id, which is only
enabled when OpenMP based parallel BLIS library is generated. To fix this in
single thread case we now return zero for thread id, openmp function is used
only when BLIS_ENABLE_OPENMP macro is defined. However this is not a complete
fix. If library is built with pthread, AOCL_gettid() always return 0, which is
not the intended behaviour.

Fixed AOCL DTL logs printing incorrect alpha and beta values for single
precision. Added missing info like data-types, lower or upper traingular and
Side parameter in the case of TRSM.
Code cleanup and formatting the files test_cabs1.c, test_axpbyv.c and
test_gemm.c. In dumping trsm parameters replaced 'side' with bli_is_right(side).

Details:
- Updated test driver source in test, test/3, test/1m4m, and
test/mixeddt to iterate through the problem space backwards. This
can help avoid certain situations where the CPU frequency does not
immediately throttle up to its maximum. Thanks to Robert van de
Geijn for recommending this fix (originally made to test/sup drivers
in 57e422a).
- Applied off-by-one matlab output bugfix from b6017e5 to test drivers
in test, test/3, test/1m4m, and test/mixeddt directories.
config/zen/bli_family_zen.h: deleted macro BLIS_ENBLE_ZEN_BLOCK_SIZES
config/zen/make_defs.mk: removed compiler flag -mno-avx256-split-unaligned-store
frame/base/bli_cpuid.c: ROME family is 17H but model # is from 0x30H.
test/test_gemm.c - commented out #define FILE_IN_OUT (some compilation error when BLIS is configured as amd64)
Now we can use single configuration has ./configure amd64 - this will work both for ROME & Naples
Change-Id: I91b4fc35380f8a35b4f4c345da040c6b5910b4a2
A Macro 'FILE_IN_OUT" is defined to read input parameters from a csv file.
Format for input file:
Each line defines a gemm problem with following parameters: m k n cs_a cs_b cs_c
The operation always implemented is C = C - A*B and column-major format.
When macro is disabled - it reverts back to original implementation.
Usage: ./test_gemm_<mkl/blis/openblas>.x input.csv output.csv
GEMM is called through BLAS interface
For BLIS - the test application also prints either 'S' indicating small gemm routine or 'N' - conventional BLIS gemm
for MKL/OpenBLAS - ignore this character

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:
- Defined two new functions in bli_init.c: bli_init_once() and
bli_finalize_once(). Each is implemented with pthread_once(), which
guarantees that, among the threads that pass in the same pthread_once_t
data structure, exactly one thread will execute a user-defined function.
(Thus, there is now a runtime dependency against libpthread even when
multithreading is not enabled at configure-time.)
- Added calls to bli_init_once() to top-level user APIs for all
computational operations as well as many other functions in BLIS to
all but guarantee that BLIS will self-initialize through the normal
use of its functions.
- Rewrote and simplified bli_init() and bli_finalize() and related
functions.
- Added -lpthread to LDFLAGS in common.mk.
- Modified the bli_init_auto()/_finalize_auto() functions used by the
BLAS compatibility layer to take and return no arguments. (The
previous API that tracked whether BLIS was initialized, and then
only finalized if it was initialized in the same function, was too
cute by half and borderline useless because by default BLIS stays
initialized when auto-initialized via the compatibility layer.)
- Removed static variables that track initialization of the sub-APIs in
bli_const.c, bli_error.c, bli_init.c, bli_memsys.c, bli_thread, and
bli_ind.c. We don't need to track initialization at the sub-API level,
especially now that BLIS can self-initialize.
- Added a critical section around the changing of the error checking
level in bli_error.c.
- Deprecated bli_ind_oper_has_avail() as well as all functions
bli_<opname>_ind_get_avail(), where <opname> is a level-3 operation
name. These functions had no use cases within BLIS and likely none
outside of BLIS.
- Commented out calls to bli_init() and bli_finalize() in testsuite's
main() function, and likewise for standalone test drivers in 'test'
directory, so that self-initialization is exercised by default.
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:
- 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:
- Added the ability to induce complex domain level-3 operations via new
virtual complex micro-kernels which are implemented via only real
domain micro-kernels. Two new implementations are provided: 4m and 3m.
4m implements complex matrix multiplication in terms of four real
matrix multiplications, where as 3m uses only three and thus is
capable of even higher (than peak) performance. However, the 3m method
has somewhat weaker numerical properties, making it less desirable
in general.
- Further refined packing routines, which were recently revamped, and
added packing functionality for 4m and 3m.
- Some modifications to trmm and trsm macro-kernels to facilitate indexing
into micro-panels which were packed for 4m/3m virtual kernels.
- Added 4m and 3m interfaces for each level-3 operation.
- Various other minor changes to facilitate 4m/3m methods.
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:
- Changed the BLIS_HEAP_STRIDE_ALIGN_SIZE in the configurations from 16 to
BLIS_CACHE_LINE_SIZE (typically 64).
- Changed the use of nr in sizing of bd buffer to packnr in level-3 macro-
kernels.
- Reformulated gemm_ker_var2 to look more like the other level-3 macro-
kernels, in that the interior and edge-case handling is expressed once
inside the loops in the n and m dimensions, rather than the edge-case
handling being "unrolled" and expressed as distinct code regions. The
previous macro-kernel now lives in retired form in the subdirectory
other/bli_gemm_ker_var2.c.old.
- Updated experimental gemm_ker_var5 according to above change.
- Fixed bug in bli_her2k.c whereby incorrect transformations were being
applied to optimize the macro-kernel accesses pattern on C when C is
row-stored.
- Various updates inside of test/exec_sizes.
Details:
- Added frame/compat/check directory, which now houses companion _check()
routines for each of the BLAS wrappers in frame/compat. These _check()
routines are called from the compatibility wrappers and mimic the
error-checking present in the netlib BLAS.
- Edited bla_xerbla.c so that xerbla() translates the operation string to
uppercase before printing.
- Redefined util routines in frame/compat/f2c/util in terms of level0
macros.
- Added prototypes for util routines, f2c routines, lsame(), and xerbla().
- Commented out prototypes in test/test_*.c since Fortran integers are now
int64_t by default (and the prototypes that were present in the files
used int).
- Removed redundant #include "bli_f2c.h" in bli_?lamch.c and bli_lsame.c,
since blis.h was already being included.
- Other minor changes to code in frame/compat/f2c.
Details:
- Updated level-1/-1f kernels so that non-unit and un-aligned cases are
handled by reference implementation (rather than aborted).
- Added -fomit-frame-pointer to default make_defs.mk for clarksville
configuration.
- Defined bli_offset_from_alignment() macro.
- Minor edits to old test drivers.
Details:
- Tweaked micro-kernels and configuration for clarksville.
- Updated/cleaned up old test drivers in test directory.
- Fixed syntax bug in trsv_unb_var1 and trsv_unf_var1 (introduced
recently).
Details:
- Made substantial changes throughout the framework to decouple the leading
dimension (row or column stride) used within each packed micro-panel from
the corresponding register blocksize. It appears advantageous on some
systems to use, for example, packed micro-panels of A where the column
stride is greater than MR (whereas previously it was always equal to MR).
- Changes include:
- Added BLIS_EXTEND_[MNK]R_? macros, which specify how much extra padding
to use when packing micro-panels of A and B.
- Adjusted all packing routines and macro-kernels to use PACKMR and PACKNR
where appropriate, instead of MR and NR.
- Added pd field (panel dimension) to obj_t.
- New interface to bli_packm_cntl_obj_create().
- Renamed bli_obj_packed_length()/_width() macros to
bli_obj_padded_length()/_width().
- Removed local #defines for cache/register blocksizes in level-3 *_cntl.c.
- Print out new cache and register blocksize extensions in test suite.
- Also added new BLIS_EXTEND_[MNK]C_? macros for future use in using a larger
blocksize for edge cases, which can improve performance at the margins.
Details:
- Changed old level-3 test drivers, in 'test' directory, to always call the
front-end object API instead of the internal back-end with the locally
defined control tree.
Details:
- Fixed a bug in reference implementation of dupl (bli_dupl_unb_var1.c),
which resulted in incorrect duplication.
- Updated old test drivers according to recently updated packm control tree
creation interface.
- Added 'restrict' to x86 gemm microkernel interface.
Details:
- Changed all filename and function prefixes from 'bl2' to 'bli'.
- Changed the "blis2.h" header filename to "blis.h" and changed all
corresponding #include statements accordingly.
- Fixed incorrect association for Fran in CREDITS file.
Details:
- Added a highly configurable, unified test suite.
- Removed DUPB configuration constant from bl2_kernel.h and macro-kernel
header files. Now, instead, DUPB is computed as (NDUP != 1) within each
macro-kernel. This fixes a bug in trmm/trsm whereby bp was indexed into
incorrectly when DUPB was set to FALSE but the NDUP was still non-unit.
By encoding both pieces of information into one constant in _kernel.h,
it seems somewhat less likely others will encounter this bug in the
future.
- Added level-2 cache blocksizes to _kernel.h for reference configuration,
and defined blocksizes in _cntl.c files to these default values.
- Changed semantics of her2k and syr2k such that these operations no longer
expect the B matrix to already be conjugate-transposed (or just transposed
for syr2k). However, these semantics are preserved for the internal
mechanics of the implementations, including the internal back-end and all
blocked variants.
- Inserted checks for real-valued alpha and beta for herk/her2k and herk,
respectively.
- Relaxed general object structure constraints in _basic_check() for gemv, ger.
- Changed her front-end to NOT copy-cast to real projection; instead, this is
replaced by selecting either the real part or both parts within the unblocked
algorithm implementation, depending on the value of conjh.
- Added conjh to all _check routines for her so that the code knows when to
verify that alpha has an imaginary component equal to zero (for her, but
not syr).
- Changed control tree for her to forgo packing.
- Added unit diagonal support to fnormm.
- Redefined real versions of abval2s macros in terms of fabs(), fabsf().
- Redefined complex versions of sqrt2s macros using the actual "complex square
root" formula.
- Created new level-0 object-based routines, suffixed with "sc" (for "scalar").
- Defined new level-1v, -1d, and -1m versions of add and sub operations
(two-operand add and subtract).
- Added new scalar macros:
- getris: acquire real and imaginary components.
- setris: set real and imaginary components.
- addjs: addition with conjugated x.
- subjs: subtraction with conjugated x.
- Defined new utility operations:
- absumv: element-wise sum of absolute values for vector elements.
- absumm: element-wise sum of absolute values for matrix elements.
- mkherm: convert existing matrix to Hermitian.
- mksymm: convert existing matrix to symmetric.
- mktrim: convert existing matrix to triangular.
- Added various error checking routines.
- Added bl2_clock_min_diff(), which is used to more cleanly measure the
wall clock time of a code block.
- Added general stride support to bl2_obj_alloc_buffer().
- Added bl2_obj_init_scalar().
- Updated parameter mapping in bl2_param_map.c.
- Added support for queriable version string.
- Fixed a bug in the her2k macro-kernels (which currently are simply
implemented in terms of two invocations of herk) whereby beta was being
applied to both the first and second rank-k updates, rather than only
the first.
- Fixed a bug in trmm/trsm whereby transpose and right side cases were not
properly implemented due to erroneous assumptions regarding aliasing and
root objects.
- Fixed a bug in the upper triangular trsm macro-kernel in which the wrong
MR x NR block of B was being updated.
- Fixed a bug in the inverts macro in the double real case whereby the
value was typecast to float before inversion. This affected non-unit cases
of dtrsm.
- Fixed a bug in the reference kernels for gemmtrsm whereby the minus one
constant was being applied incorrectly.
- Fixed a bug in the overall treatment of non-unit alpha for trsm. The code
now mimics the rank-k strategy of gemm, whereby alpah is applied during
the first iteration of variant 3, with BLIS_ONE passed in instead for
subsequent iterations. This also required passing alpha into the macro-
kernels as well as the fused gemmtrsm micro-kernels.
- Fixed a bug in trsm_u_blk_var1 whereby the gemm macro-kernel was being
called for blocks strictly above the diagonal. While this sounds good in
theory, this cannot be done because gemm_ker_var2 expects row panels of
A to be packed from top to bottom, while for trsm_u, A is actually packed
from bottom to top due to the reverse (BR->TL) nature of the algorithm.
- Fixed a bug in packm_cxk() whereby panel packings with unit panel
dimensions were mishandled due to incorrect arguments to the copyv kernel.
Also changed the copyv kernel invocation to scal2v so that these edge
cases are properly handled when scaling is requested.
- Fixed a bug in packv_int() whereby an uninitialized object is passed in
instead of the source object.
- Fixed a bug whereby level-2 code could allocate memory dynamically via
bl2_malloc() and then attempt to free it via bl2_mm_release(). Also fixed
a potential future bug whereby a mem_t object that is actually no longer
"allocated" from the static pool is mistaken for being allocated due to
failure to NULLify the buffer when the block was most recently released.
- Fixed a bug in bl2_acquire_mpart_*() whreby the uplo field was mistakenly
toggled when the requested subpartition needed to be "reflected" due to it
residing in an unstored region.
